Wed 21 — Sun 25 Nov
Mercher 21 — Sul 25 Tachwedd
Experimentica is a vibrant annual showcase for performance and interdisciplinary projects across installation, film, video, sound art, dance and theatre. This year we are presenting a range of exciting works that in some way consider the notion of the ‘UNSEEN’: the challenging; the experimental; the genre defining.
Mae Experimentica yn arddangosfa fywiog flynyddol o brosiectau rhyngddisgyblaethol a pherfformiadau sy’n cynnwys gwaith ffilm, gosodiadau, celfyddyd fideo, sain, dawns a theatr. Eleni, rydym yn cyflwyno amrywiaeth o weithiau cyffrous sy’n ymwneud mewn gwahanol ffyrdd â’r syniad o fod yn ‘anweledig’: gweithiau heriol, arbrofol, sy’n diffinio'u genres.
UNSEEN is not a theme for the Festival, more a catalyst for ideas and an opportunity to explore the often hidden or ignored — the spaces between and on the edge. The programme — that this year takes place across our gallery, theatre, cinemas, lightbox, studios and public spaces — is also supported by a packed season of films in the cinema to celebrate 100 years of the BBFC, and a collaborative programme of events as part of Artes Mundi 5.
Nid thema ar gyfer yr ŵyl yw’r teitl ‘anweledig’; y mae'n fwy o gatalydd ar gyfer syniadau ac yn gyfle i archwilio mannau cudd, neu fannau a gaiff eu hanwybyddu fel arfer — y tir canol, y tir ar y ffin. Mae’r rhaglen — sy’n cael ei chyflwyno eleni yn ein horiel, ein theatr, ein sinemâu, y blwch golau, y stiwdios a’r mannau cyhoeddus — yn cael ei hategu gan dymor bywiog o ffilmiau yn y sinema i ddathlu 100 mlynedd o fodolaeth y BBFC, a rhaglen gydweithredol o ddigwyddiadau yn rhan o Artes Mundi 5.

PHIL BABOT: PLANE GALLERY, 6PM AND THROUGHOUT FESTIVAL Phil Babot is interested in the aesthetics of Zen in the process of shaping and examining the relationship between an individual and space, particularly architectural space.

Chapter Mewn mytholeg, ac mewn astudiaethau o lên gwerin a chrefydd, mae’r castiwr yn dduw, yn dduwies, yn ysbryd, neu’n ddyn, menyw neu anifail anthropomorffig sy’n chwarae triciau neu’n gwrthod rheolau arferol ac ymddygiad confensiynol. Ar gyfer Experimentica, mae Richard Higlett yn edrych ar rôl y castiwr. Mae hynny’n fan cychwyn ar gyfer cyfres o ymyriadau sy’n codi cwestiynau ynglŷn â’r prosesau sy’n cysylltu’r cyhoedd â gweithgareddau sy’n cael eu diffinio fel rhai ‘celfyddydol’. www.richardhiglett.com

THURSDAY 22 NOVEMBER GOOD COP BAD COP V CLEVERBOT: IN CONVERSATION STIWDIO, 2-8PM Operating as a ‘tag-team’, good cop bad cop will engage cleverbot — an artificial intelligence web app — in a six-hour orgy of conversation; constructing and disrupting narratives; working to deliberately exploit its unpredictability.

CHRISTOPH DETTMEIER: RIDE ‘EM JEWBOY
CATHY GORDON: MOLES DANCING
MEDIA POINT, 8.30PM
THEATRE, 2-5PM AND 7-9PM Blindness is scary. In blindness we are lost: disoriented, unknowing. Moles Dancing is both a private encounter and a public extension of this ‘not knowing’. Visitors are invited to engage in a one-to-one exchange: slip on a pair of headphones, don a blindfold, and stumble into the mole hole for a clumsy encounter. Limited capacity. www.cathygordon.com
In 1972 Kinky Friedman wrote a song entitled Ride ‘em Jewboy. In it, he employed the conventions of the country ballad but included lines that framed the mythical notion of freedom and the lonesome cowboy, by the inescapable facts of the Holocaust. In Dettmeier’s version he sings alongside Friedman’s soundtrack and is immersed in the shadows of a slide projection of sites in Berlin that were significant to both Jewish life and Nazi rule, creating an authentic and haunting sense of mourning. Limited capacity.
