Welcome

chapter.org

welcome Chapter is an international arts venue known for making things happen. We’re about arts and audiences and creating artistic and social spaces that make a difference to how we think, who we are and what we want to become. We relish change and risk. We love space just to enjoy. We’re a meeting place for ideas, for inspiration, for innovation. We’re also a place where you can sit and chat, feel at home and feel welcome.

Matt Beere Learning + Participation Officer Alongside all of our events, shows and exhibitions, Chapter also runs a busy education programme. Alongside many others, projects at the moment include the delivery of a bespoke filmmaking and film literacy course to young people in Parc Prison (Bridgend), filmmaking workshops for the Neath Port Talbot and Cardiff Youth Offending Intervention Teams, and educational support for the community cinema in the Afan Valley. The ‘Film in Afan’ community cinema film literacy education programme is a 3 year initiative which includes 36 in-school workshops, 36 community workshops and the creation of two inter-generational film academies that will allow young people and their older family relatives to learn together in understanding how films are made, what creative processes are used, and how to talk critically about the films they watch. My job allows me to see every day how Chapter’s reach extends beyond the building, and how our learning, participation and engagement strategy helps to make a real difference in the local communities that we serve. Look out for further updates on our learning and participation work in the next issue of the brochure and on the website www.chapter.org

Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan: A tool for the making of signs Fri 7 Dec — Sun 24 Feb Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan work in collaboration to produce provocative and interrogative works that are often concerned with the mythic potential of art. Utilising sculpture, painting, architecture, performance, literature, institutional critique and curation, the artists re-stage and re-present a vocabulary of images, phrases and forms that are part of a common history to create carefully crafted paths, displacements and diversions. These act as a tool for exploring the world of art — with its own collective mythology of forms, objects and histories. A tool for the making of signs features a number of elements intended to challenge and confound easy interpretation, not least of which is the cartoon motif that appears on the lightbox and exhibition leaflet. In the Gallery, a large-scale structure positions itself awkwardly in relation to the Chapter architecture, creating an improbable physical and conceptual disjunction. The structure adopts the symbol of the ‘dragon’ which, presented as it is in Tatham and O’Sullivan’s stylisation, provokes particular resonances for Welsh national identity and yet nevertheless retains the potential for more primal and multiple meanings. The structure operates as both analogy and counterpoint to the inclusion in the exhibition of two works by painter and modernist poet David Jones. By integrating his works into the structure itself, the artists ask us to consider how contemporary artists look back to previous artistic practices and incorporate this interest as part of a current discourse. Brief Biography Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan have worked collaboratively since 1995. Recent solo projects and exhibitions include Studio Voltaire, London (2012); Collective Gallery (offsite), Edinburgh (2011) and Tramway, Glasgow (both 2011); CCA, Glasgow (2010); La Salle de Bains (2009) and). They are represented by The Modern Institute/ Toby Webster, Glasgow; Galerie Francesca Pia, Zurich and Campoli Presti, London/Paris.

Sioned Huws: Aomori Project 2013 Residency: Mon 25 Mar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fri 12 Apr Work-in-progress showing: Sat 13 Apr 6.30pm With dancers Reina Kimura, Elena Jacinta and Agnese Lanza

In March /April the Gallery and Theatre at Chapter have teamed up to offer a unique residency to Sioned Huws who will work in the Gallery with a number of dancers to develop her ongoing Aomori Project. Aomori Project was started in 2008 in response to the Arctic conditions of Northern Japan. Since this time it has existed in various forms, developing with a wide range of artists and performers. Each year a new narrative is formally composed and adapted to diverse casts, contexts and architecture. In this next stage, Aomori Project will further explore the complexity of structure and the relationship between the horizontal and the vertical. Through constructing systems that allow each performer to phase in and out of different compositional time frames, Aomori Project aims at a juxtaposition of organised systems, balanced on a fine line between order and chaos, being and nothingness. Research and Development for Aomori Project is supported by the Arts Council of Wales.

