This August, Argonaut Books and Leith Kino are joining forces for a special Book Fringe collaboration. “When you talk about The Swimmer will you talk about yourself? Adapting John Cheever’s 13-page short story into feature length, filmmaker Frank Perry brought The Swimmer’s vision of mid-century American suburban life with help from a screenplay written by his wife Eleanor. A hazy, sun-drenched odyssey through an affluent neighbourhood in Connecticut, The Swimmer opens with a strange introduction to its main character. Half-naked and bursting out of the woods, Burt Lancaster’s Ned Merrill gleefully exclaims that he plans on finding his way home not through walking but through swimming a path through his neighbours' pools. Along his journey, Merrill’s encounters with fellow members of the upper-middle class progressively reveals what truly lies beneath the swimmer’s cheery demeanor and a dark undercurrent at the heart of this seemingly idyllic lifestyle. Now a cult classic, Perry’s film long went underappreciated and is now considered a landmark work that features a career best performance by Burt Lancaster and a laser sharp critique of the American Dream.

“We’re making a film about an artist who didn’t want to be remembered.” Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich's debut feature is a 'post-biopic' of the revolutionary Martiniquan anti-colonial writer, Suzanne Césaire. The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire (2024) embraces the gaps of memory, opting instead to transmit the glorious messages that Suzanne left behind in her essays. The cast and crew recite fragments of Césaire's work, hynoptically pulling us into a film within a film. In other scenes, they reenact Aimé, her husband, and Suzanne's lives. Time collapses, nature endures. Aptly shot on the grounds of a palm tree archive, Hunt-Ehrlich restates Césaire's Afrosurrealist convictions in a paradise of Black feminist history.

Experience a beautifully restored version of Jean Epstein’s 1929 silent classic Finis Terrae, with a newly composed original score performed live by Edinburgh-based multi-instrumentalist Dan Abrahams and French drummer Philippe Boudot. On the treeless, windswept islet of Bannec off the Breton coast, four seaweed harvesters set up camp for the season, smoke rising from their pyres of burning algae. Trouble begins when a quarrel between Ambroise and Jean-Marie over a broken wine bottle leaves the young Ambroise injured, and simmering tensions give way to fear and mistrust. Shot in a documentary style using local non-actors, Jean Epstein’s film reveals a harsh, isolated world where human lives are shaped by labour, weather and the sea. Through bold, poetic images of landscape, sky and water, Finis Terrae becomes both a drama of survival and a landmark of silent cinema: elemental, atmospheric and alive with menace and beauty. Performed live by Dan Abrahams and Philippe Boudot. Presented by Amanda Rogers of Cinetopia.