SGWRS RHWNG GOOD COP BAD COP A CLEVERBOT
MEDDWL AM YN ÔL: TOOTH & CLAWR
STIWDIO, 2-8pm
YSTAFELL GYFFREDIN, 4pm
Yn gweithio fel ‘tîm-tag’, bydd good cop bad cop yn ymwneud â cleverbot — ap deallusrwydd artiffisial ar-lein — am chwe awr gwyllt o sgwrsio, creu a dinistrio naratifau, ac yn mynd ati’n fwriadol i fanteisio ar natur anrhagweladwy'r ap. Gydag ffraethineb arferol eu perfformiadau arbrofol, byddant yn gweithio gydag ac yn erbyn y gwrthwynebydd, ar ystod eang o bynciau.
Tooth & Clawr yw ein grŵp darllen rheolaidd dan arweiniad artistiaid. Nod y grŵp yw hyrwyddo cysylltiadau beirniadol a thrafodaethau am ein rhaglen artistig trwy gyfrwng darllen. Dewisir testunau — damcaniaethol, ffuglennol ac ymylol — er mwyn tynnu sylw at wahanol agweddau ar raglen artistig Experimentica a Chapter.

PHIL COLLINS: MARXISM TODAY A USE! VALUE! EXCHANGE! & SESIWN HOLI-AC-ATEB
CATHY GORDON: MOLES DANCING THEATR, 2-5PM A 7-9PM Mae dallineb yn frawychus. Rydym ar goll heb y gallu i weld — yn colli syniad o gyfeiriad a thir cadarn. Mae Moles Dancing yn ddehongliad preifat ac estyniad cyhoeddus o’r cyflwr diwybod hwn. Caiff ymwelwyr eu gwahodd i gymryd rhan mewn proses un-i-un: gwisgwch bâr o glustffonau a mwgwd, a baglwch i mewn i dwll du i weld beth sy’n eich disgwyl.

SINEMA, 6PM Gweler tudalen Artes Mundi am fwy o fanylion.
CHRISTOPH DETTMEIER: RIDE ‘EM JEWBOY PWYNT CYFRYNGOL, 8.30PM Ym 1972, cyfansoddodd Kinky Friedman gân o’r enw Ride ‘em Jewboy. Ynddi, defnyddiodd gonfensiynau baledi canu gwlad — syniadau chwedlonol am ryddid a’r cowboi unig — ond cynhwysodd hefyd linellau a oedd yn fframio’r gân yn hanes diymwad yr Holocost. Mae Dettmeier, yn ei fersiwn ef, yn canu gyda thrac sain Friedman o flaen tafluniadau o ddelweddau o safleoedd yn Berlin a oedd yn bwysig i Iddewon a’r Natsïaid, ac yn creu teimlad dilys ac ingol o alar. Dylid archebu tocynnau ymlaen llaw. www.christoph-dettmeier.de
Clockwise from top-left / Gyda’r cloc o’r chwith uchaf: Zierle & Carter, Into the Distance; Christoph Dettmeier, Ride ‘Em Jewboy, 2009; Phil Collins, marxism today (prologue), 2010
FRIDAY 23 NOVEMBER ZIERLE & CARTER: INTO THE DISTANCE CITY CENTRE, CARDIFF, 9AM-6PM The work of Zierle & Carter critically examines different modes of communication and what it means to be human, addressing notions of belonging, the dynamics within relationships and the transformation of limitations. Into the Distance is anchored in an exploration of the intangible, invisible, the unseen, the personal and the collective. Directly challenging ‘acceptable’ modes of intimacy the work hopes to open up a dialogue around the notion of exchange. www.zierlecarterliveart.com
AMBER MOTTRAM: POTHOLES CARDIFF GUIDED TOUR FRIDAY 23, 11AM Mundane or at best annoying, potholes are more of an absence than a landmark. Amber Mottram has transformed these overlooked absences into destinations along a mapped trail. Join Amber for a guided tour around her Pothole Cardiff trail — culminating in a private view of the monuments in Arcade Cardiff, Queen’s Arcade. www.arcadecardiff.co.uk
BACKWARDS THINKING: TOOTH & CLAWR MEDIA POINT, 2PM Tooth & Clawr reading group aims to promote critical engagement with and debate around the Experimentica programme, through reading. Texts — theoretical, fictional and tangential — are selected to draw out different aspects of the work on show.
