Welcome
Hello and welcome to your guide to all that’s in store this June. This month sees the end of the Richard Woods exhibition, Inclosure Acts. Referencing the historic acts which forever changed the British countryside, Woods has brought the outdoors inside, transforming the Gallery, Lightbox and Art in the Bar spaces with bold and playful colours and motifs. Catch this popular exhibition until Sunday 14 June (p4-5). Theatr Iolo presents Christopher Brett Bailey’s visceral and darkly comic This Is How We Die (p11) whilst the stage is set for Wales Dance Platform (p9), which brings dance from around Wales to Chapter, Wales Millennium Centre and The Riverfront for one exhilarating weekend. Over in our cinema, we’ll be enjoying a selection of films hand-picked by Martin Scorsese that celebrate the best of Polish cinema (p22) including recent gem Ida (p18). Having won the Oscar for best foreign film earlier this year, this is the tale of a young devout woman who takes a whirlwind tour of life before taking her vows to become a nun. And we’ll be enjoying hotly anticipated new releases Queen and Country (p19) and The Look of Silence (p18) as we continue our thought-provoking season of films that explore the impact of conflict. Thanks for reading and see you soon.

Richard Woods: Inclosure Acts Until Sun 14 June In through the outdoor Power lines and borders are exquisitely drawn, printed and sculpted with both a light touch and heavy hand by artist Richard Woods in his solo exhibition. The title, Inclosure Acts, itself draws a line or creates a barrier between the present day and the past. Inclosure is the old formal spelling of the word now more usually spelled ‘enclosure’. The Inclosure Acts of Parliament enclosed previously open fields, creating legal property rights and higher rents for land that was once considered common. Woods’ work for Chapter has created a number of similar divisions throughout the building, to highlight various borders between the haves and the havenots, interiors and exteriors and for social interactions. The Lightbox commission, which dominates the exterior of the building, provides clues to the Gallery interior. Green is a hard colour to work with, but the associations here veer from emeralds to rural Greenfield, from a modern fluorescence to the green, green grass of local parks. Woods’ repetitive patterns become almost oppressive on this scale, yet their decorative allure invites you to get smashed on their
bejewelled rocks. The pattern, inspired by Victorian tiles, seeps into the exhibition space where it becomes a floor. There’s a relief it is beneath your feet, just about under control, rather than hanging over your head. Placed upon this hand printed wooden flooring are a series of ad-hoc constructions that resemble impromptu, improvised kissing gates or stiles, a common sight in rural areas and a method of allowing human access whilst restricting the movement of livestock. The untreated timber structures welcome tired elbows; they almost need two or more people to lean on them, or across them, chewing the fat or local gossip. They feel like the most social of sculptures, real participatory art for the public. These sculptures are here to both help and hinder you around the exhibition, to protect you from walls full of aggressive mock-Tudor panels. Woods has used this style of mock-Tudor revivalism along with its red brick cousin — which more closely relates to Tudor aristocracy — to great effect on architectural interventions, design projects and public art. Outside the Gallery, the work takes on new associations and various scales, from the Lightbox to a number of slighter, more susceptible wall based

structures that float above the formations of tables in the Caffi Bar. The brightly coloured bricks seem to be falling apart, hovering above like a magic trick ready to come crashing down. As with the hand printed flooring and mock-Tudor panels, for all of their delusions of grandeur, you become aware of their imperfections. Like all of Woods’ work, Inclosure Acts is a joy to look at, to be enveloped inside this world, but it also raises serious questions about power, privilege and control. Throughout the exhibition, Woods takes your eyes, feet and hopefully your thoughts across many real and imaginary walls, barriers and borders, some of which, you inevitably carry over the threshold from the outside in and vice versa.

So many of Chapter’s staff have brilliant creative skills and this month Rebecca Knowles, one of our friendly Box Office staff and also a talented actor and theatremaker, brings her new company Triongl to Chapter. If Rebecca’s previous work is anything to go by, Miramar will be funny, engaging and thought-provoking — definitely one of this month’s highlights.

The independent and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene attracts three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak, a sheep farmer, Frank Troy, a reckless Sergeant and William Boldwood, a prosperous and mature bachelor. This timeless story of Bathsheba’s choices and passions explores the nature of relationships and love, as well as the human ability to overcome hardships through resilience and perseverance.

