Tim Davies: 50th Year to Heaven Fri 26 Nov — Sun 16 Jan • Gwe 26 Tach — Sul 16 Ion The seemingly simple beauty of Tim Davies’ work conceals complex and unexpected connections with politics, class and social issues. His concepts span time and place, conflict and power, and often focus on hidden historical details that question notions of colonialism and nationalism. This exhibition features new and existing works and includes a re-presentation of his acclaimed piece Cadet (2005-2010). In Cadet, a young soldier stands solemnly at a Remembrance Day service in Cardiff, stationed by a monument to remember the fallen. The simple poignancy of this moment is pitched against a second projection in which the camera frantically circles the monument just as the service comes to an end. In doing so, Davies — camera in hand — documents his own futile and exhausting action. The confusing and chaotic moving images overwhelm the senses, building in intensity and emotional resonance. The presentation is minimal, the narrative more complex and evocative; the work tugs, not at sentimentality, but at rational consciousness, and the need to ask why. Davies has also produced an installation and bookwork to accompany this exhibition. Figures documents his year-long contemplation of the use of photojournalistic images as a witness to local and global events within the print media. The work seeks out patterns amongst the ordinary and extraordinary — where the trivial is positioned next to the brutal, the usual alongside the unusual — within the framework of 365 days. Every day then acts as a witness. Biography Tim Davies lives and works in Swansea, having studied in London, Norwich and Canterbury. Past exhibitions include: Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea; Tallinn Art Hall, Estonia and Mostyn, Llandudno (2010); The Butler Gallery, Kilkenny, Ireland (2009); V22, London (2008); Aberystywth Arts Centre (2006); and CAC, Vilnius (2005). His work is represented in the Arts Council Collection at Hayward Gallery, London; the National Museum Wales, Cardiff; Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea; National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth and the Contemporary Arts Society. Tim will represent Wales at The Venice Biennale of Art 2011. This exhibition has received generous financial support from the Colwinston Charitable Trust.

Luna Park We were very sad to receive the news in October that Luna Park by Heather & Ivan Morison had been destroyed by fire on Southsea Common. An investigation has been carried out but the cause is still unconfirmed. The iconic dinosaur sculpture commissioned by Chapter was due to tour to Colchester and then to Cardiff Bay where we had planned a vibrant programme of family activity. The 16 metre high sculpture took three years to develop and build (it was constructed by 30 factory workers in Serbia) and was brought to the UK in August. Southsea was its first location and, such was the success of the project, a campaign was underway by local residents to make the sculpture permanent. The RIP Southsea Dinosaur Facebook group now boasts more than 10,000 members which goes some way to showing how people had taken the work to their hearts, and is why we were looking forward to bringing it ‘home’ to Cardiff next year! We’ve talked to the artists about whether the Ultrasauros could or should be rebuilt and we feel that it just isn’t feasible. Instead, we’re planning a publication to celebrate the project, featuring commissioned texts and also images taken by the public. We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, you can see the Morisons’ film ‘An Unreachable Country. A Long Way to Go’ in Cinema 1 in February. The film charts the production of the sculpture in rural Serbia. The political and social backdrop to the process reflects many of the references that oscillate through the Morisons’ practice: in working away from perceived centres, nurturing an active engagement with the resources and local inhabitants to inform and produce the work. The thirty-minute film cuts across factory activity, through the ritualistic preparation of a spit-roasted pig, to the lively conversations of the Serbian team. Often it lingers on the workers extended periods of inactivity within the exquisite, rural backdrop of the village. Look out for more details in the February magazine. Luna Park was commissioned by Chapter; aspex, Portsmouth; Firstsite, Colchester and Safle. It received financial support from the Arts Council of Wales and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

by Terry Johnson

Tue 7 Dec • 8pm • Maw 7 Rhag The final production in Michael Kelligan’s popular ‘Deadlier Than The Male’ season of script-held plays by women with female directors. Lynn Hunter directs this very successful radio play for the stage. It’s a tense and moving drama set on a housing estate in Cardiff where innocent children play, happily unaware that the war in Afghanistan is about to impinge on their lives. Catrin Clarke is a Bafta award-winning radio and television writer. She has worked on Belonging, Mistresses, Casualty and The Bill.