CHARLIE TWEED: THE MEADOW CINEMA, 3PM In The Meadow, the voice of components — organic and inorganic material, metals, effluent and various forms of electronic waste — is heard. It appears to come from a vast and complex site, a future vision of excess that is very much alive, where all forms of material have been disposed of, forgotten and abandoned. The vitality of this rotting and merging material both above and below the surface is voiced, as it looks at implementing its own way of thinking and own conditions for life where materials constantly merge and mutate as they explore how a new post-human agency of things and matter can be realised. www.charlietweed.com
Gwener 23 Tachwedd TOM MARSHMAN: WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT BAMBI — WORK IN PROGRESS COMMON ROOM, 4PM Tom Marshman presents and performs news ideas and reflections on his current work in progress. Exploring a number of themes through the filter of Disney’s classic film, Bambi — mother-son love (and loss); fatherson relationships; the process of growing up, making friends and finding romantic love; Man Vs Nature — Marshman weaves new narratives through both visuals and storytelling. Delving into movement research, Tom touches upon the idea of a human-deer hybrid, of physical vulnerability and gender stereotypes. Limited capacity. www.tommarshman.com
MAMORU IRIGUCHI: PROJECTOR / CONJECTOR STIWDIO, 6PM Projector / Conjector is a multimedia performance featuring two key characters: Projector, a boy with a video projector attached to his head; and Conjector, a girl with a TV attached to her head. Projector projects bigger-than-life images all around him. Conjector, on the other hand, captures what lingers in the air and displays it on a television screen. Moved by the moving image, the two characters meet; fall in love and part through the digitally generated imagery. www.iriguchi.co.uk
THE STRANGE NAMES COLLECTIVE: PROLOGUE THEATRE, 9PM Under the gaze of humanity’s successors, Prologue seeks the connections between Coal Miners’ Canaries, Car Crashes, Recurring Dreams, The Human Appendix, Shark Attacks, Liberache, the Portuguese Man of War and Little Orphan Annie. Through a use of footnotes, personal asides, images, movement, film and sound The Strange Names Collective present a constantly digressing, bittersweet exploration of the twinned notions of the future and potential. www.strangenamescollective.co.uk
THE COLLECT: LOOKING ACROSS TO SPACE COMMON ROOM, 11PM A man sits alone fruitlessly untangling wires. He persists whilst three voices speak simultaneously: their tones and rhythms intertwine in a manner that mimics the slow unravelling. There is sublimity to the mess; the tangle of threads and the murmur of voices suggest both the struggle of the creative collaborative process, and the glorious energy of doing and being together. Limited capacity. www.thecollect.org
ZIERLE & CARTER: INTO THE DISTANCE CANOL Y DINAS, CAERDYDD, 9AM-6PM Mae gwaith Zierle a Carter yn archwilio dulliau gwahanol o gyfathrebu a’r hyn yw bod yn ddynol. Mae’n mynd i’r afael â syniadau o berthyn, y ddeinameg oddi mewn i berthnasau ac yn ceisio trawsnewid cyfyngiadau. Mae Into the Distance yn archwiliad o’r anniriaethol, yr anweledig, y personol a’r cyfunol. Yn her uniongyrchol i agosatrwydd ‘derbyniol’, mae’r gwaith yn ceisio deialog â’r syniad o gyfnewid. www.zierlecarterliveart.com
AMBER MOTTRAM: POTHOLES CARDIFF TAITH DYWYSEDIG Gwener 23, 11AM Mae tyllau yn y ffordd yn bethau cyffredin, yn tueddu i flino dyn, ac yn dynodi absenoldeb. Mae Amber Mottram wedi trawsnewid yr absenoldebau hyn yn gyrchfannau ac wedi eu mapio’n drywydd. Ymunwch ag Amber am daith dywysedig o gwmpas y tyllau yn heolydd Caerdydd — a fydd yn dod i uchafbwynt gyda golwg breifat o’r cofebion yn Arcêd y Frenhines, Caerdydd. www.arcadecardiff.co.uk
MEDDWL AM YN ÔL: TOOTH & CLAWR YSTAFELL GYFFREDIN, 2PM Nod grŵp darllen Tooth and Clawr yw hyrwyddo ymgysylltiad beirniadol a thrafodaethau’n deillio o raglen Experimentica trwy gyfrwng ddarllen. Dewisir testunau — damcaniaethol, ffuglennol ac ymylol — i dynnu sylw at wahanol agweddau o’r gwaith sydd i’w weld yn yr ŵyl.