Timbuktu Fri 29 May — Thu 4 June France/2014/97mins/subtitles/12A. Dir: Abderrahmane Sissako. With: Ibrahim Ahmed, Toulou Kik, Abel Jafri, Fatoumata Diawara.
Beautifully filmed against the backdrop of stark desert landscapes and the sparkling river, this is a lucid portrait of the impact foreign jihadi occupation has on everyday life in Timbuktu. We hear the stories of a Muslim who plays desert blues, a farmer and a liberal Imam, as they adjust to living with oppression. A caustic sense of the absurd makes this subtle sense of clashing cultures both funny and petrifying. See page 18 for details of our season of films that explore the impact of conflict.
Fri 29 May — Thu 4 June USA/2014/103mins/15. Dir: Jon Stewart. With: Gael Garcia Bernal, Kim Bodnia, Dimitri Leonidas.
In 2009, journalist Maziar Bahari was detained in Iran for 118 days because he conducted a satirical interview which discussed the country’s presidential election. His inquisitor, nicknamed Rosewater for the cologne he wears, interrogates him daily over the course of four months, attempting to force a confession to a dizzying range of crimes including being a Zionist and appearing on The Daily Show. Adapted from Bahari’s memoirs, Stewart presents a Kafkaesque and telescopic drama that suggests that a regime incapable of tolerating humour is capable of tyranny.

A young woman, born at the turn of twentieth century, is rendered ageless after an accident. After years of a solitary life, she meets a man who might be worth losing her immortality for.
Fed up with an abusive family situation and the lack of prospects at her non-academic school, Marieme falls in with three free-spirited girls. She changes her name and her style and becomes part of a world that is simultaneously dangerous, liberating and empowering. Using non-actors, this is a poignant and candid view of female friendship.

Dior and I Fri 5 — Thu 11 June France/2015/90mins/subtitles/12A. Dir: Frédéric Tcheng. With: Raf Simons, Marion Cotillard, Anna Wintour.
We take a privileged, behind-the-scenes look inside the storied world of the Christian Dior fashion house as Raf Simons creates his first haute couture collection as its new artistic director. Melding the everyday, pressure-filled components of fashion with mysterious echoes from the iconic brand’s past, the film is also a colourful homage to the seamstresses who serve Simons’ vision.
Listen up Philip Fri 5 — Thu 11 June USA/2014/109mins/15. Dir: Alex Ross Perry. With: Jason Schwartzman, Elisabeth Moss, Jonathan Pryce, Krysten Ritter.
Anger rages in successful novelist Philip as he awaits the publication of his second book. His relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley is deteriorating and he feels completely indifferent to promoting his work. When Philip’s idol Ike Zimmerman offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the chance to focus on his favourite subject: himself. An acerbic comedy about artistic ambition, youthful arrogance and middle-aged regret.

Poland/2014/117mins/subtitles/ctba. Dir: Krzysztof Zanussi. With: Riccardo Leonelli, Agnieszka Grochowska, Agata Buzek.
In 1960s Poland, Anna, a young novice nun is sent to visit her hitherto unknown aunt Wanda, a tough, high–functioning alcoholic whose louche lifestyle is in stark contrast to Anna’s cloistered, naïf existence. Dispassionately revealing that Anna was born into a Jewish family and that her parents were murdered during the war, she takes her niece with her on a road trip to find their resting place. On their journey they learn secrets from the past and Anna develops a new curiosity about the world she is about to close herself off from. An austere, exquisite drama that demonstrates with simplicity and delicate humour the ways in which these women must navigate their lives irrevocably affected by history.
In the latest film from master filmmaker Zanussi we meet Angelo and Kasia in Italy, both members of the Focolare Movement, connected by their love and faith in God. Their love is tested when Kasia decides to return to Poland to enter a convent and Angelo travels to Warsaw to change her mind. Taking a job in a company managed by the ruthless and cynical Kris, Angelo is forced to defend his faith. An exploration of the way freedom is exercised in a faithless corporate-dominated post-communist Eastern European world.