Art In The Bar Thomas Goddard Fri 11 Jan — Sun 10 Mar Thomas Goddard works in a wide range of media including drawing, animation, print, performance, and socially engaged work. His recent practice explores the relationship between the individual and society, the role of misinformation through the media and its effects on contemporary culture through the power of suggestibility and attribution. Works detailing apathy, disaffection, paradoxical beliefs, power, resistance, history, future, excess and anxiety are created in relation to the obsessive repetition in a modern world where possibilities and choices are seemingly endless. For full biography see www.chapter.org www.ohmygodtom.com www.cerbyd.org www.beatenblackblueredgreengold.tumblr.com www.beastofbala.com

Catherine Angle Programme Officer — Visual and Live Arts The Gallery programme at Chapter has always been a great inspiration for me. When I was studying in Swansea I would often makes trips to Cardiff to make sure I caught the latest exhibitions. Now, I’m delighted to tell people I work here. I’m really looking forward to the new Art in the Bar installation by artist Tom Goddard whose detailed drawings document every year of civilisation from 1898 to 1999 in a dark but comic manner.

Deborah Light: HIDE

Public Recordings Canada in association with Dance4 and Chapter

Thu 21 — Sat 23 Feb 8pm (+ Thu 21 Feb 6pm) Hide¹ vb to keep out of sight; conceal from view. n a shelter for watching wildlife. Hide² n the skin of an animal. Award winning choreographer Deborah Light, brings together a cast of three remarkable dance artists Rosalind Hâf Brooks, Jo Fong and Eddie Ladd. With design by Neil Davies and sound by Sion Orgon. They form, transform and reform. We watch. Are they showing themselves? Or are they doing a show? HIDE deals with notions of appearance and disappearance. It delves beneath the outer shell, revealing internal worlds, and exposing the multiplicity of human nature. The performers re-invent themselves through layers of movement, image, sound and text. £12/£10/£8 www.deborahlight.com

The Most Together We’ve Ever Been Thu 7 Mar 8pm

A never-ending series of beginnings. A constant hello. We address the address and the need for something to happen, while embracing the emptiness of never getting anywhere. Let’s imagine for a moment that we dwell here forever, constantly becoming, never arriving. The performers might be characters, or perhaps just people playing the performance. They are not quite at home, and not quite displaced — finding themselves over and over again on a stage, in a performance, in front of an audience. They tiptoe on and off the stage as if they might go unnoticed. Yet this action makes them oddly conspicuous and more of what they are. The right people in the wrong space; the wrong people in the right space. The Most Together We’ve Even Been is a duet created and performed by Ame Henderson (Canada) and Matija Ferlin (Croatia). The project was developed in residency at Tanz Quartier Vienna and INK-Pula (Istrian National Theatre) in Croatia and was co-produced by Public Recordings and Ferlin. Ferlin and Henderson unpick the choreographic possibilities of the act of entering a space or stage. At times beguiling, comic, and earnest, the piece is danced in a highly (but subtly so) physical manner with a score that seems more like performance than traditional dance, but is fundamentally a choreographic work. Throughout the performers are attenuated to the presence of each other and the audience as they explore the dramatic tensions of two bodies and two friends coming and going. £12/£10/£8

The evening will feature live music, wine and frivolity to accompany the reading. Come one, come many. Free www.deoprava.com

The sublime cello music of Bach and Britten meets the magic of Czech Wonder Tales in this inspiring evening of storytelling and music for adults, featuring Katy Cawkwell and cellist Sarah Llewellyn-Jones. Together they have created a visually brilliant piece of musical storytelling — join a restless king, a talking horse, the woman from the apple orchard and the youngest son of twelve on an unforgettable journey, towards The Kingdom of the Heart. £10/£8 www.beyond theborder.com www.adversecamber.org/new-tour-the-kingdom-of-theheart

Newsoundwales + Iris Prize Festival present: Bright Light Bright Light + Golden Fable Fri 22 Feb 7.30pm Bright Light Bright Light last appeared at Chapter in 2010 and since then have released a highly acclaimed album “Make Me Believe in Hope” which was short listed for the Welsh Music Prize in 2012. They have subsequently toured with the Scissor Sisters, and Elton John went so far as to describe them as one of the hottest acts in the UK at the moment. £10/£8 Tickets available in advance from www.wegottickets.com/event/198844

