Help us to help our neighbours please don’t be a problem parker We’re a very busy centre, and with over 700,000 visits since we relaunched this can put a lot of strain on our limited parking spaces. We’re lucky that there’s lots of free parking within just a few minutes walk and when our car park is full after 6pm and at weekends it’s also possible to park next door at Cardiff Community Learning Services. So please don’t park in the nearby streets — it upsets us and our neighbours and you run the risk of getting a hefty £70 fine. And don’t forget Green Points — if you walk to Chapter or use public transport you can get extra loyalty points to spend on theatre and cinema tickets. Our advice is: Arrive early — if our car park is full there’s free parking off Harvey Street (70 spaces, 1 minute walk), off Gray Street (153 spaces, less than 2 minutes walk), off Albert Street (71 spaces, 4 minutes walk) and off Severn Road (130 spaces, less than 5 minutes walk). Check out public transport — number 17, 18 and 33 buses leave the City Centre every 5 minutes. Think about cycling — we’ve got lots of racks outside our main entrance. How about walking? We’re probably closer than you think — just a 20 minute walk from Cardiff Castle. Have you thought about car sharing? Help the planet, help us and help our neighbours all at the same time.

Everyone loves Iris... The Iris Prize has made a huge impact on the international scene and this year’s festival screened to packed houses here at Chapter and at Cineworld. This year’s short film award winner is The Samaritan directed by Magnus Monk from Norway. The associated exhibition, Pink Portraits by the acclaimed photographer Donald MacLellan is still on display on the Upper Level of St David’s Centre and includes portraits of Sir Ian McKellen, Stephen Fry and Iris Prize Director Berwyn Rowlands. It’s free and definitely worth a visit.

We can’t stop growing! We celebrated our first mini harvest at a get together earlier this year with lots of samples of things cooked from the fruits of our community garden. The chocolate and courgette cakes were a huge hit and we just caught the end of a great runner bean, spinach and cabbage season. OK — so our sweetcorn was a bit stunted but otherwise we had a great crop. Thanks to all at Canton Community Gardens who’ve put in so much work. Lots of big plans are underway so get in touch if you want to get involved.

A Big Shout Out to Richer Sounds The local independent company Richer Sounds are our newest sponsor. They specialise in hi-fi, home cinema and flat panel TVs and much of our technology around the centre is kindly loaned from them. They’re based just around the corner in an ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ type shop on Cowbridge Road East — they’ve got great prices, know what they’re talking about and really make you feel welcome. Thank you Richer Sounds — we’re really pleased you’re on board.

S Mark Gubb: How Should I Live? (Maybe That’s Not The Question) Until Sun 7 Nov • Tan Sul 7 Tach Wim Wenders’ film Wings of Desire is a seminal reflection on the nature of humanity, centred on the tension between the heavenly protagonists and their earthly counterparts. Acting as an allegory for some of the big philosophical debates, the film conveys the immediacy of such questions of contemporary existence as life, death, love and faith. S Mark Gubb’s exhibition is also a reflection on the nature of existence. Taking its title from a line in the film, How Should I Live? (Maybe That’s Not The Question) raises questions of personal ambition, belief and values, by asking you to make choices as you navigate your way through the gallery. The exhibition explores a kind of naive utopian ideal, and focuses on, among other things, the Costa Rican notion of ‘Pura Vida’ or the ‘Good Life’ as exemplified by the idea that ‘if you have a church, a bar and a football pitch then you have a town’. This notion is tempered by Gubb’s ability to cut across any notions that the journey through life could be without complexity or sacrifice. And so he offers various points of access, allowing engagement with the subject and content in several meaningful ways; pulling different aspects in and out of focus so that the response demanded can also tap into the deeper cultural, political, moral and social decisions that shape us. Biography S Mark Gubb was born in Romsey, Hampshire and studied at the Universities of Derby (BA Fine Art) and Central England (MA Fine Art). Previous exhibitions and projects include Zünderkerze, Matthew Bown Gallery, Berlin; We Have the Mirrors, We Have the Plans, Mostyn, Llandudno (2010); My Empire of Dirt, Ceri Hand Gallery, Liverpool; Pura Vida, Hinterland, Nottingham (2009); Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, The City Gallery, Leicester (2008); and The Death of Peter Fechter, ICA, London (2007). He is currently working on public commissions for Bristol City Council and The Usher Gallery, Lincoln and a solo show at aspex, Portsmouth. + Gallery Walk & Talk Fri 5 Nov • 6pm • Gwe 5 Tach Mark discusses his work with Ellen Mara de Wachter, Curator for Zabludowicz Collection. Free (no booking necessary) We have produced a limited edition print to accompany the exhibition. ‘Free For All Forever’ has been printed by Print Market project in Cardiff and is available from The Shop priced at £100 unframed or £175 framed (or you can pay in instalments through the Collectorplan scheme). For more information please ask in the Gallery. Top image: Don’t Kill Dolphins, printed billboard poster, 2010, 3x4m. Image courtesy the artist and Ceri Hand Gallery.