CHARLIE TWEED: THE MEADOW SINEMA, 3PM Yn The Meadow clywn leisiau deunyddiau organig ac anorganig, metelau, elifiant a gwahanol fathau o wastraff electronig. Mae’r gwaith fel petai'n deillio o ofod eang a chymhleth, gweledigaeth fyw o ddyfodol yn llawn o ormodedd, lle mae deunyddiau o bob math wedi cael eu gwaredu, eu anghofio a’u gadael. Rhoir llais i fywioldeb y deunyddiau hyn uwchlaw ac islaw'r arwyneb. Mae’r gwaith yn ceisio rhoi ar waith ffordd o feddwl ac amodau ar gyfer bywyd lle mae deunyddiau’n uno ac yn trawsnewid, gan geisio awgrymu cyd-destun ôl-ddynol newydd ar gyfer mater. www.charlietweed.com
TOM MARSHMAN: WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT BAMBI — GWAITH AR Y GWEILL PWYNT CYFRYNGOL, 4PM Mae Tom Marshman yn cyflwyno ac yn perfformio syniadau newydd a myfyrdodau o waith sydd ganddo ar y gweill. Mae’n archwilio nifer o themâu yng nghyd-destun ffilm glasurol Disney, Bambi: cariad (a cholled) mab a mam; perthynas tad a mab, y broses o dyfu i fyny, cyfeillgarwch a serch, Dyn yn erbyn Natur. Mae Marshman yn gwau naratifau newydd trwy gyfrwng deunydd gweledol a thechnegau adrodd straeon. Wrth dreiddio i waith ymchwil ym maes symudiad, mae Tom yn cyffwrdd ar syniadau am yr hybrid dyn-carw, gwendid corfforol a stereoteipiau rhyw. Dylid archebu tocynnau ymlaen llaw. www.tommarshman.com
MAMORU IRIGUCHI: PROJECTOR / CONJECTOR STIWDIO, 6PM Mae Projector / Conjector yn berfformiad amlgyfryngol sy’n cynnwys dau gymeriad allweddol: Projector, bachgen â thaflunydd fideo yn sownd i’w ben, a Conjector, merch y mae ganddi set deledu wedi’i glynu i’w phen hithau. Mae Projector yn taflunio delweddau mawrion o’i gwmpas ymhobman. Mae Conjector, ar y llaw arall, yn tynnu pethau o’r awyr ac yn eu harddangos ar ei sgrin deledu. Wedi’u symud gan y ddelwedd symudol, mae’r ddau gymeriad yn cyfarfod, yn syrthio mewn cariad ac yn gwahanu trwy gyfrwng y delweddau digidol a gynhyrchir. www.iriguchi.co.uk
THE STRANGE NAMES COLLECTIVE: PROLOGUE THEATR, 9PM
Yng ngolwg olynwyr dynoliaeth, mae Prologue yn chwilio am y cysylltiadau rhwng caneris glowyr, damweiniau car, breuddwydion cylchol, y pendics dynol, ymosodiadau siarcod, Liberace, chwysigod môr (Portuguese Men of War) a’r ferch fach amddifad, Annie. Trwy ddefnydd o droednodiadau, neillebau personol, delweddau, symudiad, ffilm a sain, mae The Strange Names Collective yn cyflwyno archwiliad crwydrol a chwerw-felys o’r syniad o ddyfodol a photensial. www.strangenamescollective.co.uk
THE COLLECT: LOOKING ACROSS TO SPACE YSTAFELL GYFFREDIN, 11PM Mae dyn yn eistedd ar ei ben ei hun yn ceisio datod gwifrau croes. Ar yr un pryd, mae tri llais yn siarad dros ei gilydd: mae eu tonau a’u rhythmau’n cydblethu mewn modd nid annhebyg i’r weithred o ddatod clymau. Mae yna rywbeth aruchel yn y llanastr; mae’r gwifrau croes a murmur y lleisiau yn awgrym o’r frwydr sydd ynghlwm â phrosesau creadigol cydweithredol ac egni gogoneddus bodoli a chreu gyda'n gilydd. Dylid archebu tocynnau ymlaen llaw. www.thecollect.org

Limited capacity. www.joostnieuwenburg.nl/
RANDOM PEOPLE: MOONLIGHTERS’ UNION CAFFI BAR, 10PM Moonlighting relies on factors that can no longer be taken for granted: the idea of ‘regular employment’ and the possibility of a clear distinction between labour and leisure. Without the reference of a fixed job, we are all moonlighters. Moonlighters’ Union aims to introduce the concept of ‘get-paid-as-you-wish’ and by considering the value of an activity outside of, but in relation to, established notions of what constitutes work or labour. The Moonlighters’ Union will hold a late-night assembly and offer a cash-budget to fund activities that people think they should get paid for in the future. www.random-people.net