Cardiff-born Johnny Revive has led a chequered life. He rose from managing punk rock bands in the late seventies to running his own film company in the late eighties — when Mrs Thatcher singled him out as a role model for young entrepreneurs. Maybe she didn’t know that his success was founded on blackmail and fraud. Or maybe she did — hey, it was the eighties! Pride came before a fall and Johnny left the UK one step ahead of the law. Now, after twenty years living in the Joshua Tree desert, Johnny’s back to share his life lessons with the people of his hometown. John Williams, co-founder of the Laugharne Weekend and author of The Cardiff Trilogy, is, like most writers, more of an observer than a performer. But now he’s decided to improvise a novel live on stage. That’s not the kind of thing John Williams does. So he’ll be bringing along his new alter ego, Johnny Revive, to lend a helping hand. £8/£6 (part of Double Booked offer — see page 17)

Consolation Night: Kraftwerk Fri 1 Mar 8pm For the disappointed multitudes who weren’t able to obtain tickets for Kraftwerk’s shows at the Tate Modern in February, here’s a consolation: a night of Kraftwerk songs interpreted and performed live by a roster of different ensembles.

Formed in 2000 when bassist Jim Barr and drummer Clive Deamer from Portishead joined forces with the twin horns & electronics of saxophonist Jake McMurchie and trumpeter Pete Judge, GTB have forged a unique signature sound that defies easy classification, yet never loses sight of thumping tunes, monstrously infectious beats, or joyous collective spontaneity. £10 (part of Double Booked offer — see right) + Look out for more great jazz at Chapter in the run up to the Brecon Jazz Festival in August.

Bullhead Fri 1 — Thu 7 Feb

Les Miserables Fri 25 Jan — Thu 7 Feb UK/2012/152mins/12A Dir: Tom Hooper. With Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried.

Jean Valjean, a Frenchman imprisoned for stealing bread, has broken his parole and must flee from police Inspector Javert. The pursuit consumes both men’s lives, and after two decades on the run, Valjean finds himself as the mayor of a small French town in the midst of the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris. Hooper [The King’s Speech, The Damned United] has brought this well-loved musical and novel to the screen with a star studded ensemble cast. Nominated for Best Picture Oscar 2013

Life Of Pi Fri 1 — Thu 14 Feb US/2012/127mins/PG Dir: Ang Lee. With: Suraj Sharma, Gerard Depardieu, Tobey Maguire, Irrfan Khan and Tabu.

Academy Award Winning Director Ang Lee brings Yann Martel’s Man Booker Prize winning novel to the screen to dazzling effect. Pi Patel is the son of a zoo keeper who lives in Pondicherry, India. His family decide to move to Canada on account of financial hardship and so hitch a ride upon a freighter with rare and valuable animals in tow. On its travels their boat encounters a severe storm and Pi is left shipwrecked; alone on a lifeboat with an orang-utan, hyena, wounded zebra and Bengal tiger — all fighting for survival. Ang Lee orchestrates Life of Pi into a cohesive movie-going experience that has something for audiences of all ages; not least its stunning presentation, with visual effects that will boggle the mind. Nominated for Best Picture Oscar 2013

Belgium/2012/124mins/ctba Dir: Michael R Roskam. With Matthias Schoenaerts, Jeroen Perceval.

This is a harrowing tale of revenge, redemption and fate. Domineering cattle farmer Jacky Vanmarsenille, constantly pumped on steroids and hormones, initiates a shady deal with a notorious mafioso meat trader. When an investigating federal agent is assassinated and a woman from his traumatic past resurfaces, Jacky must confront his demons and face the far-reaching consequences of his decisions.

McCullin Fri 1 — Thu 7 Feb UK/2012/91mins/15 Dir: David Morris, Jacqui Morris.