Assembly: Art in the Bar Casper Scarth Until Sun 5 December • Tan Sul 5 Rhagfyr Casper Scarth’s surrealist paintings draw on recurring themes, often exploring the loss of innocence, lack of freedom, autonomy of the individual and the hostilities faced in a globalised community. For Chapter, Scarth is presenting a new body of work that focuses on public spaces that have been transformed into artificial wastelands. The once thriving environments fail to provide inhabitants with their main functions of access, shelter and recreation; instead surrendering themselves to the sprawling flora that surrounds them. His observational paintings focus on simple form and structure, imitating the proverbial architecture of childhood playgrounds, public conveniences and deserted streets. Spaces once overlooked are abstracted into dreamlike scenes of familiarity, suggesting feelings of confinement and unease. Developing a growing fascination with London’s urban dynamics, social change and architectural regeneration, Scarth continues to use his surroundings as the main inspiration in his work. Biography Casper Scarth was born in 1971 in Retford and now lives in London. He received BAs from the University of Plymouth, Exeter and the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam before completing an MA at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. Recent solo exhibitions include The Fields, Kester+Bles Gallery, London (2010); Prime Cut, Ada Street Gallery (2006); and Lazy Bourgeois, Celia Johnson Gallery, London (2002). He was awarded the Shawn Memorial Prize for Landscape Painting in 1993.

Tim Davies: 50th Year to Heaven Fri 26 Nov — Sun 16 Jan • Gwe 26 Tach — Sul 16 Ion The seemingly simple beauty of Tim Davies’ work conceals complex and unexpected connections with politics, class and social issues. His concepts span time and place, conflict and power, and often focus on hidden historical details that question notions of colonialism and nationalism. This exhibition features new and existing works and includes a commission that documents Davies’ year long contemplation of the use of photojournalistic images as a witness to local and global events. The work seeks out patterns amongst the ordinary and extraordinary — where the trivial is positioned next to the brutal, the usual alongside the unusual — within the framework of 365 days. Every day then acts as a witness. A bookwork accompanies the piece. Biography Tim Davies lives and works in Swansea, having studied in London, Norwich and Canterbury. Previous exhibitions include: Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea; Tallinn Art Hall, Estonia and Mostyn, Llandudno (2010); The Butler Gallery, Kilkenny, Ireland (2009); V22, London (2008); Aberystywth Arts Centre (2006); CAC, Vilnius (2005). His work is represented in the Arts Council Collection at Hayward Gallery, London; the National Museum Wales in Cardiff; Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea; National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth and the Contemporary Arts Society. Tim will represent Wales at The Venice Biennale of Art 2011. This exhibition has received generous financial support from the Colwinston Charitable Trust

Re–Live A Story to Call My Own Wed 3 + Thu 4 Nov • 8pm • Mer 3 + Iau 4 Tach Returning to Chapter following its premiere last year, A Story To Call My Own is a show about identity, escape and returning. From war-torn London to rural Carmarthenshire, the mining community of the Rhondda Valley and the claustrophobic city streets of Cardiff, memories are mapped and re-lived. Three older people take you on a brave, funny and poignant journey through key moments in their lives. The show also invites you to think about your own story. After all, everyone has a story to tell. The return of this autobiographical show marks the beginning of an exciting new partnership which puts Chapter and Re-Live at the centre of the growing international debate on creative ageing. Over the next three years further innovative and energetic productions will be developed which give a voice to the older generation. £6/£4 Supported by the Arts Council of Wales and The Baring Foundation. www.re-live.org.uk