RANDOM PEOPLE: MOONLIGHTERS’ UNION CAFFI BAR, 10PM Mae gweithio mewn swyddi ychwanegol, answyddogol — ‘moonlighting’ — yn dibynnu ar ffactorau na ellir eu cymryd yn ganiataol mwyach: y syniad o ‘swydd ddibynadwy’ a’r posibilrwydd o wahaniaethu’n glir rhwng gwaith a hamdden. Heb y statws a ddaw yn sgil swydd sefydlog, rydym i gyd, i ryw raddau, yn gweithio fel ‘moonlighters’. Nod y Moonlighters’ Union yw cyflwyno’r cysyniad o ‘gael-eich-talu-fel-y-dymunwch’ ac ystyried hefyd werth gweithgareddau unigol ar y cyd ac ar wahân hefyd i syniadau sefydledig o’r hyn yw gwaith neu lafur.

SUNDAY 25 NOVEMBER BACKWARDS THINKING Q&A
RICHARD BOWERS: CEREMONY
MEDIA POINT, 12 NOON
STIWDIO, 6PM
Kathryn Ashill and Samuel Hasler host a Backwards Thinking Q&A connecting artists to audiences and audiences to artists.
Richard Bowers and the Sound of Aircraft Attacking Britain present Ceremony: a Hymn to the Night, an electronic-song-ritual featuring experimental folk singer Caroline Pugh. Against modified footage from a salvaged print of the 1940 Academy Awards ceremony, Pugh sings whilst Vivien Leigh delivers her acceptance speech for winning Best Actress for the role of Scarlet O’Hara in Gone with the Wind. Other speeches are stripped of referential content and forged into a collage of emotional mantras that, in league with the performer’s wordless Hymn to the Night, recasts the ceremony as religious rite.
VERTICAL CINEMA Cinema, 12.30pm and 2pm Two international programmes of experimental films presented by the Cardiff-based collective. Curated by December Lab, an artist-run, notfor-profit organisation to support, promote and develop artists’ moving image these two, 45 minute selections of work feature Edwin Rostron, Christopher P McManus, Yoshi Sodeka, Liam Rogers, Chris King, Idroema, Sean Vicary, Frederique Santune, Stephanie Wuertz, Holly Genevieve, Toby Tatum, Wrightoid, Alberto Cabrera Bernal and Sabrina Ratte. decemberlab.wordpress.com
DELAINE LE BAS WITH DAMIAN JAMES LE BAS: DIKOMENGO TAN COMMON ROOM, 5PM Featuring spoken word and film, Romany artist Delaine Le Bas’ work explores the experience of intolerance, misrepresentation, transitional displacement and homelessness that continue to be a daily experience for many in the world.
www.richardbowers.co.uk
AARON WILLIAMSon: HEADS AT THE WINDOWS Y LLOFFT, 8PM
Aaron’s work is inspired by his experience of becoming deaf and by a politicised, yet humorous sensibility towards disability. Mostly as for Experimentica he devises unique performances and videos that are created on-site immediately prior to their public presentation. A constant theme is to challenge and subvert the romantic valorisation of social ‘outsiderness’ and thus portrays himself in performances and videos in the guise of shamshamans, pretend-primitives, hoax-hermits, fake feral children, charlatan saints and dubious monsters. www.aaronwilliamson.org
MEDDWL AM YN ÔL: SESIWN HOLI-AC-ATEB PWYNT CYFRYNGOL, CANOL DYDD Bydd Kathryn Ashill a Samuel Hasler yn cynnal sesiwn holi-ac-ateb Meddwl Am Yn Ôl i gysylltu artistiaid â chynulleidfaoedd a chynulleidfaoedd ag artistiaid.