Don McCullin is one of the legendary names in photo journalism, particularly for his indelible gutwrenching war photos, but also for his work on humanitarian crises such as the famine in Biafra. McCullin’s harrowing images drawn from headlines and conflicts around the world earned him both many awards, but also the disapproval of governments around the world as he sought to expose the atrocities that frequently followed in the wake of armed conflicts. This moving documentary, covering McCullin’s entire career, is not for the easily shocked, but while the images themselves are haunting, it is the lengthy interview with the man himself which makes for the most moving viewing. + Come Along Do, Sun 3 Feb Chaired by Gill Nicol, this post-screening event takes McCullin as the starting point for an in-depth and lively discussion exploring art and film. £2.50 (Places are limited so please book early.

Wadjda

Saudi Arabia/Germany/2012/97mins/subtitles/ctba. Dir: Haifaa Al Mansour. With: Reem Abdullah, Waad Mohammed, Abdullrahman Al Gohani.

Lit up by an utterly disarming central performance, this is a hugely appealing, heartfelt gem that will give you a rare glimpse into everyday Saudi society. Smart, strong-willed, tomboy Wadjda is often in trouble as she chafes at her life’s restrictions, but she’ll stop at nothing to earn the money to buy a bike. To shoot a film in a country where cinemas themselves have been banned for over thirty years is some kind of achievement for any director. When that filmmaker also happens to be a woman, in a country where it is illegal for women to drive, let alone direct, is all the more impressive.

Mama Africa

Finland/South Africa/2011/90mins/15 Dir: Mika Kaurismaki With: Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Harry Belafonte.

A hugely enjoyable and informative celebration of the life of the charismatic musical icon, Miriam Makeba, exiled South African singer and radical anti-apartheid activist who travelled the world with her message of hope for Africa. She was exiled from South Africa for 27 years for singing on a film critical of the apartheid regime. She moved to New York where she mixed with the stars, was taken under Harry Belafonte’s wing, spoke at the UN urging a boycott of South Africa and became a leading figure in the anti-apartheid movement and part of the wider black consciousness struggle marrying both Hugh Masekela and Stokely Carmichael. She was the first artist to popularise South African music around the world. “I do not sing politics, I merely sing the truth.”. Boycotted in the US after her marriage to Carmichael, she moved to Guinea, eventually returning to South Africa at Nelson Mandela’s personal request. Some great singing, a real flavour of the Pan-African liberation struggle of the 70s, her personal tragedies — this film is a great portrait and real eye-opener.

The Sun-Beaten Path

Tibet/2011/89mins/subtitles/PG Dir: Sonthar Gyal With: Yeshe Lhadruk, Lo Kyi.

With vast, desolate landscapes and often dream-like sequences, this cinematic gem is a really authentic portrait of contemporary Tibet. Walking home to a remote part of Tibet through barren mountains and dusty wind-swept plains, the troubled Nyma is joined by an old man whose gently persistent good sense allows Nyma to gradually unburden himself. A simple tale, elliptically told, that really shows how Tibet is now with smart Chinese buses speeding past Tibetan couples prostrating themselves on the hard shoulder all the way to Lhasa.

Viva Cuba

Cuba/2005/79mins/subtitles/PG Dir: Juan Carlos Cremata. With: Malu Tarrau Broche, Jorgito Milo Avila, Larisa Vega Alamar.

A charming, amusing look at modern day Cuba through the eyes of two young children, Malu and Jorgito who travel the length of the island determined to find Malu’s father. Malu’s mum is a religious snob who forbids her from playing with Jorgito, the son of poor but proud socialists. Jorgito’s infuriated mother reciprocates in kind, but neither parent realises the immense strength of the bond between the two. This makes great use of Cuba’s gorgeous scenery and elicits winning performances from the two kids whose spontaneous rapport transcends family, social and political differences as they discover the many delights of the island on their quest. Winner of Best Children’s Film Prize Cannes Film Festival 2005 + Director Juan Carlos Cremata will be present for a Q&A after the screening in Aberystwyth that will be simultaneously Skyped to Chapter so that the audience in Cardiff can also take part

The Village at The End of the World

Greenland/2012/78mins/subtitles/PG Dir: Sarah Gavron With: Lars the teenager, Karl the Hunter, Ilanngauq, Annie the elder.