This sharp, honest and absorbing literary memoir picks apart a challenging upbringing in Tonyrefail, his wanderings to Australia, Amsterdam and London, and his experimentation as a young man with drink, drugs and love. Boyd Clack is a man of many talents: a writer, actor, musician, comedian and enthusiast, he has released a critically-acclaimed album, started the Doom Rock-band The Lemmings in 70s Amsterdam and starred and co-wrote the cult comedy shows High Hopes and Satellite City. £5 (redeemable against the purchase of Kisses Sweeter Than Wine on the night)

Muscle by Greg Cullen Thu 11 — Sat 20 Nov • 8pm • Iau 11 — Sad 20 Tach + Thu 11 + Thu 18 Nov • 2pm • Iau 11 + Iau 18 Tach (no performances on Sun 14 or Mon 15 Nov)

Love us or loathe us, men are everywhere. We have the habit of popping up, often unexpectedly, in your beds, wombs, wars and conversations. You find us in your arms, nightmares and fondest memories. We come, for better or for worse, in guises as disparate as grandfather and son, priest and lover, yet apparently we all hail from Mars. No wonder being a man is problematic; it’s dangerous, pressured, ridiculous, funny and sometimes tragic, but it is also capable of being something beautiful. Back at Chapter following a successful run in January, Muscle is a richly textured fusion of theatre, dance, music and documentary. Inspired by poignant interviews with males of all ages across Wales and performed by an eclectic all male cast, Muscle has been created by writer/ director Greg Cullen and choreographer/dancer Phil Williams with music by Benjamin Talbott. £12/£8/£6

Everyman Theatre The Crucible by Arthur Miller Tue 16 — Sat 20 Nov • 7.30pm • Maw 16 — Sad 20 Tach + Sat 20 Nov • 2pm • Sad 20 Tach This 20th Century masterpiece documents the real life drama that was played out in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. Salem remains notorious for the persecution of innocent people and the loss of life of those condemned of witchcraft. This tense and powerful drama guarantees a riveting theatrical experience. An amateur production presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Ltd. £10 (Saturday matinee: £8)

Volcano Theatre 1977 Fri 12 + Sat 13 Nov • 8pm • Gwe 12 + Sad 13 Tach Love. Politics. A big movie. And some very loud drums. It’s 1977 — a thriving year for plane hijackings, and a busy period for the terrorists of the Red Army Faction. The Sex Pistols and the The Clash have released their seminal albums, and with Franco gone, Spain’s fascist regime has gasped its last breaths. The Vietnam War is over, although its effect on American culture and global politics is still evident. Volcano’s latest show begins on the notoriously troubled set of Apocalypse Now. As Coppola, Sheen and the crew go mad in the jungle, the action transfers to a very different event on the other side of the world, where a conference is gathering that aims to take the temperature of a ‘dying century’. The lives and stories of two young delegates unfold with shattering consequences against the twin backdrops of the conference rooms and Coppola’s film. Directed by John Hardwick. With Paul Davies, Philip Ralph and Peter Webb. Movement Advisor: Catherine Bennett. With music by The Doors, Patti Smith and Gang of Four. £12/£10/£8

Theatr Bara Caws: 100 Fri 26 + Sat 27 Nov • 8pm • Gwe 27 + Sad 27 Tach Dychmygwch fod yn rhaid i chi ddewis un atgof yn unig o’ch bywyd – bydd y gweddill yn diflannu am byth.