VERTICAL CINEMA Sinema, 12.30pm a 2pm Rhaglen o ffilmiau arbrofol rhyngwladol wedi’i chyflwyno gan y grŵp o Gaerdydd. Wedi’i churadu gan December Lab, sefydliad di-elw i artistiaid, sy’n gyfrifol am gefnogi, hyrwyddo a datblygu artistiaid y ddelwedd symudol, mae’r detholiad 45-munud hwn yn cynnwys gweithiau gan Edwin Rostron, Christopher P McManus, Yoshi Sodeka, Liam Rogers, Chris King, Idroema, Sean Vicary, Frederique Santune, Stephanie Wuertz, Holly Genevieve, Toby Tatum, Wrightoid, Alberto Cabrera Bernal a Sabrina Ratte. decemberlab.wordpress.com
DELAINE LE BAS GYDA DAMIAN JAMES LE BAS: DIKOMENGO TAN PWYNT CYFRYNGOL, 8PM Gan ddefnyddio technegau llefaru a ffilm, mae gwaith Delaine Le Bas yn archwilio profiadau o anoddefgarwch, camliwio, dadleoliad a digartrefedd — pethau sy’n dal i fod yn rhan o brofiadau dyddiol pobl ym mhedwar ban byd.
RICHARD BOWERS: CEREMONY STIWDIO, 6PM Bydd Richard Bowers a Sound of Aircraft Attacking Britain yn cyflwyno Ceremony: a Hymn to the Night, defod gerddorol electronig gyda’r canwr gwerin arbrofol, Caroline Pugh. O flaen cefnlen o ddeunydd ffilm wedi’i brosesu, delweddau o Seremoni Wobrau’r Academi ym 1940, mae Pugh yn canu wrth i Vivien Leigh dderbyn Oscar yr Actores Orau am ei phortread o Scarlet O’Hara yn Gone with the Wind. Caiff unrhyw gynnwys cyd-destunol ei dynnu o areithiau eraill ac fe ffurfir y cyfan yn collage o mantras emosiynol sydd, ar y cyd ag emyn o fawl di-eiriau y perfformiwr i’r nos, yn ailgyflwyno’r seremoni fel defod grefyddol. www.richardbowers.co.uk
AARON WILLIAMSON: HEADS AT THE WINDOWS Y LLOFFT, 8PM
Mae gwaith Aaron wedi’i ysbrydoli gan ei brofiad o golli’i glyw a chan agwedd wleidyddol, lawn hiwmor hefyd, at anabledd. Yn ei waith yn gyffredinol, fel yn ei ddarn ar gyfer Experimentica, mae e’n dyfeisio perfformiadau a fideos unigryw yn y fan a’r lle, yn union cyn iddyn nhw gael eu cyflwyno’n gyhoeddus. Mae herio a gwyrdroi syniadau o ramantu arwahanrwydd cymdeithasol yn thema bwysig yn ei waith. Yn aml, mae’n ei gyflwyno’i hun fel siaman, sant, meudwy, plentyn fferal neu anghenfil er mwyn dadwneud cynodiadau ‘delfrydol’ y cymeriadau hyn. www.aaronwilliamson.org

Sul 18 & Maw 20
SHOCK CORRIDOR PLUS Q&A WITH THE BBFC’S CRAIG LAPPER Sat 17 USA/1963/101 mins. Directed by Samuel Fuller. With Peter Breck.
Shock Corridor is the aptly named 1963 B-movie psychodrama from American film auteur Samuel Fuller. Filled with a number of taboos — a burlesque musical number, a brutal attack by a gang of cannibalistic nymphomaniacs, the suggestions of incest and the mandatory electroshock sequence — Shock Corridor is a piece that allows an audience to question society and morality.
SICK: THE LIFE & DEATH OF BOB FLANAGAN, SUPERMASOCHIST Sun 25 & Tues 27 USA/1997/92mins/18. Dir: Kirby Dick.
Kirby Dick documented the proud life and lifestyle of cystic fibrosis sufferer Bob Flanagan, the LA writer, performance artist, comic and BDSM celebrity who remained an advocate of the liberating power of consensual S&M throughout his terminal illness.