Village life is hugely cooperative and magical things happen in Niaqornat, a remote hamlet in the far north of Greenland, home to 59 people and 100 dogs. Frank, intimate conversations with Lars, the hip-hop Man Utd loving teen in search of love on Facebook; Karl, the huntsman who hopes to reopen the fish factory as a coop, Ilanngauq, the outsider and Annie, the elder who remembers the ways of the Shaman, are interspersed with fabulous images of the seasonal changes of the ice and snow. This gives an optimistic glimpse of how the villagers are adapting to the impact of climate change and the forces of globalization on their ‘disappearing life’.

Post Tenebras Lux

Mexico/France/Germany/Netherlands/2012/120mins/ subtitles/18 Dir: Carlos Reygadas. With: Adolfo Jiménez Castro, Nathalia Acevedo, Willebaldo Torres.

A beautiful, bewildering new film from one of the world’s great directors, this requires each viewer to find their own way through the stories that unfold and to experience it all with the fresh eyes of a child. At the centre of its non-linear plot are Juan and Natalia, a bickering middle-class couple with two adorable toddlers (Reygadas’ own). These tender, touching ‘home movies’ of meal times and parties showing the domestic nature of everyday life are interspersed with odd, more dramatic scenes with various local characters. Like a domestic David Lynch, Reygadas is a true original who links his experimental narrative approach to arresting imagery to create dreamlike films that are both apparently simple and deeply perplexing. Winner of Best Director at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival

War Witch

From top: Wadjda, Viva Cuba, Mama Africa, War Witch

Canada/2012/90mins/subtitles/15 Dir: Kim Nguyen. With: Rachel Mwanza, Alain Bastien, Serge Kanyinda.

This is a beautiful, powerful fairytale about love, the like of which you’ve never seen before. Komona, a child soldier in the Congo, tells her extraordinary life story to her unborn child. How she was abducted, became a sorceress and fell in love with an albino. A story about war and finding inner peace that has been labeled ‘too tough a sell’, but which audiences all over the world have embraced. A film with many facets, and an amazing performance from an amateur actress that is so moving and surprising that it is not easily forgotten.

Talk: Dickens and Crime Mon 4 Feb With Adrian Wootton.

As we approach the 201st Birthday of novelist Charles Dickens there’s an increasing recognition that his work not only had a significant influence on the creation of cinematic language, but also profoundly shaped the development of popular genres, particularly those of crime and detective fiction. In his illustrated talk, Adrian Wootton (CEO of Film London and co-Director of Dickens 2012) investigates Dickens’ own fascination with crime — including his reporting and commentaries on criminal law, penal reform, and the development of modern policing — and his incorporation of the detective genre into his work, which led him to a collaboration with Wilkie Collins, the “Father of the Detective Novel.” The talk, (liberally interspersed with film/tv clips and slides) will also examine how filmmakers have treated the crime elements in Dickens’ work, and how his novels contributed to the evolution of the modern crime thriller and film noir.

The Last Days Of Dolwyn

Valley Of Song

Sun 3 + Tue 5 Feb

Sun 10 + Tue 12 Feb

UK/1949/95mins/U. Dir: Emlyn Wiliams. With: Richard Burton, Emlyn Williams, Edith Evans.

UK/1953/80mins/U. Dir: Gilbert Gunn. With: Mervyn Johns, Clifford Evans, Maureen Swanson.

Based on a true story, this is the story of a man who was exiled as a thief from his village but later returns from London for revenge. He plans to buy the entire district up as part of a water reservoir project but an old woman and her stepson stand in his way. Revenge, murder, desperation and love all intertwine in this moving account. Richard Burton shines in his first screen role, having been a stage actor prior to his stint in the Royal Air Force as a navigator during WWII.

When Handel’s Messiah is chosen as the choir’s showcase piece, fierce rivalries flare to the surface in a small Welsh town over a coveted role in the local choir. The Lloyd and the Davies families squabble over who should be the contralto and crooning nearly leads to physical violence, until the entire Welsh village has been polarized for or against the concertmaster’s decision. With a lovely performance from Rachel Thomas as miffed housewife Mrs Lloyd and featuring the debut of Rachel Roberts as Bessie the Milk.