Containing as many twists and turns as one of Hitchcock’s own movies, it’s a darkly funny exploration of male manipulation and female counter-strategy, cutting back and forth between the present day, a 1919 London soundstage and the filming of that unforgettable shower scene in 1959. Thrilling, dramatic, witty and tragic, this is a play that can be equally enjoyed by Hitchcock fans and those who’ve never seen one of his films. Director: Bruce Guthrie.

Jerk by Gisele Vienne/ Dennis Cooper/ Jonathan Capdevielle Sat 5 Feb • 8pm • Sad 5 Chwef Gisele Vienne is an acclaimed French artist whose work spans dance, theatre, visual art and puppetry. A collaboration with writer Dennis Cooper and performer Jonathan Capdevielle, Jerk is an imaginary reconstruction of the crimes perpetrated by American serial killer Dean Corll who, with the help of teenagers David Brooks and Wayne Henley, killed more than twenty boys in Texas during the mid-70s. The performance centres on David Brooks, as he serves his life sentence. He has written a show which reconstructs the murders using puppets for all the roles, which he performs for a class of pyschology students. With its unabashed mingling of sexuality and violence, Jerk harks back to the historical glove puppet repertory, creating a contemporary performance which deals with taboo and violence to rare effect. This performance contains material that is not suitable for under 18s. £12/£10/£8

I worked with an artist who wanted to recreate Miller’s Primordial Soup Theory experiment in the gallery. Unfortunately the by-product is cyanide. I said no. We showed a flayed Mammoth instead. What has been your favourite gallery exhibition at Chapter? I like working on shows that radically change the space, so Salla Tykkä, Andre Stitt and Cornelia Parker are up there. If money was no object what would you buy (art or otherwise)? A yacht would be great. Failing that something by Rothko or Kiefer. Any other memorable/weird experiences at Chapter? It has to be exhibiting body parts, a radioactive vial, and having a chemical leak all in one show! Anyone who was there knows how exciting it was. Otherwise burying an artist in two tonnes of soil, fish, pigs ears, carrots… Are you going anywhere nice on your holidays? Having a look at skiing and snowboarding early next year. Tell us a joke… How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? Fish.

Christmas Party It’s not too late to book your office outing or that annual get-together with friends and family! Our party package offers you exclusive room hire, your very own private bar with wine and bottled beer, festive decorations, party music and a three course feast!

UK/2010/129mins/12A. Dir: Mike Leigh. With Lesley Manville, Jim Broadbent, Ruth Sheen, Imelda Staunton.

Receiving a warm reaction in Cannes, Mike Leigh’s latest film is a disarmingly humane and humorous celebration of something which rarely exists in cinema — a stable, happy family. Tom, a geologist, and his counsellor wife Gerri share a respectful and contented life with their son, a community lawyer. However, orbiting their stable core is an altogether less sorted satellite of lonely, alcoholic and depressed friends and family who share their trials and darkest fears with their two best friends. The film unwinds in four chapters that follow the seasons, as Leigh encourages us to realise that this is just ‘another year’ in the life of a family and time moves on.

UK/2010/90mins/part subtitled/ctba. Dir: Tim Albone and Lucy Martens.

Against a backdrop of war and poverty, this feature length documentary sheds new light on a nation beyond burqas, bombs, drugs and devastation. With executive production by Oscar-winning director and cricket enthusiast, Sam Mendes, Out of the Ashes follows the Afghan cricket team in their quest to qualify for the World Cup. Over two years, they go from playing on rubble pitches to batting their way around the globe and up the international league tables. We track the team as they eat fish and chips in Jersey, watch tango dancers in Argentina and swim in the sea for the first time, off the coast of Tanzania. Witty, touching and nail-biting to the end, this is a compelling story of triumph over adversity.

The Hunter Fri 26 Nov — Thu 2 Dec • Gwe 26 Tach — Iau 2 Rhag Germany/Iran/2010/92mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Rafi Pitts. With Rafi Pitts, Mitra Hajjar, Ali Nicksaulat.

This engaging film explores what it’s like to be a child in war — the conflict may be raging but children will still find time to tell stories or play games. Director Mark Cousins and producer Gill Parry travelled around Kurdish Iraq in 2008 and chose to film in the village of Goptapa, not only for its beauty but also for its tragic past. They gave cameras to children and asked them to create films about what they liked, including ‘animals, love and the Ba’ath regime’. Taking some influence from the 1001 Nights folk stories, this documentary uses a magical-realist style to tell the tale of how suffering can co-habit with wonder and imaginative development.