Travelling to the nearby villages where his brother’s killers still live (and enjoy wealth and social prominence from their participation in the massacres) Adi conducts eye exams on the perpetrators while quietly but insistently questioning them about their memories and motives. Exquisitely crafted, morally complex this is a gripping follow up to The Act of Killing. + Join us for a live satellite Q&A with director Joshua Oppenheimer hosted by Louis Theroux following the film.

A wonderful ensemble cast brings together a charming, funny and often moving depiction of a post-war country still in recovery.
Jay Cavendish is a young, inexperienced Scots aristocrat in 1870s Colorado pursuing the girl he loves, Rose, who has fled to America with her father. After a run-in with some soldiers Jay teams up with bounty hunter Silas, unaware that Rose and her father have been marked for pursuit and Silas aims to cash in.

From Lemmy filmmaker Wes Orshoski comes the story of the long-ignored pioneers of punk: The Damned, the first UK punks on wax and the first to cross the Atlantic.

Celebrating their 35th anniversary, the film discovers estranged former members striking out on their own anniversary tour, while others battle cancer. + Join us for a post-film Q&A with members of the band hosted by Noys R Us curator and artist S Mark Gubb.
No Manifesto: Manic Street Preachers Sun 31 May — Thu 4 June
UK/2015/95mins/15. Dir: Elizabeth Marcus.
In 1991, Manic Street Preachers came on to the British music scene proclaiming their ambition to make one album, sell millions of copies, and then split up. All these years, multiple hit records, one missing member and many controversies later, they are still here. Providing unprecedented access to the band and going behind the creative process, this is the story of their rise from mouthy punks to international figureheads.

Sun 14 + Tue 16 June
A glorious restoration with previously unseen footage offers breathtaking testimony of the visual imagination and boundless artistic daring of Powell and Pressburger. The Oscar-nominated adaptation of Offenbach’s opera is a feverish swirl of colour and intense emotion as the poet Hoffmann recalls the three great loves of his life and how unbearable sadness inspires the most sublime artistry. + Introduction from WNO Dramaturg Sophie Rashbrook at both screenings.
Otello
Wed 17 June Italy/1986/118mins/subtitles/U. Dir: Franco Zeffirelli. With: Placido Domingo, Katia Ricciarelli, Justino Diaz.
Based on Shakesphere’s play, Verdi’s opera depicts the devastating effects of jealousy and insecurity on a powerful man. Believing Otello has promoted the fast-rising Cassio over himself, Iago plots to destroy both men. Iago convinces the jealous Otello that his beautiful wife Desdemona is unfaithful, and that Cassio is her lover. Jealousy is followed by tragedy, then retribution. + Join us for a schools workshop from WNO with a pre-recorded introduction to the film by Sophie Rashbrook.
Thu 18 June
A comic opera in three acts by Richard Strauss with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. The aristocratic Marschallin suggests her coarse cousin Baron Ochs gets her very young lover Count Octavian Rofrano to act as his Knight of the Rose to win the heart of Sophie, daughter of a rich bourgeois. But when Octavian meets Sophie they fall in love at first sight. Conscious of the difference in age between herself and Octavian, the Marschallin muses in bittersweet fashion over the passing of time and men’s inconstancy and she yields Octavian to the younger woman.

“This is a cinema of personal vision, social commitment and poetic responsibility, with great emotional and visual power” Martin Scorsese
Claire Vaughan Programme Officer, Film and Cinema I am delighted that we have a chance to screen Martin Scorsese’s favourite films alongside this year’s Foreign Language Oscar winner Ida and new releases to celebrate Polish Cinema. The repressive Cold War culture did nothing to limit the passion of the filmmakers who were working within the threat of censorship, instead inventive storytelling and a wicked sense of humour has left us with a legacy of impressive films. One of these legendary directors, Krzysztof Zanussi, will be with us in person talking about his latest film Foreign Body so it’s a great month for exploring film culture!