Charlotte Greig, Anthony Reynolds & Gerald Tyler Doctor Freud’s Cabaret Wed 1 + Thu 2 Dec • 8pm • Mer 1 + Iau 2 Rhag Fresh from their sold-out show in London’s Freud Museum, acclaimed Wales-based musicians and writers Charlotte Greig and Anthony Reynolds present their playful piece of musical theatre featuring songs in the voices of Freud’s early patients. The show also explores the world of magic and illusion, with conjuring tricks, mind reading, and free association live on stage. Greig and Reynolds sing this suite of original songs, with musical accompaniment of the period. Gerald Tyler stars as Freud’s right-hand man, the redoubtable Welsh psychoanalyst, Ernest Jones. £12/£10/£8

Jennie Savage & James Tyson A Circle Thu 25 — Sat 27 Nov • 8pm • Iau 25 — Sad 27 Tach This animated short film takes you on a journey through a global city. A city of architectural objects which function as machines for the industry of the twenty-first century: processing capital. A Circle looks into the gaps to discover a human presence reflected in its surface and explores the potential of collapse as a metaphor for questioning what it means to be human; to live within this machine. Voices, reflections and dialogues provide a soundtrack in response to spaces which are conceived visually and rationalised scientifically to maximise consumption yet are presented as a kind of utopia. Jennie Savage is an artist who seeks to transform people’s perception of place through the creation of mediated experience. She explores the grey areas between public spaces, town planning, constructed landscapes and the human story and the lives and personal narratives connected to these sites. Her recent projects in Cardiff include The Arcades Project: A 3D Documentary; Out in the World and STAR Radio. She has published two books, Depending on Time (2009) and STAR: A psychotopography of place (2006) and has had major exhibitions in the UK and internationally. This latest work commissioned by Chapter has been made in collaboration with Theatre Programmer James Tyson and features the voices of Sharon Morgan, John Rowley, Caroline Sabin, James Long, Maiko Bae Yamamoto, Susan Leblanc-Crawford, Alex McLean and Ben Stone.

Mr. Nice

Fri 29 Oct — Wed 10 Nov • Gwe 29 Hyd — Mer 10 Tach

Fri 22 Oct — Thu 4 Nov • Gwe 22 Hyd — Iau 4 Tach

UK/2010/113mins/15. Dir: Nigel Cole. With Sally Hawkins, Rosamund Pike, Miranda Richardson, Bob Hoskins.

UK/2010/121mins/18. Dir: Bernard Rose. With Rhys Ifans, Chloë Sevigny and David Thewliss.

It’s 1968 and both workers’ and cultural revolutions are taking place around the world. Rita works at the Ford plant in Dagenham stitching together seat covers. It’s intricate work carried out in sweltering conditions — so why are the workers paid the same as unskilled labourers? The director of Calendar Girls has joined forces with a host of British talent to bring us a joyful and uplifting retelling of the groundbreaking strike when a group of women teamed up to fight for their rights. + Socialistas meeting following the screening on Thu 4 Nov at 6pm.

Bringing to life the best-selling autobiography about the life and career of Kenfig Hill’s most famous son, Howard Marks, Mr Nice tells the story of the charismatic drugs smuggler who was at one time Britain’s most wanted man. Linked with MI6, the IRA and the Mafia, he eventually spent seven years in America’s toughest penitentiary before reinventing himself as a highly popular public raconteur. Rhys Ifans is a thoroughly charming personification of the 1980s’ Public Enemy Number One and, while it would be nice to think that crime doesn’t pay, Mr. Nice doesn’t make a convincing case. + Swn music video before all screenings + Adaptations: Book / Film Club Tue 26 Oct • Maw 26 Hyd The ‘reading group with a difference’ gets together following the screening to discuss Mr Nice and the book that inspired it.

The Illusionist Fri 29 Oct —Thu 4 Nov • Gwe 29 Hyd — Iau 4 Tach France/UK/2010/80mins/PG. Dir: Sylvain Chomet.

This magical animation from the team that brought us Belleville Rendezvous is based on an unproduced script originally written by Jacques Tati in 1956 for his illegitimate, estranged daughter. A struggling illusionist, Monsieur Tatischeff, travels to Edinburgh to try his luck with a new audience. On the way, he meets a young girl in a Scottish fishing village who’s so impressed with his abilities that she becomes his assistant as well as his surrogate daughter. The Illusionist is a love letter to 1950s Edinburgh, with the city’s distinctive architecture and changeable weather all painted in an evocative watercolour palette. + Introduction on Tue 2 Nov at 2.30pm by Chris Glynn, Programme Director for the BA in Illustration, Cardiff School of Design, UWIC.