In an act of desperate vengeance after his wife and young daughter are caught up and killed in a shoot-out between police and demonstrators in Tehran, Ali randomly kills two policemen. Hounded into the woods, he’s caught and arrested, but when they get lost in this remote and desolate landscape, the boundaries between the hunters and the hunted are difficult to perceive. Written, directed and starring Iranian director Rafi Pitts (Its Winter), this is a gripping and beautifully shot tale of one man’s struggle to come to terms with the loss of his family and a government that fails to take account for the failings of their police.

Llygaid Sgwâr Gan Philip Wyn Jones Ganed Apichatpong Weerasethakul yn Bangkok ym 1970. Enillodd radd BA mewn Pensaernïaeth yng Ngwlad Thai ac MA mewn Ffilm yn Chicago. Ym 1999 sefydlodd gwmni annibynnol er mwyn cynhyrchu ei ffilmiau’i hun a hyrwyddo gwaith cyfarwyddwyr anghonfensiynol ac arbrofol eraill. Penderfynodd weithio y tu allan i system stiwdios Gwlad Thai a’u rheolau caeth. Mae’n ddyn hoyw ac mae rhywioldeb, breuddwydion, byd natur ac ailymgnawdoliad yn themâu amlwg yn ei waith. Ei ffilm nodwedd gyntaf oedd Mysterious Object at Noon (2000), cyfuniad o elfennau dogfen a ffuglen. Mae criw ffilmio wedi llunio brawddeg neu ddwy i gychwyn stori. Bob tro maen nhw’n cwrdd â phobl maen nhw’n gofyn iddyn nhw barhau â’r stori a dyna sut mae’r ffilm yn cael ei hadeiladu. Disgrifiwyd y ffilm fel “antur mewn llenydda ar y cyd”. Mae Blissfully Yours (2002) yn stori am ddau gwpl, un yn ifanc a’r llall yn hŷn. Roedd y golygfeydd caru yn rhy rywiol i’r sensor ac mae deng munud ar goll o’r fersiwn DVD. Y tu allan i Wlad Thai cafodd y ffilm groeso cynnes. Enillodd chwe gwobr ryngwladol, gan gynnwys un yn yr adran Un Certain Regard yn Ngŵyl Ffilmiau Cannes. Yn 2003 defnyddiodd fideo digidol i wneud The Adventure of Iron Pussy sy’n parodïo ffilmiau masnachol Gwlad Thai. Trawswisgwr yw’r prif gymeriad. Clerc mewn swyddfa yw hi yn ystod y dydd ond mae hefyd yn ysbïwr ar ran y llywodraeth. Bu’r ffilm yn llwyddiannus yng Ngwyl Ffilmiau Berlin a sawl gŵyl ffilm lesbaidd a hoyw. Tropical Malady (2004) oedd ei ffilm nesaf. Yn y rhan gyntaf ceir carwriaeth hoyw rhwng milwr ifanc a phentrefwr. Yn yr ail mae milwr ifanc yn chwilio am bentrefwr sydd ar goll. Yr un yw’r prif actorion yn y ddwy stori ond a ydyn nhw’n portreadu’r un cymeriadau? Roedd yr ymateb gafodd y ffilm yn gymysg iawn. Cerddodd nifer o bobl allan yn Cannes ond disgrifiwyd yr un ffilm fel “un o ffilmiau gorau’r unfed ganrif ar hugain”! Ffilm arall mewn dwy ran yw Syndromes and a Century (2006). Dau ysbyty yw’r cefndir, un yn wledig a chyntefig a’r llall yn ddinesig ac yn fodern. Mynnodd y sensor fod pedair golygfa yn cael eu dileu: meddygon mewn ysbyty yn cusanu’i gilydd, meddygon yn yfed diodydd alcoholig, mynach Bwdaidd yn canu gitâr a mynachod Bwdaidd yn chwarae gyda theganau rheoli-o-bell. Yn 2009 clywodd A.W. hanes Mr Boonmee. Honnai y gallai gofio pob un o’i fywydau blaenorol. Gwnaeth ffilm fer amdano ac yna, yn 2010, gwnaeth y ffilm nodwedd Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives. Mae Uncle Boonmee yn hen a’i iechyd yn dirywio’n gyflym. Mae’n gadael y ddinas i dreulio’r hyn sy’n weddill o’i fywyd yng nghefn gwlad. Yno mae ysbrydion ei wraig a’i fab yn ymweld ag ef. Mae elfennau rhywiol, amlwg yn y ffilm ond y tro hwn bu’r sensor yn fwy rhyddfrydig. Yn wir, mae awdurdodau Gwlad Thai wedi enwebu’r ffilm hon i gystadlu am Oscar y ffilm iaith-dramor orau yn 2011. Bellach mae A.W yn gweithio ar ei brosiect nesaf, Utopia. Bydd yn dilyn hynt a helynt dyn cyntefig yn y cyfnod cyn hanes.

