PULP: What Do You Do For an Encore?

Book Now Book Now

In the spirit of Stop Making Sense and The Last Waltz, director Garth Jennings (Sing; The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) crafts a kinetic 90-minute movie that fuses the spectacle of Pulp’s arena show with four decades of colourful archival material, charting Pulp’s extraordinary journey from obscurity to cultural touchstone. Narrated by Pulp’s iconic frontman, Jarvis Cocker, and featuring twenty songs — hits and deep cuts — this movie is Pulp and Garth’s spectacular answer to the question, “What do you do for an encore?”

Kindergarten

Dir. Jean-François Caissy
84 min

In this charming Quebecois documentary, we are invited to look closely at the interactions of children between the ages of 1 and 5, a period in which they are just beginning to learn about social interactions. And yet how much they resemble ourselves!

Filipiñana

Dir. Rafael Manuel
100 min

A luxury golf course in the Philippines is the microcosm for Rafel Manuel's vastly assured feature debut, a striking composed comedy which mixes languid surrealism with pointed political satire.

Chronovisor

Dir. Kevin Walker, Jack Auen
100 min

A device so sensitive it can pick up emanations from history, the Chronovisor caused a ripple in scientific circles in the latter half of the 20th century, although most dismissed it as a hoax. But why would anyone want to suppress a hoax?

American Doctor

Dir. Poh Si Teng
93 min

One of the most powerful documentaries of the year, this puts us smack in the open wound that is Gaza, filtered through the eyes of three American surgeons (of Palestinian, Jewish and Zoroastrian backgrounds) compelled to do their utmost to alleviate harm.
