Some of the best cinema from around the world finds its way o­nto our screens in March – from the raw poetic energy of the Nick Cave scripted ‘The Proposition’ to the award-winning new film from the Dardenne brothers ‘The Child’. World cinema continues to amaze – from South Africa, Oscar®-nominated Tsotsi is a  powerful tale set in the Johannesburg townships, whilst cult South Korean director Chan-Wook Park continues his thrilling revenge dramas with ‘Sympathy For Lady Vengeance’. 

Another Academy Award nominee o­n our screens this month is Felicity Huffman in ‘Transamerica’ who gives a remarkable performance as a pre-operative male to female transsexual struggling to come to terms with her identity. Also from the US, ‘The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada’ is a powerfully political modern day fable directed by and starring Hollywood A- lister Tommy Lee Jones.

We showcase two new feature films in March which innovatively combine animation and live action: Dave McKean's ‘MirrorMask’ is an extraordinarily realised fantastical world and ‘The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes’ is a part-fairytale part-nightmare vision from the dark imagination of the Brothers Quay.

The Left Coast Crime literary convention comes to Bristol this month for its first ever visit to the UK, and to celebrate we bring you a season of classic film noirs which explore the influence of writer James M Cain, including the reissue of the classic ‘Double Indemnity’. Continuing the crime theme, we are screening the 1967 adaptation of Truman Capote’s ground-breaking novel ‘In Cold Blood’, the book explored in the award-winning ‘Capote’.

The seventh Sheffield International Documentary Festival o­n Tour brings together a selection of four diverse new real life dramas, and there is a unique opportunity to see Michael Winterbottom's new film ‘The Road to Guantanamo’ o­n the big screen (pictured right). To coincide with Central America Week we also have a special screening of award-winning documentary ‘The Devil's Miner’ – an impassioned film about children who work in the mines of Bolivia.