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

Double CL1C card points

Fri 3 — Thu 9 Dec • Gwe 3 — Iau 9 Rhag Thailand/UK/2010/113mins/subtitled/12A. Dir: Apichatpong Weerasethakul. With Thanapat Saisaymar, Jenjira Ponopas, Sakda Kaewbuadee.

Probably the most unexpected and rapturously received Cannes Palme d’Or winner ever, ‘Uncle Boonmee’ is a deeply mysterious story of memories and fantasies which refuses to be reduced to a single style or meaning. Boonmee is a farmer with failing kidneys who comes home to his beehives and tamarind plantation to die. He is soon visited by the ghost of his late wife and by his long-lost son, whose body has changed since he had sex with a monkey spirit. This is another very personal film from Thai director Apichatpong — Boonmee is an amalgam of himself, his late father and a real-life man whose unusual talent for recalling past lives, human and animal, was recorded by a monk. It’s also an idiosyncratic reflection on film history, with each segment echoing the tone and form of a particular kind of cinema — including, of course, the Thai cinema Apichatpong grew up with.

“This is a visionary film in the director’s characteristic style: mysterious, dreamlike, gentle, quiet, magical... offers pleasure and heartbreak in equal measure.” — The Guardian

China/2010/96mins/18/subtitled. Dir: Ho-Cheung Pang. With Josie Ho, Anthony Wong Chau-Sang.

Probably the first horror about the sub-prime mortgage crisis, this enjoyable but violent film tells of Cheng Li-Sheung, a young upwardly mobile professional who’s a frustrated prospective homebuyer. As her attempts to get on the property ladder are thwarted, she soon realises that she will do anything to reduce the price of a Hong Kong apartment she has her eyes on even if it means a healthy dose of murder.

This Prison Where I Live Fri 3 — Thu 9 Dec • Gwe 3 — Iau 9 Rhag UK/Germany/2010/90mins/ctba. Dir: Rex Bloomstein. With Michael Mittermeier, Zarganar.

This is a film about two comedians. Maung Thura [aka Zarganar] is Burma’s greatest living comic and after being relentlessly victimised by the Burmese military junta, he is now in prison for 35 years following an attempt to deliver aid to victims of Cyclone Nargis. In contrast, Michael Mittermeier is free to practise his provocative humour as one of Germany’s leading stand up comedians. When Mittermeier heard of Zarganar’s plight, he travelled secretly to Burma with film-maker Bloomstein to explore the motivation behind the man and document the story of this ‘loudspeaker’ for his people.

This touching and intelligent comedy has been garnering rave reviews for its original script and naturalistic performances. Lesbian couple Jules and Nic have two teenage children, Joni and Laser, both conceived with sperm from the same anonymous donor. When Joni turns eighteen, she tracks down their father who turns out to be the sweet, slightly hapless Paul, and he soon starts to become part of their family. This gem features great performances from Oscarnominee-regulars Moore and Bening as the parents disorientated by Paul’s sudden appearance and powerless to reject him. The screening on Tue 21 Dec will be introduced by Berwyn Rowlands, Director of Iris Prize Film Festival. The screening on Tue 25 Jan will be a Lavender Screen event, Chapter’s lesbian and bi-sexual film club.

The American Fri 10 — Thu 16 Dec • Gwe 10 — Iau 16 Rhag USA/2010/104mins/15. Dir: Anton Corbijn. With George Clooney, Thekla Reuten, Violante Placido.

From the director of Control, this atmospheric suspense thriller has received great praise from audiences and critics alike. After a job ends harshly, Jack retreats to a beautiful mediaeval town in the Italian countryside relishing time away from the constant perils of his life as an assassin. He dabbles with the potential of normality, finding romance in the arms of Clara and friendship with a local priest, but finds himself drawn back into his old life when he accepts an assignment to construct a weapon for a mysterious contact, Mathilde. But things have changed for him and by stepping out of the shadows, Jack is no longer risking his own life but those of the people he now cares for. Join us for our Adaptations book group after the film on Tue 14 Dec to discuss Martin Booth’s novel The American.

