Shot at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv, the film reveals in detail the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. In Hebrew with English subtitles.
“We made this film out of a sense of obligation to use our position as Israelis to examine the systems behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians for which our country is responsible. While filming over the past three years, we found ourselves asking the very questions that were asked by our grandparents’ generation and throughout the 20th century: how does one group of people allow the total dehumanisation of another? What do the inner workings of such a system look like?”
– Directors’ Statement
EVENT HORIZON (1997)
It’s Friday the 13th at the Theatre Royal, and a chance to get together for something appropriate for all our local supporters of the spooky. At the same time, we’re still feeling the loss of the great Sam Neill, and wanted to give him another tribute. Thus… See Event Horizon (Paul W. S. Anderson, 1997) on the big screen, following a special pre-roll put together for the occasion.Â
In 2047, the crew of the rescue vessel Lewis and Clark, led by Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne), are sent to investigate and salvage the starship Event Horizon which disappeared mysteriously on its maiden voyage, seven years before. Accompanied by the ship’s designer, Dr. Weir (Sam Neill), the crew boards the derelict ship to search for survivors. However, it soon becomes evident that something sinister resides in its corridors, and not all is as it seems. Part sci-fi, part horror film, and a proper reminder that in a haunted house on a spaceship… no one can hear you scream.
UNIVERSAL HORROR DOUBLE
Universal Horror Double Feature: The Invisible Man (1933) + Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
Join us at the Theatre Royal this All Hallow’s Eve as we celebrate the glorious period that was Universal Horror of the early Hollywood Golden Age. Some would argue that we are experiencing a renewal of Universal’s great horror films, but there really was nothing at all like those first years of talking pictures when experimentations with sound film equalled the great sci-fi experimentations with bodies, invisibility, and invincibility.
To celebrate, we have a double feature of classics from queer director James Whale that are guaranteed to tingle. Starting off at 7pm, The Invisible Man (1933), then after a short intermission, we’ll be back for more at 8.30pm with The Bride of Frankenstein (1935).
