Argentinian Film Season presents; El Hijo De La Novia (The Son of The Bride) Friday August 2nd @ 7:30pm This magnificent comedy, made in 2001 at the height of Argentina’s economic crisis and nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, stars three of Argentina’s greatest living actors: Ricardo Darín, Héctor Alterio and Norma Aleandro. Darin and the director, Juan José Campanella, are a formidable team: they have made three other brilliant films together: El mismo amor, la misma lluvia (Same Love, Same Rain) (1999), Luna de Avellaneda (Moon of Avellaneda) (2004) and the Oscar-winning El secreto de sus ojos (The Secret in Their Eyes) (2009). But arguably, none can boast the delicious combination of tenderness and humour that threads throughout El hijo de la novia.  Find out more here.

Kennington Classics presents; Kitchen Stories (2003), Sunday August 18th @ 2:30pm Come and enjoy a selection of Ronald Grant’s personal favourite films. Kitchen Stories is a 2003 Norwegian film directed by Bent Hamer. He discovered some research from post war Sweden stating that an average housewife walks the equivalent number of miles as the distance between Stockholm and Congo, while preparing her family meals. Taking this idea, he created a story where Swedish efficiency researchers come to Norway to study Norwegian men, in an effort to help optimize their use of their kitchens. Folke Nilsson (Tomas Norström) is assigned to study the habits of Isak Bjørvik (Joachim Calmeyer). By the rules of the research institute, Folke has to sit on an umpire’s chair in Isak’s kitchen and observe him from there, but never talk to him.