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale Fri 17 — Thu 23 Dec • Gwe 17 — Iau 23 Rhag Finland/2010/77mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Jalmari Helander. With Tommi Korpela, Per Christian Ellefsen.

Santa Claus is coming to town, but unfortunately for the children of a small Finnish neighbourhood, spreading seasonal cheer is not at the top of his list. Deep beneath the Korvatunturi Mountains lies the guarded secret of Christmas and when the town’s livestock is slaughtered and the children start to go missing, young local boy Pietari begins to learn the ugly truth about Father Christmas. Originating from two award-winning shorts and an online cult phenomenon, Helander’s debut feature retains their sinister style, while deftly expanding on his unique vision. Part children’s adventure, part macabre seasonal shocker, this film gleefully blends genres to create a darkly humorous concoction that defies categorization.

Frank Capra Classics One of the great directors of American cinema, Frank Capra was one of the first to have his name ‘above the title’, highlighting his total control over his films. His string of films for Columbia in the 1930s lifted the spirits of a depression-ridden America.

USA/1946/128mins/U. Dir: Frank Capra. With James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore.

Martin Vanderhof is the liberated patriarch of an eccentric home, where family and friends only engage in pursuits they find personally rewarding. But a New York tycoon threatens this utopia when he tries to buy up the property to build a factory. Capra’s skill at tweaking the heart-strings as well as the funny bone are displayed beautifully in this film which won two Academy Awards, for Best Director and Best Picture.

One of the best loved films of all time, It’s A Wonderful Life stars James Stewart as George Bailey, whose attempted suicide on Christmas Eve gains the attention of a guardian angel, Clarence Odbody who is sent to help him in his hour of need. Most of the film is told through flashbacks spanning George’s life and narrated by Franklin and Joseph, unseen Angels who are preparing Clarence for his mission to save George.

USA/1932/79mins/U. Dir: Frank Capra. With Pat O’Brien, Walter Huston, Kay Johnson.

It was Frank Capra himself who described this film as “two hours of soggy, 99.44 percent soap opera.” But what did he know? Critics and audiences loved it. Racy, melodramatic and boasting a zesty performance from Hollywood’s new star Barbara Stanwyck, it still resonates nearly 80 years later, dealing with adultery, a single mother’s struggle to build a career, and the damaging sensationalism of the gutter press.

Walter Huston stars as an idealistic bank president who has been making loans to depositors without sufficient collateral. When there’s a run on his bank, his loyal staff rally local businessmen to make more deposits, which moves the directors to keep the bank afloat. Released shortly after Roosevelt’s New Deal, and whole-heartedly espousing its ideals, American Madness provides a timely reminder of the world as it is today.

USA/1939/129mins/U. Dir: Frank Capra. With James Stewart, Jean Arthur, Claude Rains.

USA/1934/105mins/U. Dir: Frank Capra. With Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert.

In one of his best-loved films, Capra shows American democratic ideals in peril, with only the naive and the pure of spirit able to lead the nation back to its principles. This is the film that really launched James Stewart’s career and cemented his screen persona, as he stepped into Gary Cooper’s shoes in a film that was originally intended to be a sequel to Mr Deeds Goes To Town.

Perhaps the original screwball comedy, and the first film to win all five major Academy Awards, It Happened One Night nearly didn’t happen due to little interest in the script and even less from any actors. A spoilt and rebellious heiress is intent on escaping her father’s clutches and dives off his yacht in a bid for freedom. She falls in with a jobless newspaperman who, knowing her true identity and having read the headlines, is intent on exploiting the situation in order to rejuvenate his career.

Mr Deeds Goes To Town Sun 16 + Tue 18 Jan • Sul 16 + Maw 18 Ion USA/1936/115 mins/U. Dir: Frank Capra. With Gary Cooper, Jean Arthur, George Bancroft.

However, the only person who gets close to him is crafty reporter Babe, who poses as a helpless woman to win his affections and get the scoop of a lifetime. This film won Capra an Academy Award for Best Director.