Hong Sangsoo: Between Men and Women

Double CL1C card points

Korean master filmmaker, Hong Sangsoo’s wry and witty unravellings of tangled sexual relationships are acclaimed across the world and this is the first time a complete retrospective of his work is available in the UK. Nobody probes deeper into the ways that men and women misread each other’s feelings. His films have the power to shake up perceptions, but also display a humorous side, satirising male self-delusions and female insecurities with delicious candour.

South Korea/2000/126mins/subtitled/ctba. Dir: Hong Sangsoo. With Lee Eunju, Jung Boseok, Moon Sungkuen.

Hong’s stunning debut explores the intertwined lives of four young urban adults - a second-rate novelist in love with a married woman, a girl who foolishly loves and supports the novelist, and the married woman’s husband, who catches an STD from a prostitute. The film has nothing to do with pigs or wells, but it finds the extraordinary at the heart of the everyday. A modern classic.

24-year-old Sujeong surrenders her virginity to gallery owner Jaehoon, who was introduced to her by her married (but amorous) boss Youngsoo. But very little tallies in their respective memories of what brought them to this point… With a title that references a Marcel Duchamp artwork, Hong’s funny valentine reinvents the romcom in cubist terms.

South Korea/1998/108mins/subtitled/ctba. Dir: Hong Sangsoo. With Baek Jonghak, Oh Yunhong, Kim Yuseok.

France/South Korea/2005/89mins/subtitled/ctba. Dir: Hong Sangsoo. With Kim Sangkyung, Uhm Jiwon, Lee Giwu.

This film presents two seemingly distinct stories about residents of Seoul taking short breaks in Korea’s east-coast resort province. It gradually becomes apparent that the protagonists are ex-lovers who have never quite got over each other - and that the two stories in fact occur within more or less the same time-frame. A brilliant piece of modernist storytelling which cuts to the heart of the way we understand characters.

The Day a Pig Fell Into the Well

On the rebound from their failed romance, Sangwoon and Youngshil meet by chance and, after dinner and a number of drinks, decide to commit suicide together. After several failed attempts, the young man ends up back with his family, revealing that it may be his mother’s harsh and uncaring attitude which has driven him to try and take his own life. This is a thematically fascinating film; an almost meditative experience, it’s a rare example of cinema which encourages you to think, not only about what is being shown, but also about your own life.

Woman on the Beach Tue 30 Nov • Maw 30 Tach South Korea/2006/127mins/subtitled/ ctba. Dir: Hong Sangsoo. With Kim Seungwoo, Ko Hyunjung, Kim Taewoo.

Kim takes his friend Changwook and Changwook’s potential girlfriend Moonsook to Shinduri Beach for a working break. Kim is manipulative, narcissistic, dishonest and emotionally immature, not to mention a compulsive skirt-chaser. The two-men-and-a-girl storyline is less formalised than most of Hong’s earlier films, but no less acute in skewering male weaknesses and female strengths.

