2057: Earth shivers beneath the wintry rays of a dying sun.

+ BLACK GOLD (U)

(UK 2007) dirs. Nick & Marc Francis 78m.

Multinational coffee companies dominate the industry worth over $80 billion, making coffee the most valuable trading commodity in the world after oil. But while global consumption is booming, the farmers in Ethiopia who produce some of the world’s finest beans are nearing starvation, such are the paltry prices paid by the coffee companies. This worthwhile and insightful documentary tells the compelling story of Tadesse Meskela, one man on a mission to save his 74,000 struggling coffee farmers from bankruptcy.

+ panel discussion with Nick Francis (director of BLACK GOLD), Sophi Tranchell (Managing Director of Divine Chocolate & Chair of Fairtrade London Steering Group) and Barbara Crowther (Head of Communications, Fairtrade Foundation)

28 WEEKS LATER (18)

(UK 2007) dir. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo 100m.

Robert Carlyle, Catherine McCormack, Rose Byrne, Idris Elba.

Following the release of the rage virus in 28 DAYS LATER, Britain is empty. Now, with the Isle of Dogs as their base, the US Army arrives to reboot the country - starting with the repatriation of the thousands of Britons who sat out the disaster abroad. But is it really safe to return? The set-up is thoroughly and frighteningly convincing. There's no horror movie gloss here - this looks as real as the 'News At Ten'. Superb.

JOE STRUMMER: THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN (15)

Mick Jones, Topper Headon, Steve Jones, Don Letts, Bono, Johnny Depp, Martin Scorsese, John Cusack, Matt Dillon, Steve Buscemi, Courtney Love, Jim Jarmusch.

As the front man of the Clash from 1977 onwards, Joe Strummer changed people’s lives forever. Four years after his death, his influence reaches out around the world, more strongly now than ever before. In The Future Is Unwritten, from British director Julien Temple (The Filth and the Fury, Glastonbury), Joe Strummer is revealed not just as a legend or musician, but as a true communicator of our times. THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN is a raw, hand-spliced patchwork of iconic images and found footage, news clips, films, and unseen home movies, purely evocative of time, place and of the individual that was Joe Strummer.

FENDER BENDER
(UK 2003) dir. Daniel Elliott
A young boy tries to discharge his stress and anger caused by the death of his little sister in a car accident. But all to no avail. There is only one solution...

HOLIDAY
(UK / France 2004) dir. Laurence Coriat
A summer's day. Two teenage boys drift, aimlessly riding a stolen car. One of the boys looks for escape from an ambivalent relationship with his depressed single mother.

THE LOVERS (Die Liebenden)
(Austria 2004) dir. Johannes Hammel
The second part of a small trilogy, dealing with the extinction of memories. THE LOVERS transforms an old Super 8 porn film into both a tragic love story and a horror movie, and finally into a memory that is being destroyed in the inner world.

GET THE RABBIT BACK
(Bulgaria 2005) dirs. Kamen Kalev & Dimitar Mitovski
Gathered in a room, men and women stand still, petrified, staring... Incapable of moving, they seem to be stopped by an invisible force.

TSIKIBOT
(Finland 2006) dir. Antti Silvennoinen
TSIKIBOT is a non-verbal, experimental film, which innovatively exploits methods of visual and sound effects. Tsikibots in television enthrall a bored student in a retro-fashioned classroom – nothing will be the same again.

CHINESE TONGUE DIAGNOSIS

A playful view of one of the essential diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine.

Sat 30 Jun • Cycle Racing Madness

To celebrate the 2007 Tour de France coming to London, Friend of the Rio and keen cyclist Sean Singh-Marlowe curates a special programme of films.

LONDON - HOLYHEAD (PG) 2.15

(UK 1964) 25m. A film from the Ray Pascoe collection.

The longest one day cycle race in the UK. Marble Arch, London was the starting point. Forty riders faced a 5am start and a 278 mile slog to Holyhead. After 11 hours, 47 minutes, Albert Hitchin was first to cross the line with team mate Billy Holmes.

+ POUR UN MAILLOT JAUNE (PG)

(France 1965) dir. Claude Lelouch 25m.

Recognised as one of the best films made about the Tour, POUR UN MAILLOT JAUNE has everything that the Tour was in the 60's - a carnival atmosphere, streams of cars and riders cheered on by adoring roadside fans. A loving testimony to the enduring appeal of the world's greatest bike race.