Mr Smith Goes To Washington

Lost Horizon Sun 30 Jan • Sul 30 Ion USA/1937/120mins/U. Dir: Frank Capra. With Ronald Coleman, Jane Wyatt, Edward Everett Horton.

This Oscar winning fantasy is based on the utopian novel by James Hilton. Deep in the Tibetan mountains there is said to lie a place where there is no struggle for existence, no greed, no hate, only a beautiful peace of mind. When a plane crash delivers a group of people to this secluded land of Shangri-La they soon discover that it may not be the utopia they at first believed it to be.

Mammoth Fri 10 — Thu 16 Dec • Gwe 10 — Iau 16 Rhag Sweden/2009/127mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Lukas Moodysson. With Gael Garcia Bernal, Michelle Williams, Marife Necesito.

Swedish director Lukas Moodysson (Lilja 4-ever, Show Me Love) returns with his first English Language film. Leo and Ellen are a successful New York couple totally immersed in their work — he is a web entrepreneur and she is a dedicated emergency surgeon. They have a Filipino nanny to care for their 8 year old daughter and to all appearances they are living the perfect life. However, while on a business trip to Thailand, Leo’s life takes an unplanned turn and he jumps into the fantasy of a radically different life, turning his back on all that he’s held dear. As the family’s lives fall distantly apart and they question their priorities, the nanny also struggles with the fact that she has a stronger relationship with her ward than with her own child.

“Multilingual, impulsive, sprawling... [Moodysson] marries tangible real-life drama with jarring narrative incidents – death, infidelity, child rape – in a way that is both mature and sincere and never unfaithful to his carefully honed nihilistic style.” — Little White Lies

UK/France/2010/105mins/subtitled/U. Dir: Sophie Fiennes.

France/2010/subtitled/ctba. Dir: Michel Gondry. With Michel Gondry, Suzette Gondry, Jean-Yves Gondry.

Bearing witness to German artist Anselm Kiefer’s creative processes, this film is a journey through the personal universe he has built at his studio in the south of France. In 1993 Kiefer left Germany for La Ribaute, a derelict silk factory near Barjac. From 2000 he began constructing a series of elaborate installations there. Like a strange, sprawling village, La Ribaute is composed of old industrial buildings and studios that link to a network of tunnels which run underneath pavilions built to house his work. There are caves and woods, an underground pool, an open landscape of concrete towers and secluded, private spaces. The film immerses you in the world and creative process of one of today’s most significant and inventive artists and gives privileged access to the days before his move to Paris, where he now lives and works.

Mr. Nice Fri 17 — Thu 30 Dec • Gwe 17 — Iau 30 Rhag UK/2010/121mins/18. Dir: Bernard Rose. With Rhys Ifans, Chloë Sevigny and David Thewliss.

Returning following a popular run in October, Bernard Rose’s enjoyable film brings to life the best-selling autobiography of Kenfig Hill’s most famous son, Howard Marks. Mr Nice tells the story of the charismatic drugs smuggler who was at one time Britain’s most wanted man. Linked with MI6, the IRA and the Mafia, he eventually spent 7 years in America’s toughest penitentiary before reinventing himself as a highly popular public raconteur. Rhys Ifans is a thoroughly charming personification of the 1980s’ Public Enemy Number One and while it would be nice to think that crime doesn’t pay, Mr. Nice doesn’t make a convincing case.

Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow

This is a compelling departure from the music video director turned filmmaker who brought us Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind and Be Kind Rewind. Michel Gondry gives us a personal look at his family, focusing on the matriarch, aunt Suzette Gondry, and her relationship with her son, JeanYves. It’s a subtle and sensitive exploration of Suzette’s years as a schoolteacher and her life in rural France.

Sweden/2009/152mins/subtitled/18. Dir: Niels Arden Opley. With Michael Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace, Peter Andersson.

The third and final film adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s best-selling Millennium trilogy begins with dragon-tattooed heroine Lisbeth Salander lying in intensive care with a bullet wound to her head. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed her, and other vulnerable individuals, to suffer abuse and violence. As she returns to health she begins to plot revenge — against the fearsome Zalachenko, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.

In anticipation of the final installment of the Millennium trilogy, we’re bringing back the first two films to get you in the mood. When the head of the powerful Vanger dynasty employs a young journalist and a computer hacker to investigate the possible murder of his niece, the pair link her disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago and begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history.

