Animal FarmCelebrated animation based on the classic satirical novel ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell. The film is a political fable, telling the story of Farmer Jones’ animals who wage a revolution, overthrow their brutal master and take over the farm, only to discover their idealism betrayed by power and corruption.

The film will be preceded by screening of a documentary about a staged production of ‘Animal Farm’ at Dalbeattie High School in December 2007 and a discussion led by the Creative Education Arts Team (CREATE) and TAG theatre company about the production.

Man on Wire (12A) – Dir. James Marsh
UK 2008, 1h34m, English and French with subtitles

Man on WireBreathtaking documentary presenting French funambulist Philippe Petit who walked eight times between the World Trade Centre’s twin towers in 1974, dancing and joking on the wire as he went. Petit’s puckish energy makes him an incredibly engaging subject, and Marsh uses amateur archive footage, interviews, quirky reconstructions and a Michael Nyman score to compose his homage to the spirit of adventure that Petit embodies.

With the infamous wire walk dubbed “the artistic crime of the century”, ‘Man on Wire’ plays like a heist movie; Petit’s daring coup took six years of planning, numerous accomplices, forged documents and illegal trips up the half built towers. The film is testament to the team of eccentric geniuses and their Herculean effort.