CAPE FEAR
USA/1990/144mins/15. Dir: Stanley Kubrick. With Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers.
Beautifully restored version of Kubrick’s truly tense and chilling horror about a young family who take on the care of a closed resort hotel high in the Colorado mountains during the long winter, only to find that their son’s imaginary friend ‘Tony’ knows a few secrets about how the previous occupants came to a sticky end. Double bill ticket price £12/£10 with Room 237
5 BROKEN CAMERAS Fri 23 — WED 28 Dir: Emad Burnat, Guy Davidi. Palestine/90mins/2012/NC
Filmed from the perspective of Palestinian farm labourer Emad Burnat, this documentary was shot using six different video cameras – five of which were destroyed in the process of documenting Emad’s family’s life as well as Palestinian and International resistance to Israeli appropriation of land and occupation.
ROOM 237: BEING AN INQUIRY INTO THE SHINING IN 9 PARTS FRI 23 — Thur 29 USA/2012/102mins/15. Dir: Rodney Ascher.
The Shining may be over thirty years old but as the legendarily fastidious auteur left virtually nothing to chance while designing his films it continues to inspire debate, speculation, and mystery. Double bill ticket price £12/£10 with The Shining
SHOCK CORRIDOR A SESIWN HOLIAC-ATEB CRAIG LAPPER O’R BBFC Sad 17 UDA/1963/101 mun. Cyfarwyddwyd gan Samuel Fuller. Gyda Peter Breck.
‘Shock Corridor’ yw teitl hynod addas y ffilm B a’r seicoddrama a gwblhawyd ym 1963 gan yr auteur Americanaidd, Samuel Fuller. Yn llawn o bynciau tabŵ — canu bwrlesg, ymosodiad creulon gan griw o nymffomaniaid canibalaidd, awgrymiadau o losgach a thriniaeth sioc drydanol orfodol — mae Shock Corridor yn ddarn sy’n gofyn i gynulleidfaoedd gwestiynu cymdeithas a moesoldeb.
SICK: THE LIFE & DEATH OF BOB FLANAGAN, SUPERMASOCHIST
Ar ôl cael ei garcharu am wyth mlynedd am dreisio ac ymosod, caiff Max Cady ei ryddhau ac mae e’n mynd yn syth at ei erlynydd, Sam Bowden, i ddial arno am y blynyddoedd a dreuliodd y tu ôl i fariau. Mae Cady yn bygwth ac yn codi ofn ar y cyfreithiwr a’i deulu ond yn aros o fewn terfynau’r gyfraith — tan i Sam sylweddoli beth yw gwir fwriadau Cady a llwyddo, yn y pen draw, i droi’r drol. Arweiniodd y ffilm hon at feirniadaeth anarferol o’r Bwrdd Dosbarthu — eu bod nhw’n rhy llym. ‘161 Cuts In One Film’ oedd pennawd y Daily Express.
THE SHINING Gwe 23 — Sul 25 UDA/1990/144mun/15 Cyf: Stanley Kubrick. Gyda Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers.
Print newydd sy’n adfer ffilm wirioneddol arswydus Kubrick i’w llawn ogoniant. Mae’r gwaith yn adrodd hanes teulu ifanc sy’n cymryd yr awenau mewn gwesty caeedig ym mynyddoedd Colorado dros aeaf hir ac oer. Maen nhw’n dysgu bod ‘Tony’, cyfaill dychmygol eu mab, yn gwybod ambell i gyfrinach am y trigolion blaenorol. Pris tocyn dwbl — The Shining a Room 237 — £12/£10
Sul 18 & Maw 20
5 BROKEN CAMERAS
UDA/1997/92mun/18. Cyf: Kirby Dick.
Gwe 23 — MER 28
Aeth Kirby Dick ati i ddogfennu balchder Bob Flanagan yn ei fywyd a’i ffordd o fyw. Roedd Flanagan yn awdur ac artist perfformio ac yn enwog am ei hoffter o BDSM. Roedd hefyd yn dioddef o ffibrosis systig ac yn gredwr cryf yng ngrym rhyddhaol S&M drwy gydol cyfnod hir ei salwch.
Sun 18 & Tues 20 USA/1962/106mins/15. Dir: J L Thompson. With Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Polly Bergen, Lori Martin.