+ Short: Tryweryn, the story of a valley, 1965 “This tiny village of seventy four souls is under sentence of death …. Shortly the chapel and its burial ground will be no more, and the unhurried rural life will be ended.” Thus speaks the narrator of this edited version of a moving film made by the staff and boys of Friars School, Bangor, about one of the 20th century’s most emotive and politically controversial events in Wales — the flooding of the Tryweryn river valley, which drowned the village of Capel Celyn, near Bala, to provide water for the people and industries of Liverpool.

Burton: Y Gyfrinach? [The Secret] Fri 8 + Sat 9 Mar Wales/2011/76mins/12A/Welsh with English subtitles. Dir: Dylan Richards. With Richard Harrington, Dafydd Hywel.

A provocative drama that considers what might have occurred at a pivotal moment in the life of ‘60s superstar Richard Burton. Dylan Richards’ intimate two-hander captures Burton and his elder brother, Ifor Jenkins, in the aftermath of a Swiss funeral. For Burton it was the chance to re-connect with the revered father figure who had become estranged following his love affair with Cleopatra co-star Elizabeth Taylor. For Jenkins it was a moment to reflect on the past and look ahead to the future. The awkward, booze-fuelled reunion was to climax in a shattering accident that left Ifor paralysed from the neck down.

+ Short: Samba Paloma, 1998 In Welsh it’s called ‘cythrel canu’ — the competitive singing urge that can bring out the worst in this nation of peace-lovers! And it’s not only humans who succumb, as demonstrated in this animation short by Gerald Conn and Chris Elliott, which presents a group of disgruntled pigeons improvising their own instruments to compete with a human Samba group in The Hayes, Cardiff. Made as part of the Cardiff International Animation Festival, and shown at Cinekids Festival, Guggenheim Museum, New York.

Proud Valley Sun 17 + Tue 19 Feb UK/1940/76mins/PG. Dir: Pen Tennyson. With: Paul Robeson, Rachel Thomas, Edward Chapman.

Paul Robeson heads the cast as David, a black stoker seeking work in the coal mines of Wales. He finds an ally in the form of miner Dick Parry, who is less interested in David’s capacity for work than he is in the newcomer’s robust baritone. It seems that Parry is in charge of the local miner’s choir, and he hopes to win the national singing meet on the strength of David’s vocal chords. An unexpected disaster not only puts an end to this dream, but also threatens to financially wipe out Parry, his family and all his friends. It is David who comes to everyone’s rescue with a spectacular, near-messianic act of selfsacrifice. + Short: Songs of the Coalfields — The Best Little Doorboy, 1957 The NCB’s Mining Review cine-magazine series, which ran from 1947 to 1983, brought news and stories from Britain’s coalfield communities to cinema-goers everywhere. The edition Mining Review 9 Tenth Year — Stories from Denbighshire / Northumberland / Nottinghamshire – finishes with this rendition by a singer, guitarist and concertina player of “a nineteenth century ballad from the Welsh Valleys, set to a traditional tune”. The accompanying images show boys at work and rest on the colliery surface – hauling loads, watching the lamp man at work, examining a caged canary, eating their sandwiches…

chapter.org

In June 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor host the King and Queen of England for a weekend at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park on Hudson, in upstate New York — the first-ever visit of a reigning English monarch to America. With Britain facing imminent war with Germany, the Royals are desperately looking to FDR for support. But international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR’s domestic establishment, as wife, mother, and mistresses all conspire to make the royal weekend an unforgettable one. Seen through the eyes of Daisy Franklin’s neighbour and intimate, the weekend will produce not only a special relationship between two great nations, but, for Daisy — and through her, for us all — a deeper understanding of the mysteries of love and friendship. + Chapter & Darkened Rooms present Bill Murray Night

This is a terrific tense account of a young Irish public school boy who makes one terrible mistake which will change his life forever. Richard is a middle-class rugby player destined for great things until a moment’s thoughtless violence turns him from star pupil to guilt-wracked outsider. As pressure mounts to turn himself in, his parents and friends close ranks to hide him, but guilt eats away at his conscience. It’s a beautifully calibrated, understated, perfectly pitched work which doesn’t waste a single shot.