+ THE FLYING SCOTSMAN (15)

(UK 2007) dir. Douglas Mackinnon 102m. Digital.

Jonny Lee Miller, Billy Boyd, Brian Cox, Laura Fraser, Morven Christie, Steven Berkoff, Moray Hunter, Ron Donachie, Sean Brown, Niall Fulton, Philip Wright, Adrian Smith.

The remarkable true story of Scottish cyclist Graeme Obree. In 1993, and as an unemployed amateur, Obree broke the world one-hour record on a bike of his own revolutionary design, which he constructed out of scrap metal and parts of a washing machine.

LUNACY (18) 11.15pm

(Czech Republic 2005) dir. Jan Svankmajer 118m. Subtitles.

Pavel Liska, Jan Triska, Anna Geislerova, Martin Huba, Jaroslav Dusek.

Czech surrealist Jan Svankmajer's fifth feature charts the misadventures of a shy young man who comes under the influence of a degenerate Marquis. Confidently blending live-action and stop-motion animation and following its own perverse logic, Svanjmaker's provocative fable uses the treatment of the mad as a metaphor for how we are collectively controlled by those in power.

ERASERHEAD (18) 11.15pm

(United States 1976) dir. David Lynch 89m.

Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph, Jeanne Bates.

David Lynch's outstanding first feature and the beginning of a remarkable career. Henry Spencer undergoes all manner of surreal events when he is left holding his girlfriend's mutant 'baby': fat-cheeked women emerge from the radiator and sing opera, the lights have a mind of their own, and Henry himself meets the mind-boggling fate that explains the title. Baffling, amusing, disgusting and entirely unique, Lynch creates some of the most striking imagery ever to appear on a cinema screen.

+ WILD AT HEART (18)

(USA 1990) dir. David Lynch 124m.

Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Willem Dafoe, Isabella Rossellini, Harry Dean Stanton.

In this Wizard of Oz inspired road movie, Lula (a gorgeous Laura Dern) and reckless Sailor (Cage in full-on Elvis mode) are madly in love. After Sailor is involved in a violent incident he breaks his parole and the two go on the run, much to the worry of Lula’s mother - who closely resembles a terrifying Wicked Witch… With great appearances from Isabella Rossellini and Willem Dafoe, a superb soundtrack and many dark and haunting moments, this twisted love story is pure and utter brilliance. See it.

TESTOSTERONE (15) 6.15

(Poland 2006) dirs. Tomasz Konecki & Andrzej Saramonowicz 120m. Subtitles.

Piotr Adamczyk, Borys Szyc, Maciej Stuhr, Cezary Kosinski.

TESTOSTERONE is a comedy of the sexes. After the wild party after the wedding that never happened, the protagonists try to understand human sexuality and the difference between the sexes. Are human beings determined by biology or culture? What affects the choices we make? Free will? Or the selfish gene? Based on the highly successful play by Andrzej Saramonowicz, this clever and hilarious portrait of the constant struggle of men and women to understand one another has recently been a huge box office hit in Poland.

EL TOPO (18) 11.15pm

Alejandro Jodorowsky, Brontis Jodorowsky, José Legarreta, Alfonso Arau, José Luis Fernández, Alf Junco, Jacqueline Luis, Mara Lorenzio, David Silva.

A black-clad gunslinger's journey toward enlightenment involves killing four holy masters and liberating a strange subterranean community, in Alejandro Jodorowsky's mystical western that transformed him into a countercultural icon and kick-started the 'midnight movie' boom. Poignant, visceral and occasionally baffling it stands as a gloriously strange remnant from a long since passed era and a landmark work in subversive cinema.

Sat 21 Jul • Late Night Jodorowsky

THE HOLY MOUNTAIN (18) 11.15pm

(Mexico 1975) dir. Alejandro Jodorowsky 114m. Subtitles. Digital.

Alejandro Jodorowsky, Horácio Salinas, Zamira Saunders, Juan Ferrara, Adriana Page, Burt Kleiner.

A limbless man laughs as a gang of naked boys stone a Christlike figure. An old man gazes longingly at a juvenile prostitute, before taking out his glass eye and placing it in her hand. A thief becomes caught up with a group who set out on a mission to find immortality. They are led by a dubious guru, played by the director himself. Welcome to the overactive imagination of Jodorowsky. This follow-up to EL TOPO is a barrage of images often playful, occasionally horrible, frequently beautiful, and always fascinating.
