Pirate Radio

February 12th - February 18th

“I fell in love with it and have yet to fall out of love with it. I don’t expect I shall. This is a movie I suspect I will only come to treasure more with the passage of time.” — Mountain Xpress

“Curtis’s movie is loosely based on the historical truths of the time, but it isn’t meant as a documentary, a rockumentary, or even a docucomedy. It’s just a hell of a lot of fun. ” — Film.com

From filmmaker Richard Curtis comes Pirate Radio, the irreverent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays whose "pirate radio" captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Playing the music that rocked a nation and a decade, the group boldly and hilariously defies the government that tries to shut them down. Broadcasting live 24/7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction), Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation, ranging in age from wide-eyed pre-teens secretly tuning in long past their bedtimes to everyday people in need of a musical pick-me-up. As the ship sails on and rocks out, what the freewheeling, free-loving Radio Rock gang don't know is that back in London, a landlocked government minister has embarked on a vehement crusade to silence their signal - permanently. To stay afloat and keep their devoted audience plugged in, the crew will have to band together and trust in the power of music like never before. An all-star cast includes Philip S. Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost, and Kenneth Branagh. 2hrs 14min/ UK/ R

A Town Called Panic
(Panique au Village)

February 19th - February 25th

Best Animated Feature Film, Sitges - Catalonian International Film Festival
Audience Award, Fantastic Fest

"The film zips by so fast that the visual jokes run into each other like a freeway pileup; by the time you even think about laughing at one, another four or five squeal and crash right behind it. But once you get attuned to Patar and Aubier's bizarre wavelength, A Town Called Panic proves surprisingly compulsive, both for its moment-to-moment inventiveness and for the way it coaxes out the ADD kid in all of us." — NPR

"A Town Called Panic is an adventure story as fast-paced and exciting as any currently in theaters. — NY Times

"There's really very little to say about this film beyond that it's absolutely brilliant." — The Hollywood Reporter

Audience Award Winner at Fantastic Fest 2009 and the first stop-motion animated feature selected to Cannes. Hilarous and frequently surreal, this stop-motion extravaganza has endless charms and raucous laughs for children from eight to eighty. Based on the Belgian animated cult TV series (which was released by Wallace and Gromit's Aardman Studios), Panic stars three plastic toys named Cowboy, Indian and Horse who share a rambling house in a rural town that never fails to attract the weirdest events. With panic a permanent feature of life in this paper-mâché burg, will Horse and his equine paramour-flame-tressed music teacher Madame Longray-ever find a quiet moment alone? A sort of Gallic Monty Python crossed with Art Clokey on acid, A Town Called Panic is zany, brainy and altogether insane-y! 1hr 15mins/ Belgium/ in French/ NR (Switzerland:7)
