This Tuesday, 13th October Foxlowe Films brings you "California Schemin’" - James McAvoy’s directorial debut

An irresistible, feelgood tale, based on the real life story of two aspiring Scottish MCs who dream of hip-hop stardom. However, no one in the early 2000s UK rap scene takes them – two white guys with thick Dundee accents – seriously. Fed up of being laughed out of auditions, they hatch an audacious scheme to achieve their dream of a record deal by posing as Californian hip hop artists - Silibil N’ Brains.

Incredibly, their scheme works. But as fame beckons and the lies pile up, their deception threatens to spin out of control. With a terrific soundtrack, California Schemin’ is a funny and poignant take on image, friendship and the double-edged sword of ambition.

Film starts at 7.45 pm, bar from 7 pm. Tickets available on the door, from the cafe or online.

This Tuesday, 6th October at Foxlowe Films, come see the latest from Steven Soderbergh, "The Christophers".
Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel spar in Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh’s complex comedy of art and avarice. Lori (Coel) divides her time between freelance art restoration and work in a food truck. Her fortunes change when she’s approached by the estranged heirs of brilliant painter Julian Sklar (McKellen) with a plan for Lori to finish nine uncompleted, abandoned paintings (‘The Christophers’) from Sklar’s London home, thereby reaping a third of the profits after Sklar’s imminent death.

Screening this Tuesday, 29th September at the Foxlowe is "Nouvelle Vague" aka Waiting for Godard

Earlier this year we screened Jean-Luc Godard’s revolutionary Breathless. Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague reimagines the making of the film in early 60s Paris as the eternally bonkers and impossible Godard set about breaking all the rules of cinema.

Newcomer Guillaume Marbeck plays Godard directing Jean Seberg (Zoey Deutch) and Jean-Paul Belmondo (Aubry Dill) as star-crossed lovers, filming with unorthodox spontaneity on the streets of Paris. Beautifully shot in monochrome, Nouvelle Vague is an ode not just to Breathless and the art of filmmaking, but to a transformative period that gave birth modern cinema.

Film starts at 7.45 pm, bar from 7 pm. Tickets available on the door, from the cafe or online.

At Foxlowe Films this Tuesday, 22nd September we're screening "H is for Hawk".
Following the sudden death of her father, Helen (Claire Foy) loses herself in the memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together. In doing so she turns to the ancient art of falconry - training a wild goshawk named Mabel to navigate her profound loss. But as she teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life. What begins as an act of endurance transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing. Director Philippa Lowthorpe’s arresting adaptation boasts dazzling footage of the falconry and a career-best performance from Foy.

Film starts at 7.45 pm, bar from 7 pm. Tickets available on the door,
from the cafe or online.
