Welcome
Welcome to your guide to all that’s in store for January. This month sees the awarding of the prestigious Artes Mundi prize. The exhibition of work by shortlisted artists continues here at Chapter and at The National Museum and Ffotogallery until 22 February. If you’ve enjoyed the exhibition so far, and would like to know more about the work and its context come along to one of our Talks at 2 at our gallery (11 + 24 Jan 2pm) (p7) which are free to attend and delivered by our fantastic live guides. Why not blow the winter cobwebs away with some fantastic live music? Our theatre is set for a month of gigs, with performances by Kizzy Crawford, local heroes Cakehole Presley and the pioneer of Welsh language Rock music, Geraint Jarman (p12). Over in our cinema we are looking forward to some fantastic events alongside our regular films, including the screening of Manic Street Preachers documentary No Manifesto, with a Q&A with the directors (p23) and a season of films that delve into the impact of conflict (p18–19). Plus it’s the last month of our fabulous Sci-Fi season (p26-27). If there are aspiring young directors in your household, take a look at our Young Persons Film Academy on page 15, which aims to encourage the next crop of filmmakers.

Karen Mirza and Brad Butler, You Are the Prime Minister (neon sign) 2014, Installation, neon sign, 220x12cm. courtesy Waterside Contemporary, London. Image: Warren Orchard
Until Sun 22 Feb 2015
We are delighted to be working with Artes Mundi to present work by Karen Mirza and Brad Butler (UK), Renzo Martens (The Netherlands) and Sharon Lockhart (USA). Works by the other Artes Mundi 6 shortlisted artists can be seen at National Museum Cardiff and Ffotogallery, Penarth. For details about all of the shortlisted artists and opening times at other venues please visit www.artesmundi.org The winning artist will be announced on Thu 22 January, keep an eye on social media and the Artes Mundi website for the result!
Karen Mirza and Brad Butler Renzo Martens and the Gallery and Art in the Bar Institute for Human Mirza and Butler have worked together since 1998, developing a layered practice that consists of film, Activities installation, performance, publishing and curating. Their work challenges terms such as participation, collaboration and the traditional roles of the artist as producer and the audience as recipient. For Artes Mundi 6, Mirza and Butler present The Unreliable Narrator, a constellation of works that take advantage of the gap between fiction and reality. In You are the Prime Minister, a prominent neon becomes an empowering invitation to take up the title role in a fantasy fiction. A video installation also speaks of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, alternately from a position of the terrorists and of a seemingly impartial commentator.
Lightbox and Theatre Foyer Renzo Martens lives and works in Brussels and Kinshasa and is known for his disturbing documentaries in which he travels to war-torn countries and places himself at the centre of the action, demonstrating how Western spectators consume distant trauma. Martens presents Episode III: Enjoy Poverty in which he visits the ruined Congo, interviewing photographers, plantation owners and locals; acting the role of Western journalist, colonist, missionary and aid worker. His film focuses on one observation: poverty is Africa’s biggest export, and as with other natural resources, it is exploited by the Western world through the media. He lectures locals about poverty as a commodity and encourages them to sell their own photographs of starvation and death rather than let Western journalists profit from their humanitarian disaster. Exhibition open: Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday 12–6pm; Thursday & Friday 12–8pm; closed Monday

Sharon Lockhart Gallery Sharon Lockhart works with individuals and groups to make still and moving images that are both visually compelling and socially engaged. One of Lockhart’s major works is Lunch Break (2008) which features 42 shipyard workers as they take their midday break. Over the course of the lunch break we see workers engaged in a wide range of activities — reading, sleeping, and talking — in addition to actually eating their midday meal. For Artes Mundi 6, Lockhart shows one of two films from Lunch Break entitled Exit. Filmed over a five-day working week, each of the five takes that comprise Exit shows the long progression of workers leaving the Bath Iron Works at the end of their shift. Reminiscent of Louis Lumiere’s film, Leaving the Lumiere Factory, Exit emphasises the flow of time and the nuances of daily experience.

Richer Sounds loan technical equipment to Chapter which has allowed us to upgrade the facilities in our hire spaces and in the front of house areas. The screens by box office allow us to show clips of upcoming shows as well as promotions and information on performance timings, while the screens in the hires spaces can be connected to laptops for use in presentations. The relationship has developed over the years with Richer Sounds now also providing audio equipment for offsite activity such as the recent Bafta screening of Dr Who at the National Museum and for films linked to our Sci-Fi season at castles across South Wales. It is a highly mutually beneficial relationship; Richer Sounds enjoy widespread crediting throughout the Chapter building and the local store on Cowbridge Road East has reported an increase in footfall in its local stores as a direct result of the association with Chapter.

