These Rotten Words Rebecca Ackroyd, David Austen, Johann Arens, Anna Barham, Marie-Michelle Deschamps, Foundation Press, Anneke Kampman, Joanna Piotrowska and Devlin Shea Curated by George Vasey
Sat 18 March — Sun 11 June Encompassing photography, painting, sculpture, sound and moving image works, ‘These Rotten Words’ focuses on the physicality of textual, gestural and vocal forms of communication. Rottenness is defined as both bad and decayed and, in a world where public discourse has become increasingly dominated by divisive polemics, the exhibition embraces language that is more contingent and intimate. The artists call attention to the physical properties of communication: the mouth and the hand are inextricably linked and while the hand enables us to shape materials, the voice — and our use of language — offers a further tool to manipulate the world around us. Words become disentangled from the author’s intention. Limbs float freely. Bodies are scaled up and down. The familiar and at hand becomes estranged and unknown. To rot is to decompose, offering an opportunity for reassembly. The artists in the
Gallery Opening Times: Tue, Wed, Sat, Sun: 12–6pm, Thu, Fri: 12–8pm, Mon: Closed
exhibition suggest a form of renewal, probing the possibilities and limits of the body and its voice. Text can be a vehicle for melody as much as meaning. We may talk before we know exactly what we want to say. Speech is slippery, and intention is as much about inflection as content — all languages carry inefficiencies and lacuna. ‘These Rotten Words’ is commissioned by Chapter to coincide with Experimentica. The Festival runs from 29 March to 2 April and for more information turn to pages 4–5. GEORGE VASEY is a curator and writer based in Newcastle. He is currently a curatorial fellow at Newcastle University. His writing has appeared in Art Review, Art Monthly, Apollo, Frieze and Kaleidoscope magazine.

As resentment soon rewrites the course of the afternoon, fits and feuds unfold, fuelled by loneliness and doubt, while all attempts at empathy are sabotaged by people’s incapacity to listen and love.

An authentic first-hand account of the plight of refugees.
Finding a job and learning Spanish are Xiaobin’s first priorities as a young Chinese migrant in Buenos Aires, and both bring with them the dilemmas of human relationships. A delightfully original comedy of manners that builds a fascinating exploration of the stories we live by and the limits of language, this demonstrates a great sense of the possibilities of cinema. Winner Locarno International Film Festival Best First Feature Award 2016
“ so insightful about issues of identity, exile, language and self — and at the same time, so elegantly funny.” Jonathan Romney
The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki Sun 19 Mar 8.40pm Finland/2016/92mins/12A/subtitles. Dir: Juho Kuosmanen With: Jarkko Lahti, Oona Airola, Eero Milonoff
Tomorrow (Demain)
Modest underdog Olli (“the Baker from Kokkola”) prepares for his big boxing fight with the expectations of the Finnish nation on his shoulders, but when he falls in love it becomes increasingly clear that boxing is no longer the most important thing in his world. A resolutely low-key black and white romantic tale conjuring up a delightful mood of bittersweet melancholy.

Iran/2016/124mins/12A. Dir: Asghar Farhadi With: Shahab Hosseini, Taraneh Alidoosti
UK/2016/110mins/12A. Dir: Mick Jackson With: Rachel Weisz, Timothy Spall, Tom Wilkinson, Andrew Scott
After their flat becomes damaged, Emad and Rana, a young couple living in Tehran, Iran, must move into another apartment. Once relocated, a sudden eruption of violence linked to the previous tenant of their new home dramatically changes their lives, creating a simmering tension between husband and wife.
In the mid-1990s, Dr Deborah E. Lipstadt gave a talk about her acclaimed book “Denying the Holocaust,” when David Irving boorishly interrupted her lecture and sued her for defamation of character. By law Deborah must lead a battle for historical truth to prove her statements about Irving. A very timely look at fake news and the views of the Alt-Right.
Oscar nominated for best foreign language film, won best actor award at Cannes.
Age of Shadows Fri 24 — Thu 30 Mar South Korea/2016/140mins/ctba. Dir: Jee-woon Kim With: Byung-hun Lee, Yoo Gong, Kang-ho Song
In 1920s Korea police captain Lee Jung-chool is given a special mission by the Japanese to infiltrate the armed resistance fighting for independence. The leader of the resistance senses that he is being played and realises that if handled properly he can turn this to his favour. A cat and mouse game unfolds between smuggler Kim Woo-jin and Lee. A compelling tale, of shifting allegiance and the psychological toll of following orders.
+ Tinted Lens post-screening discussion on Mon 3 Apr.
Tinted Lens is a collaboration between Chapter, Cardiff University and Film Hub Wales which explores the mind and conceptions of normality and pathology in film, with a focus on loss and grief, fantasy and delusions, understandings of time and states of consciousness.
“ Spall does a magnificent job of portraying an obsessed and slick con artist who at his core is a monster in a tailored suit.” Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
The Student Fri 31 Mar — Wed 5 Apr Russia/2016/118mins/ctba. Dir: Kirill Serebrennikov With: Pyotr Skvortsov, Viktoriya Isakova, Yuliya Aug
This is the tale of Venya, who begins to be convinced that the world has been lost to evil and begins to challenge the morals and beliefs of the adults around him. Venya spitefully attacks his divorced mother, protests the teaching of evolution and makes an enemy of his female classmates. An electrifying case study of why the uneasy mingling of church and the political class has infiltrated society in Putin’s Russia.
