Two films, both typical of epidemic cinema, chillingly depict the fragility of society in the face of infectious disease and the threat of survivors having to cope with the ruination of a life they know so well. Followed by a discussion led by an expert of Infectious Diseases.STRANDPandemic Double BillPREMIERE TYPEDavid Hare/UK/2011/100 minCast: Bill Nighy, Rachel Weisz, Ralph Fiennes, Michael GambonSAT 18 JUNE 16:45 FILMHOUSE 1SUN 19 JUNE 20:00 FILMHOUSE 1PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONC)David Hare's first directorial outing for twenty years, a potent political thriller, luxuriously cast with British acting heavyweights.Centre stage is Bill Nighy's Johnny Worricker, a long serving and suffering MI5 officer. When his boss and best friend suddenly dies, he is left to navigate what soon reveals itself to be a treacherous tangle of intrigue, winding right to the very top of the British political establishment. As the Arab spring heats into summer, this is powerfully timely state of the nation stuff, and yet a finely drawn, personal character study, attacked with detail and aplomb by Nighy, that most subtle of virtuosi.Page EightFEATURE - UKWORLD PREMIEREFEATURES - INTERNATIONALINTERNATIONAL PREMIEREJulien Donada/France/2011/90 minCast: Daniel Duval, Chiara Caselli, Thomas Gonzalez, Françoise Arnoul, Cyril Guei, Nanou Garcia, Aurélia Petit, Catherine RouvelFRI 17 JUNE 21:55 FILMHOUSE 1SUN 19 JUNE 19:00 FILMHOUSE 3PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONC)In Nice, fifty-year-old police officer Michel Matarasso feels old, weary, and desperate for an all-consuming love.Facing violence and death on the streets every day, Michel's sleep is invaded by relentless nightmares that never allow him to rest. His life is transformed when he discovers the body of a young woman who has committed suicide. Daniel Duval gives a tender and evocative performance as Matarasso in this vibrant film about the depths of human love and loneliness.On the ShoreFEATURES - INTERNATIONALUK PREMIERERomain Gavras/France/2010/87 minCast: Vincent Cassel, Olivier BartelemyFRI 17 JUNE 19:40 FILMHOUSE 1MON 20 JUNE 21:50 FILMHOUSE 1PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONC)Those familiar with Gavras's gritty, realistic, uncompromising music videos - M.I.A.'s 'Born Free' anyone? - will be eagerly anticipating his first full length narrative, and unsurprised to learn that no punches are pulled, that the film will disquiet many. Alienated, disaffected, vilified, closeted red-head Remy (Olivier Barthelemy) assaults and escapes from his mother, and falls under thrall of the charismatic, racist, violent Patrick (Vincent Cassel), who takes him on a bizarre nihilistic road trip. The screening will be preceeded by a selection of the director's seminal music videos, and was one of many terrific ideas suggested by the good folk at Dazed and Confused, guest curators of EIFF 2011.Our Day Will Come

Cains' classic The Postman Always Rings Twice, set in Hungary in the 1930s.György Fehèr's aim was to "make a film which is similar to the last salvaged print of a long lost film". The passions he investigates are centred around primeval fears and cravings and a sense of inescapable doom. Shot in powerful black and white with excellent central performances. Programmed by Béla Tarr, one of EIFF 2011's guest curators.PassionFEATURE - UKUK PREMIEREDavid MacKenzie/UK/2010/90 minCast: Ewan McGregor, Eva Green, Connie Nielson, Ewen BremnerSAT 18 JUNE 19:45 CAMEO 1SUN 19 JUNE 22:10 CAMEO 1PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONC)Falling in love, as the world falls apart.David McKenzie's Glasgow-set tale of love in a time of apocalypse sees a welcome reteaming of Young Adam's (EIFF 2003) director and star. Ewan McGregor is Michael, head chef at a swanky restaurant, and Eva Green the aloof epidemiologist who catches his eye, and who is hearing reports across Scotland (and the world) of people whose emotions are running wild - just before they lose their sense of smell. Then another sense fails . A timely tale indeed - of undeniable, and, ultimately, devastating power.Perfect SenseFEATURES - INTERNATIONALUK PREMIERENicolás Goldbart/Argentina/2010/96 minCast: Daniel Hendler, Federico Luppi, Jazmin Stuart, Jose 'Yayo' GuridiTHU 16 JUNE 22:00 CAMEO 1FRI 17 JUNE 17:45 CAMEO 1PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONC)A couple have trouble with their neighbours ... as the apocalypse dawns.An unstoppable epidemic sweeps through Argentina, and the population descend into panic. As the fight for survival in their quarantined apartment block also spirals out of control, Coco, (Daniel Hendler), struggles to protect his pregnant wife Pipi, (Jazmin Stuart), from the escalating chaos outside... and the neighbours. Brilliantly low-key, this dark genre parody is a gem, and a must for all cult film fans. As part of Reel Science programme, the second screening will be followed by a in depth discussion with a leading epidemiologist.STRANDPhase 7PREMIERE TYPESophie Fiennes/UK/Austria/Netherlands/ 2006/150 minCast: Slavoj ZizekSAT 25 JUNE 19:30 FILMHOUSE 3PRICE: £6.00 (£5.00 CONC)An exhilarating ride through some of the greatest movies ever made, starring contemporary philosophy's own rock 'n' roller.Charismatic Slavoj Zizek, acclaimed philosopher and critical theorist, delves into the hidden language of cinema, uncovering what movies can tell us about ourselves.