France/2014/220mins/ctba. Dir: Claude Lanzmann.
Documentarian Laura Poltras, the first journalist to be contacted by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, sets herself the daunting task of attempting to map pervasive global surveillance and the shadowy, fugitive figure of Snowden and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Taking its title from Snowden’s pseudonym in communication with her, this is a taut and fearless exploration of the notion of privacy in an increasingly compromising digital age.
The Internet’s Own Boy Mon 12 Jan USA/2014/103mins/12A. Dir: Brian Knappenberger.
Aaron Schwartz, who took his own life at the age of 26, was a programming prodigy and hacktivist whose fingerprints are all over the internet from RSS to Reddit. He faced jail time for downloading and distributing academic journals. Knappenberger constructs an unflinching and touching portrait of an idealistic young man who saw open access to information as a basic human right.
We Are the Giant Tue 13 + Thu 15 Jan UK/2014/90mins/15. Dir: Greg Barker.
Since late 2010, more than a dozen nations have experienced popular uprisings that have collectively been called the Arab Spring. Protests, buoyed by predominantly young participants and social-media organizing, have exposed repression and led to regime changes. What does it mean to take part in a collective action that has the potential to unseat dictators and bring previously undreamed-of freedoms to a people? + Join us after both screenings for a discussion led by artist and activist Rabab Ghazoul and lecturers from Cardiff University.
During 1975 Claude Lanzmann filmed a series of interviews with Benjamin Murmelstein, the last President of the Jewish Council in the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia. A rabbi in Vienna, following the annexation of Austria by Germany in 1938, Murmelstein fought bitterly with Adolf Eichmann, week after week for seven years, managing to help around 121,000 Jews leave the country, and preventing the liquidation of the ghetto. Now Lanzmann goes back to the town to revisit the tapes and shed light on the origins of the Final Solution in this powerful documentary. + Introduction from the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust
Testament of Youth Fri 30 Jan — Thu 5 Feb UK/2014/130mins/12A. Dir: James Kent. With: Alicia Vikander, Hayley Atwell, Dominic West, Kit Harington.

Based on the true story of Walter Keane, who earned staggering notoriety by revolutionizing the commercialization and accessibility of popular art with his enigmatic paintings of waifs with big eyes.

USA/2014/115mins/15. Dir: Jean-Marc Vallée. With: Reese Witherspoon, Gaby Hoffmann, Laura Dern.
Explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific Ocean in a balsawood raft in 1947 in an epic 101-day-long journey, together with five men, to prove that South Americans back in pre-Columbian times could have crossed the ocean and settled on Polynesian islands. Despite academics believing it to be a suicide mission the trip was filmed by Heyerdahl, winning him a documentary Oscar in 1951. This stunning story of adventure and the thirst for knowledge is a thrilling ride.
With the end of her marriage and the death of her mother, Cheryl Strayed has lost all hope and spirals into some dangerous habits. She makes the rash decision to hike the 1100-mile Pacific Crest trail alone, with absolutely no experience, driven only by sheer determination. Powerfully capturing the terrors and pleasures of a real-life experience this is a kinetic, beautifully shot film.

Maria finds herself caught between two worlds — her ordinary teenage life at school and the church. Home life with her family follows a traditionalist interpretation of Catholicism; everything she thinks and does must be examined before God. Conflicts intensify as arguments erupt with teachers and doctors. Desperate to please everyone, Maria soon finds herself trapped in the crossfire. A stylised story of devotion with sublime performances.
Riggan is an actor famous for portraying an iconic superhero, past his prime and now seeking redemption on Broadway. In the days leading up to opening night, he battles his ego and attempts to recover his family, his career, and himself. Shot in long, unbroken takes, this is a playful film of inventive cinematography and a deftly-handled think piece on celebrity from Inarritu, the grandest director of the Mexican new wave.

We follow teenager Mary as she hangs out with her best friend, swooning over a boy and taking photographs of her friends for her yearbook. Based on the tweets of Thai teenager @marylony this is a filmic experiment that attempts to embody the 140-character observations, aspirations and inanities of the post-millennial identity, told with an imaginative eye and a light touch. Please see p18–19 for our season on the internet’s creation of a new wave of protest.

No Manifesto: Manic Street Preachers

+ Live score performance by Jason Singh Tue 20 Jan UK/1929/49mins/no cert. Dir: John Grierson.
Vocal sculptor, Jason Singh performs a live vocal score to John Grierson's monumental silent film, a response to the avant-garde Modernist movement of rhythmic juxtaposition of images. Premiering alongside Battleship Potemkin in 1929, Drifters follows North Sea herring fisherman through their dramatic daily routines as well as their underlying struggles between tradition, modernity, technology, the environment and nature. Singh’s score is a totally unique performance which combines live vocal sound effects, voice manipulation, beatboxing and live sampling with one of the most significant works in British film history.