In Uganda, a new bill threatens to make homosexuality punishable by death. David Kato – Uganda’s first openly gay man – and his fellow activists work against the clock to defeat the legislation while combating vicious persecution. In this brave and enthralling documentary, Lavender Screen celebrates LGBT History Month in association with The National Museum of Wales to bring you this timely reminder of how the LGBT community in Uganda is fighting for the right to love and to live. + Lavender Screen post-film discussion led by a speaker from Museum Wales, as part of LBGT History Month

Each year the inmates of Rome’s high security Rebibbia prison, incarcerated mostly for Mafia related crimes, put on a play. The veteran Taviani brothers follow the rehearsals and performance of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, a play where the conspiracies and betrayals echo the past and present lives of the prisoners. The actors become prisoners once again as they are accompanied back to their cells. As one of the prisoner-turned-actors remarks toward the end of the film, “Since I discovered art, this cell has become a prison”. A highly enjoyable film by the legendary directors of Padre Padrone.

Lore Fri 8 — Thu 14 Mar Germany/2012/109mins/subtitles/15 Dir: Cate Shortland. With Saskia Rosendahl.

This sensual and complex coming-of-age story explores the tribulations faced by Germany’s young people in the wake of World War II. When their Schutzstaffel parents are taken into Allied custody, five siblings are left to fend for themselves, with teenaged Lore taking charge of the journey to join their grandmother in Hamburg 500 miles away. The children encounter a populace suffering from postwar denial and deprivation, and for the first time are exposed to the reality and consequences of their parents’ actions. With food hard to come by, and the journey becoming ever more arduous, the family meets Thomas, a young Jewish survivor who helps them negotiate their way towards their final destination.

+ SciSCREEN returns with a post screening panel on Wed 20 Mar. Please reserve a free place through the Box Office. Tickets for the film must be purchased separately. www.cardiffsciscreen.blogspot.com

Beyond The Hills

Fri 22 — Thu 28 Mar

Fri 29 Mar — Thu 4 Apr

Japan/2011/128mins/subtitled/12A. Dir: Hirokazu Koreeda.

Romania/2012/150 mins/ctba Dir: Cristian Mungiu. With Cosmina Stratan, Cristina Flutur, Valeriu Andriuţă.

Beyond The Hills

When two young brothers find themselves at opposite ends of one of Japan’s largest landmasses, divided by their parents’ separation, they cook up an almost mystical solution. They agree to trek to the point where two speeding Bullet Trains will pass for a split second, believing that if they make the same wish, their desire for reunification will be granted. Kore-eda delivers an utterly engaging, emotionally complex portrait of family life in contemporary Japan all seen through the prism of the pitch perfect young boys.

Shell Fri 29 Mar — Thu 4 Apr UK/2012/90mins/15 Dir: Scott Graham. With Chloe Pirrie, Joseph Mawle.

One of Screen International’s UK Stars of Tomorrow, Scottish director Scott Graham makes his feature debut with Shell; a truly exceptional coming-of-age drama that explores the relationship between a father and daughter in the remote Scottish Highlands. Shell (Chloe Pirrie) runs an isolated petrol station with her father, Pete (Joseph Mawle). Aside from the few regulars who utilise their outpost (including the excellent Michael Smiley), Shell and Pete have almost no contact with the outside world and as such are mutually dependent on one another for basic human needs; needs that become increasingly disturbing and seemingly inescapable.

Two young women, Alina and Voichita grew up in an orphanage together, where a strong bond developed between them. When Alina left Romania to attempt to make a life for herself in Germany, Voichita became a novice nun at an Orthodox church in an isolated mountainous region of the country. Alina needs her friend’s help with documentation, but is also desperate to stay with the only person she has ever loved, expecting Voichita to leave the church and return with her to Germany. Yet Voichita, surrounded by women with unquestioning faith in a community run by a deeply conservative priest, has found such a devout calling that choosing between the love of Alina and the love of God proves to be an agonising experience. Based on real events, the latest drama from Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days) is a matchless, intensely affecting love story that cements his reputation as one of world cinema’s modern masters.