France/2010/120mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Xavier Beauvois. With Lambert Wilson, Michel Lonsdale.

USA/2010/98mins/15. Dir: Sofia Coppola. With Stephen Dorff, Elle Fanning, Chris Pontius

Based on a true incident, this gripping and provocative drama is set in a North African monastery in the 1990s, where eight French monks live in cordial harmony with the local population. The abbot, Brother Christian, is as much versed in the Koran as in the Bible, giving him an insight into, and respect for, the nation he has chosen to work in. But the country is increasingly in the grip of fundamentalist violence, and the brothers must soon decide whether to stay or leave. A compassionate plea for understanding between cultures, the film muses on the meaning of religious vocation in a violent world, and tackles its subject with non-sensationalist forcefulness.

Sofia Coppola’s subtle story of a Hollywood actor’s existential anxiety was the winner of this year’s Venice film festival’s Golden Lion. Successful but jaded Johnny Marco is holed up in LA recovering from a minor injury and fills his time with pole dancers, pills and partying, but nothing seems to shake his boredom. When his ex-wife leaves their 11 year old daughter in his care, Johnny takes her with him when he goes to Rome to promote his latest movie. Funny and perceptive in its skewering of the absurdities of celebrity lifestyles, it’s also melancholy and tender, managing to elicit our sympathy for Marco even as it reveals his complicity in his predicament.

An Ordinary Execution Fri 7 — Wed 12 Jan • Gwe 7 — Mer 12 Ion France/2010/105mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Marc Dugain. With Andre Dussollier, Marina Hands, Edouard Baer.

As the circumstances around the death of Joseph Stalin still remain a mystery, director Dugain’s debut feature adds an intriguing twist to the historical consensus on the dictator’s demise, based on his own hugely successful novel. Describing an imagined encounter between the ageing Stalin and a young doctor with extraordinary healing abilities who is brought in to treat the dictator after his own doctor has been ‘purged’. As the young woman enters the menacing world of the ranting, suspicious old tyrant there are very real repercussions for her family. Beautifully shot to reflect the grim oppressiveness this is a compelling addition to the examinations of this police state.

On Tour Fri 7 — Thu 13 Jan • Gwe 7 — Iau 13 Ion France/2009/111mins/subtitled/ctba. Dir: Mathieu Amalric. With Mathieu Amalric, Miranda Colclasure, Suzanne Ramsey, Dirty Martini.

Winning the best director at Cannes this year, Amalric (The Diving Bell And The Butterfly, Heartbeat Detective] plays Joachim, a former Parisian television producer who had left everything behind — his children, friends, enemies, lovers and regrets — to start a new life in America. But when he returns it’s with a team of Burlesque strip-tease performers whom he has filled with romantic dreams of a tour of France. Traveling from town to town, despite the cheap hotel rooms and lack of money, the showgirls invent an extravagant fantasy world of warmth and hedonism that wins an enthusiastic response from men and women alike. But their dream of a tour culminating in a last grand show in Paris goes up in smoke when Joachim is betrayed by an old friend and a return to the capital violently reopens the old wounds of his past.

France/Italy/Israel/India/2010/112mins/subtitled/12A. Dir: Julian Schnabel. With Frieda Pinto, Willem Dafoe.

USA/2010/86mins/12A. Dir: Henry Joost. With Ariel Schulman, Yaniv Schulman, Megan Faccio.

Based on Rula Jebreal’s first-hand account of growing up in East Jerusalem, this is the richly textured and deeply moving account of a woman whose personal story is inextricably linked with the political history and social consequences of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Spanning the period from the birth of the State of Israel in 1948 to the brief hope of the Oslo peace agreement in 1994, Miral begins with the setting up of an orphanage and school for Palestinian children. It’s run by Hind Husseini, an inspirational figure who believes education is the only route to peace. After 11 years at the school, and as the first Intifada gathers support, Miral begins to question Hind’s fundamentally non-violent belief.

Full of suspense and revelation, this compassionate documentary focuses on a riveting mystery that is a product of our times, where social networking, mobile devices, and electronic communication so often replace face-to-face personal contact. Filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost document a story involving Ariel’s brother, a 24-year-old photographer, and Abby, from rural Michigan who contacts him asking for permission to make a painting from one of his photographs.

Lemmy Fri 14 — Thu 20 Jan • Gwe 14 — Iau 20 Ion USA/2010/117mins/ctba. Dir: Greg Olliver, Wes Orsoski.