The Hourglass Sanatorium
chapter.org
Martin Scorsese presents: Masterpieces of Polish Cinema A season of films chosen by Martin Scorsese, we take a look at Polish cinema with established classics and contemporary brilliance.
The Hourglass Sanatorium
Blind Chance
Poland/1973/125mins/subtitles/15. Dir: Wojciech Jerzy Has. With: Jan Nowicki.
Poland/1987/114mins/subtitles/15. Dir: Krzysztof Kieślowski. With: Bogusław Linda.
A hallucinatory head-swiveller of a film, which combines several of Bruno Schulz’s short fantasy works into a floridly baroque journey of a man visiting a mysterious sanatorium. He enters a world based as much on his anxieties and long buried memories as it is on objective reality, a world crammed with exotic birds, mechanical automata resembling historical figures and haunting images of Poland’s now vanished Jewish past.
Banned for years for getting too close to the political knuckle, Kieślowski’s three-part narrative hinges on whether medical student Witek catches a train, and on what happens afterwards. Will he be recruited by the government, become a political protester, or continue studying in neutral isolation? And can he control these outcomes, or is his life dictated by fate? This newly-restored version contains scenes which have never previously been screened in public.
+ Join filmmaker and horror fan Ben Ewart-Dean after the screening on Sat 6 June for a discussion around the themes of the film.
Knife in the Water
Sat 6 + Thu 11 June
Ashes and Diamonds Sun 7 + Tue 9 June
Poland/1958/104mins/subtitles/12. Dir: Andrzej Wajda. With: Zbigniew Cybulski.
Long established as one of Polish cinema’s supreme masterpieces, Wajda’s film vividly captures the turbulence and confusion immediately following the Second World War, as a former resistance hero turns anti-Communist assassin. Zbigniew Cybulski’s charismatic performance as the conflicted killer seemed to crystallise the fears and uncertainties of a generation.
‘One of the greatest films ever made’ Martin Scorsese
Sun 21 + Tue 23 June
Sun 28 + Tue 30 June
Poland/1962/94mins/subtitles/PG. Dir: Roman Polanski. With: Leon Niemczyk, Jolanta Umecka, Zygmunt Malanowicz.
Roman Polański’s first feature mixed ostensibly simple ingredients: two men, a woman, a yacht, a vast expanse of water and a haunting Jazz score by the great Krzysztof Komeda. It resulted in not just one of the most psychologically gripping films of its era, but also Poland’s first Oscar nomination. Martin Scorsese presents: Masterpieces of Polish Cinema is currently organised by DI Factory, all DOTS, Propaganda Foundation and The Film Foundation, in cooperation with Tor, Zebra and Kadr film studios, in partnership with the National Audiovisual Institute of Poland, and with the support of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland and the Polish Film Institute.

The Connection Fri 19 — Thu 25 June France/2014/135mins/15. Dir: Cédric Jimenez. With: Jean Dujardin, Gilles Lellouche, Céline Sallette.
A stylish, 1970s crime thriller inspired by true events, which tells the story of real-life Marseilles magistrate Pierre Michel and his relentless crusade to dismantle the most notorious drug smuggling operation in history: the French Connection. In his crosshairs is charismatic and wealthy kingpin, Gatean “Tany” Zampa who runs the largest underground heroin trade into the States. Though the fearless and tenacious Michel, aided by a task force of elite cops, will stop at nothing to ensure the crime ring’s demise, Zampa always seems one step ahead. Michel is forced to make the most difficult decision of his life: to continue waging his war, or ensure his family’s safety.
London Road Fri 26 June — Thu 2 July UK/2015/92mins/15. Dir: Rufus Norris. With: Olivia Coleman, Tom Hardy, Anita Dobson.
An adaptation of the award-winning National Theatre musical, documenting the true events that shook Suffolk when in 2006 the bodies of five women were discovered in Ipswich. The residents of London Road found themselves at the epicentre of these tragic events and this ground-breaking work weaves the words of those who lived through the experience into an uplifting story about a community coming together in the darkest of times.
Futuro Beach Fri 26 June — Wed 1 July Brazil/2014/106mins/15. Dir: Karim Aïnouz. With: Wagner Moura, Clemens Schick, Jesuíta Barbosa.
Donato is a lifeguard in Brazil who saves German tourist Konrad from drowning, but fails to save his other friend. The intimacy of their shared experience sparks a relationship and Donato leaves everything behind, including his ailing mother and younger brother, Ayrton, to travel back to Berlin with Konrad. Once there his journey for love soon turns into a deeper search for his own identity and eight years later, an unexpected visit from Ayrton, brings all three men back together as they struggle to reconcile the pain of loss and longing. A touching examination of lives lost and found. + Join us after the screening on Tue 30 June for Chapter’s LGBTQ film discussion group.
