New
Leeds Film Player titles for February and March, including
Charter, Assassins and more...

|
Charter & Sami
Blood: LIFF presents the
Award-Winning
Features of Amanda Kernell
Leeds Film Player has an exciting
new line-up of films launching this week for the February and
March period. We have selected a few of the best new releases and
other recent highlights and are presenting them alongside another
small batch of previous LIFF Favourites. This time we are
offering low cost passes for each category - LIFF Selects
and LIFF Audience
Favourites - to enjoy multiple films.
The line-up includes an online UK
exclusive of the gripping second feature by Amanda Kernell. Charter is a psychologically complex
study of motherhood by the Swedish, Southern Sami director and
screenwriter. In the middle of a contentious custody battle,
Alice takes her children on an illicit trip, determined to
re-assert her role as mother and protector.
Also streaming is Amanda
Kernell’s outstanding debut feature Sami Blood,
which was an audience favourite at LIFF 2017 and also won the
European Parliament’s Lux Prize for Best European Film.
Elle, a teenage reindeer herder in 1930s Sweden, faces a society
rife with prejudice where she is forcibly removed from her family
and sent to a state boarding school.

March) & Sami Blood (1 Feb - 16 March) on Leeds Film Player

Extraordinary new
documentary Assassins
Assassins is one of the new releases coming soon to Leeds
Film Player and it’s one of the most extraordinary documentaries
of recent years. The story zones in on the bizarre assassination
of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s half-brother Kim Jong-nam in
a Malaysian airport. CCTV footage appears to show clear evidence
of those responsible but the truth is it’s an astonishing
cover-up.
Coming soon to Leeds
Film Player (date TBC)

Last and First Men: The Visionary Work of
Jóhann Jóhannsson
Based on Olaf Stapledon’s cult sci-fi novel, Last and First Men is
the only film directed by the late Icelandic composer
Jóhann Jóhannsson (Sicario, Arrival). Set two billion years
in the future, the last survivors of an advanced society,
voiced by Tilda Swinton, reflect on their existence.
Combining hypnotic 16mm black-and-white images of
Yugoslavian monuments and an ethereal score, Jóhannsson
creates a profound meditation on the end of days.

Past Love and Lost Innocence in Luxor
Zeina Durra’s beautifully understated drama Luxor builds from a subtle and complex central
performance by Andrea Riseborough as a burned out British
aid worker on leave in the ancient Egyptian city of Luxor.
It’s a hauntingly beautiful place where she once lived for
a short time many years before. When she comes across
Sultan (Karim Saleh), an archeologist and former lover, it
stirs up old feelings and regrets.

A White, White Day: Hlynur Pálmason's
slow-burning Icelandic drama
A White, White Day is one of the best Scandinavian dramas of the
last few years and a highly distinctive second feature for
director Hlynur Pálmason. Ingvar Sigurdsson puts in an
intense central performance as Ingimundur, a police chief
who is mourning the death of his wife. He becomes obsessed
with the idea that she was having an affair with a local
man, with troubling consequences for everyone he knows.

LIFF Audience Favourites:
And Then We Danced & more
We're presenting a selection of previous
LIFF audience favourites. These include And Then We Danced, an
intense love story set in the dynamic but
ultra-conservative world of traditional Georgian dance and Atelier de conversation
about individuals from across the world gathering to
practice the French language. Rain the Colour Blue with a Little
Red in it is a desert remake of Prince’s 80s
rock-u-drama Purple Rain set in Saharan Africa and Chuck Norris vs Communism
is the inspiring story of a courageous female VHS translator
in 1980s Romania.

towards brighter times.

greenest cities in the UK and with so much natural beauty on the doorstep,
now is a great time to get out and explore your local neighbourhood. We
love seeing our stunning city through your lens, so why not share your
spring images with us on Instagram and we can share with everyone else! Use

with a spring in our step, lets leap into March and enjoy everything that
our fantastic city has to offer!