After an eight-year prison term for rape and assault Max Cady is set free, making a beeline to prosecutor Sam Bowden to ‘pay him back’ for his years behind bars. Cady stays within the law in his meticulous campaign of terror until Sam realises his true intension and ultimately turns the tables. This violent thriller put the Board in the unusual position of being vilified by the tabloids for being too stringent: ‘161 Cuts In One Film’ declared an outraged Daily Express.
UDA/1962/106mun/15 Cyf: J L Thompson. Gyda Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Polly Bergen, Lori Martin.
Cyf: Emad Burnat, Guy Davidi. Palesteina/90mun/2012/DimTyst
Wedi’i ffilmio o safbwynt gweithiwr fferm Palesteinaidd, Emad Burnat, cafodd y ffilm ddogfen hon ei saethu gyda chwe chamera fideo gwahanol. Cafodd pump o’r rhain eu dinistrio yn ystod y broses o gofnodi bywyd teuluol Emad a gwrthwynebiad y Palesteiniaid a’r gymuned ryngwladol i bolisi Israel o feddiannu ac anheddu.

Llun 26 — Iau 29 UDA/2012/102mun/15. Cyf: Rodney Ascher.
Mae The Shining yn 30 mlwydd oed ond, am fod Kubrick wedi ystyried yn ofalus bob manylyn unigol yn ei ffilm eiconig, mae’r gwaith yn dal i esgor ar drafodaethau brwd, dyfalu a dirgelwch. Pris tocyn dwbl — The Shining a Room 237 — £12/£10

ARTES MUNDI 1X1X1: ONE ARTIST, ONE DAY, ONE FILM
Outside At Chapter Outside Chapter’s entrance two second–hand caravans are hosting the UK premiere of This Unfortunate Thing Between Us. First performed in September 2011 in a theatre in the centre of Berlin and broadcast live on German digital television, TUTBU TV is an alternative home shopping channel selling real life experiences at promotional prices in place of mass produced commodities. Hosted by a cast of actors and porn workers, and featuring a soundtrack by Wales’ own Gruff Rhys and Y Niwl, This Unfortunate Thing Between Us adopts the format of teleshopping, with pitches, demonstrations and live phone– ins, providing a tantalising glimpse into what could be the future of consumer television. So kick back with a cuppa, cwtch up around the telly with pals old and new, to the patter of rain on the roof and only one channel working: TUTBU TV — more experience isn’t possible!
Phil Collins: Commission On The Lightbox Friday 9 November — Tuesday 4 December As part of TUTBU TV, and to coincide with Experimentica 2012, Phil Collins has been commissioned to produce a new artwork for Chapter’s lightbox,that will form a dramatic backdrop to the TUTBU caravans.

MIRIAM BÄCKSTRÖM: MOTHERFUCKER IN THE THEATRE Wednesday 28, 7pm and 9pm Motherfucker explores the complex roles, positions and perspectives within a relationship. A female director asks a male actor to forge a character whom she wants to meet in order to be able to leave. As the drama unfolds, so does the shifting control and dependencies. The performance is mixed with live video feed, creating a paradox between the real and mediated video that is simultaneously being projected. This event is ticketed at £10 (£5) concs. Booking essential.
Miriam BÄckstrÖm: Kira Carpelan In The Cinema Wednesday 21, 3pm This film tells the story of Miriam Bäckström’s year-long collaboration with the artist Kira Carpelan.

MIRIAM BÄCKSTRÖM: MOTHERFUCKER YN Y THEATR Mercher 28 Tachwedd, 7pm a 9pm Mae Motherfucker yn archwilio’r rolau, y swyddogaethau a’r safbwyntiau cymhleth sydd yn bodoli oddi mewn i berthynas. Mae cyfarwyddwr benywaidd yn gofyn i actor gwrywaidd greu cymeriad y byddai hi eisiau cwrdd ag ef er mwyn gallu ei adael. Wrth i’r ddrama ddatblygu, felly hefyd syniadau o reolaeth a dibyniaeth. Ategir y perfformiad gan lif fideo byw, sy’n creu paradocs rhwng yr hyn sy’n real a’r hyn a gyflwynir ar y fideo. Pris tocyn ar gyfer y digwyddiad hwn £10 (£5 gost.) Dylid archebu ymlaen llaw.
