LIFF Presents the Three Colours Trilogy with Pictureville Cinema

 

A combined image of three stills from each film, showing lead characters in colours which represent the French flag.

 

Leeds International Film Festival have teamed up with Pictureville Cinema at the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford to present the new 4K restoration by Curzon of the Three Colours Trilogy, a cinematic masterpiece created by the legendary Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski. The trilogy consists of three films - Three Colours: Blue, Three Colours: White and Three Colours: Red - each representing one color of the French flag and exploring the themes of liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Together, the Three Colours Trilogy represents a tour-de-force of cinematic storytelling, featuring Kieślowski's signature themes of human connection and the search for meaning in life. The trilogy has won numerous awards and accolades since its release in the 1990s and has become a beloved classic of world cinema.

Don't miss the unique chance to experience these timeless films in all their restored, high-definition glory on the big screen.  

 

 

 

 

Three colours: Blue

 

 A woman sits on a reclining seat, bathed in blue light and shadow.

 

 8 - 9 April / Pictureville Cinema

Three Colours: Blue is the first in Krzysztof Kieślowski’s acclaimed trilogy and tells the story of Julie (in a stunning performance by Juliet Binoche) who is struggling to come to terms with the death of her husband and child. Devastated, she tries to make a new start but begins to uncover some unpleasant facts about her husband’s life. Three Colours: Blue was released to immediate success, winning the top prizes at the 1993 Venice Film Festival and unanimous praise from critics and audiences worldwide. 

 

 

 

 

Three colours: WHITE

 

A close up of a young bride, smiling directly at the audience, bathed in white.

 

14 - 16 April / Pictureville Cinema

The second film in the Three Colours trilogy is an ironic dark comedy about a man who plots revenge on his ex-wife (Julie Delphy) after his life falls apart. Tonally lighter than the other Three Colours films, White is a witty, bittersweet anti-comedy which explores the revolutionary theme of equality as represented by its colour on the French flag.

 

 

 

 

THREE COLOURS: RED

 

A profile show of a  young woman blowing bubblegum, in front of a red fabric backdrop.

 

22 - 23 April / Pictureville Cinema

Three Colours: Red is the final film in the trilogy and is often considered Kieślowski’s masterpiece, released to universal critical acclaim shortly before Kieślowski’s death and nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Director. It tells the story of a model named Valentine (Irène Jacob) whose own life becomes entangled in the life of a retired judge when she rescues his dog from a car accident. The film explores themes of love, coincidence, and the interconnectedness of all things and ties together the previous films of the trilogy. 

 

 

 

 

IN SHORT, EUROPE: AWAKENING

21 - 22 April / Everyman Leeds

EUNIC London, in collaboration with the European Union Delegation to the UK, LEEDS 2023 and Leeds International Film Festival, is pleased to present the fifth edition of In Short, Europe short film festival, a collection of short films from 24 European countries. 

 

 

This edition, entitled Awakening, is organised into four strands: Explore, Surround, Grow and Dream, and invites you to imagine new beginnings, reflect on your past experiences and dare to dream of a brighter future.

 

 

The programme has been curated by Ellie Hales, a film programmer at Leeds International Film Festival. Tickets for the short film strands are free of charge.

 

 

 

 

 

LEEDS YOUNG FILM FESTIVAL

1 - 8 April / Carriageworks Theatre & HEART Centre 

 

Leeds Young Film Festival is currently taking place but there's still some fantastic films to check out including the Cinemini Short Films; a collection of short films from around the world for little ones. Another highlight is Gabi, Between Ages 8 - 13, a fascinating documentary following a talkative and lively girl over 5 years as she begins to explore her own identity. And on Saturday 8 April we're teaming up with Hyde Park Picture House to bring you Amazing Animations at HEART Centre; a wonderful collection of shorts from the London International Animation Festival. Book now to enjoy family films with the ones you love over the Easter Holidays. 

 

 

 

 

Films at Howard Assembly Room

Still from Embrace of the Serpent (screening April 21)

 

Howard Assembly Room have a new programme of films complementing – and critiquing – Opera North’s concert staging of Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers. With introductions by specialist academics from the University of Leeds, these films by female and global majority directors offer a contemporary counterbalance to the opera, and a space for critical thinking and discussion on the subjects it raises for us today. Claire Denis' masterpiece Beau Travail is a luminous tale of desire and despair in the French Foreign Legion, screening Thursday 6 April. Embrace of the Serpent will be screening Friday 21 April; shot on 35mm film, Ciro Guerra’s dreamlike masterpiece follows two Western scientists, 40 years apart, who venture deep into the Amazon on a quest for a legendary healing plant, and appeal to the same shaman for guidance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leeds Film is supported by the British Film Institute.

Leeds Film is proud to have achieved the BFI Diversity Standards.

 

Leeds International Film Festival is part of Leeds Ticket Hub, the city's cultural ticket office: Leeds Ticket Hub, Carriageworks Theatre, The Electric Press, 3 Millennium Square, Leeds, LS2 3AD.

Hi,


It's all happening again this week down at the Dom. Jazz, Blues, Funk and Soul, alongside the best drinks in town.

Here at The Domino Club we'd also like to extend our most sincere apologies to anyone who took our April Fools prank on Instagram seriously, as a bunch of old farts we were not aware that the pop band Busted had such a loyal following and we are very sorry to have got your hopes up with our silly little joke. Never say never, but I doubt they'll be on our stage anytime soon.

Cheers.

The Domino Team

With the theme of Let's Experiment, learning has never been this much fun! The end of the month sees the theatrical Beltane Fire Festival celebrate the first signs of summer with an exciting performance of dance, music and more on Calton Hill.

Music lovers are in for a treat, with two big events taking centre stage. The Edinburgh International Harp Festival celebrates the talents of the global harp community, while for a true taste of Scottish traditional and folk music, Edinburgh Tradfest is sure to delight.

Showcasing the beauty and diversity of the Scottish landscape, The Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Exhibition features award-winning images from 100 talented photographers. If it’s Scotland’s great range of craft beer that is more to your liking, don’t miss Leith Spring Brewery Market.