Lemmy Kilmister is 65 this year. A veritable institution and definitive rock god, he still smokes two packs of Marlboros and sinks a bottle of Jack Daniel’s a day, yet does not look remarkably different from how he did when he formed Motorhead in 1975. He’s been declared ‘the greatest living Englishman’, yet has been accused of being a Nazi sympathiser. And, of course, he wrote ‘Ace of Spades’. Let’s face it, Lemmy is such a fascinating gift of a subject, it’s only surprising that it’s taken until now for this documentary about him to be made. He reflects on a life in rock’n’roll, fuelled by drugs, booze and women, with remarkable honesty and roguish humour, and it’s impossible not to be charmed by the man, whatever you think of his music.

The King’s Speech Fri 21 Jan — Thu 3 Feb • Gwe 21 Ion — Iau 3 Chwef UK/Australia/2010/110mins/15. Dir: Tom Hooper. With Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, Geoffrey Rush.

This is the fascinating story of the relationship between the second son of King George V, Prince Albert, and the unconventional Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue, who is employed to cure his nervous stammer. When he unexpectedly inherits the throne on his brother’s abdication to marry Wallis Simpson and must lead the country into war, this suddenly becomes all the more pressing. With strong performances from a list of great British talent including Bonham Carter as Queen Elizabeth, it is Firth and Rush’s performances as sparring partners which brings real humour and poignancy to this unorthodox relationship. There will be a sciSCREEN event on Mon 24 Jan. The screening on Fri 28 Jan will be introduced by Calum Delaney, Head of the Centre for Speech and Language Therapy, UWIC.

When a former Mexican federale is set up by his own police chief and a ruthless crime boss he loses everything he cares about. However, a chance meeting some years later draws him into high level political intrigue with a corrupt senator with ties to his old enemies, but when they try to make him the scapegoat he turns the tables on them and with the help of some strong female fighters, he goes on a rampage of retribution with his weapon of choice, a machete! Coming from the same stable as Robert Rodriquez’s El Mariachi and From Dusk Till Dawn, Machete brings together many of Rodriguez’s favourite elements including witty and enjoyable scripting, revenge through a heavily stylised violence and a host of old and new faces.

127 Hours Fri 28 Jan — Thu 10 Feb • Gwe 28 Ion — Iau 10 Chwef USA/UK/2010/94mins/15. Dir: Danny Boyle. With James Franco, Clemence Poesy, Amber Tamblyn, Kate Mara.

This gripping adventure from the writer/director team that brought us Slumdog Millionaire tells the true story of the headline-grabbing ordeal suffered by American mountain climber Aron Ralston in 2003. When out on a solo climbing trip in Utah’s Blue John canyon, a half-ton boulder crashed down on him, pinning him against the canyon wall in an isolated ravine. Having told no-one of his plans he knows there will be no search party and, over the next five days, Ralston examines his life recalling friends, family and lovers and recording his thoughts on a small video camera. Having exhausted his meagre supplies, he knows he will die unless he takes drastic measures.

Monsters Fri 28 Jan — Thu 3 Feb • Gwe 28 Ion — Iau 3 Chwef UK/2010/94mins/12A. Dir: Gareth Edwards. With Whitney Able, Scoot McNairy.

Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed over Central America on its return home. Soon after, a new life form began to appear and half of Mexico was quarantined as an infected zone. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain ‘the creatures’. Our story begins when a cynical US journalist agrees to escort a shaken tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.

Winter’s Bone Fri 28 Jan — Thu 3 Feb • Gwe 28 Ion — Iau 3 Chwef USA/2010/100mins/15. Dir: Debra Granik. With Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawks, Garret Dillahunt.

Back by popular demand, Winter’s Bone is set in the Ozark mountains of Missouri and Granik (Down to the Bone) presents a backwater America filled with poverty and crime. Ree Dolly is the 17 year old protagonist who’s drug dealer father is missing and has skipped bail, meaning the family will lose their home unless he is found and brought to the local Sherriff — dead or alive. Despite already caring for her younger siblings and frail mother, Ree takes charge to find her father and subsequently comes up against locals who live by a strict code; whatever age, gender or relation you are, if you ask awkward questions, there will be consequences. Based on Daniel Woodrell’s novel and winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, Winter’s Bone is a tense, evocative and powerfully observed drama.