“[an] immaculately constructed movie” The Village Voice

Ganed y cyfarwyddwr ffilmiau Hong Sansoo yn ninas Seoul, De Korea ym 1960. Astudiodd ffilm mewn prifysgolion yn Seoul, California a Chicago, yn arbennig ffilmiau arbrofol, lleiafrifol. Mae hyn yn cael ei adlewyrchu yn ei ffilmiau. Hyd yn oed yn Ne Korea dim ond sinemâu arbenigol (fel Chapter) sy'n dangos ei ffilmiau. Ei nod yw gwneud ffilmiau fydd o ddiddordeb neilltuol i drigolion De Korea. Dim ond y bobl hynny all werthfawrogi ei ddefnydd direidus o iaith yn ei ffilmiau ac mae hyn yn gur pen ofnadwy i'r bobl sy'n isdeitlo'r ffilmiau ar gyfer eu dangos dramor! Mae ei actorion yn gweithio dan amodau anodd. Weithiau cânt wybod beth sy'n digwydd fesul diwrnod gan weld y sgript ychydig cyn i'r saethu ddechrau. Mae'n credu bod rihyrsio yn lladd ysbryd ffilm. Mae'n disgwyl i'w actorion gyd-yfed gydag e. Fel hyn daw i'w hadnabod yn well a bydd ambell i brofiad gaiff ei ddatgelu ganddynt yn dod yn rhan o'r ffilm! Ei fan cychwyn wrth benderfynu ar ei brosiect nesaf yw sefyllfa hynod gyffredin sydd wedi ei gyffwrdd. Mae'n dadansoddi'r sefyllfa ac yn ei thynnu'n ddarnau. Yna mae'n chwilio am batrwm fydd yn fodd iddo osod y darnau yn ôl gyda'i gilydd. Dechreuodd gyfarwyddo ffilmiau ym 1996 a bydd pump o'i ffilmiau yn cael eu dangos yn Chapter ym mis Tachwedd. The Day a Pig Fell into the Well oedd ei ffilm gyntaf. Mae'n adrodd hanes nofelydd, dwy wraig a gŵr un ohonynt. Roedd beirniaid De Korea wrth eu bodd gyda'r ffilm gignoeth hon. The Power of Kangwon Province (1998) oedd ei ail ffilm. Mae'n astudio cwpl ifanc ar ôl i'w perthynas ddod i ben. Caiff y stori ei hadrodd ddwywaith, o'i safbwynt ef a'i safbwynt hi, ac mae'r math yma o ddyblu ac adlewyrchu yn elfen gyson yn ffilmiau Hong Sansoo, fel mae'r olygfa hir lle mae'r ddau yn meddwi ac yn agor eu calonnau. Cyn ffilmio golygfeydd meddw fel hyn mae'n mynnu bod yr actorion hwythau yn meddwi! Mae hon eto yn ffilm gignoeth. Ei drydedd ffilm oedd Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors (2000). Unwaith eto darlunnir perthynas anodd lle mae cwpl yn twyllo'i gilydd yn ddi-baid. Cawn yr un dyblu ag yn y ffilm flaenorol ond er bod hon yn ffilm real a gonest dyw hi ddim yn gignoeth. Tale of Cinema (2005) oedd ei chweched ffilm. Mae cyfarwyddwr yn cwrdd ag actores ac mae'r berthynas sy'n datblygu rhyngddynt fel petai'n adlais o'r ffilm mae hi newydd ei gwneud. Hefyd mae par ifanc yn ceisio ailgynnau perthynas sydd wedi methu, gyda chanlyniadau brawychus. Seithfed ffilm Hong Sansoo sy'n cloi detholiad Chapter. Yn Woman on the Beach gwelwn beth sy'n digwydd pan mae cyfarwyddwr yn ceisio llunio sgript ei ffilm nesaf a dwyn cariad ei gydweithiwr. Mae'n amlwg fod Hong Sansoo, sy'n ŵr priod, yn argyhoeddedig fod cynnal perthynas lwyddiannus bron â bod yn amhosibl a bod cyfathrebu'n gall ag eraill y tu hwnt i allu'r rhan fwyaf o bobl. Dyma gyfrinach ei apêl; mae ei gymeriadau yn fodau dynol credadwy. Nid creadigaethau Hollywood mohonyn nhw, o bell ffordd.

Fri 5 — Thu 18 Nov • Gwe 5 — Iau 18 Tach

Behind the Scenes with us Chapter Folk. Name: Claire Vaughan Job title(s): Staff Rep, Café Bar supervisor, Box Office receptionist, Usher… (I’m sure I’m missing some out!) How long have you worked at Chapter? Almost six years. I started just after Christmas in the bar, very quiet on my first shift, completely opposite to how it is now! I work in a few departments — I’m here so much I may as well sleep here! What is your favourite thing about working at Chapter? Variety. In the same week I could be running around the café bar, talking with the Film Academy kids, ushering in the theatre, chairing our book / film group Adaptations (see left), helping out with Scrabble Sunday. Busy but brilliant! What is the best thing you’ve seen at Chapter? Hard to pick one thing but Korean artist Jeong Geum-Hyung at Experimentica was just the most beautiful piece of live theatre I’ve seen; and the most difficult to explain. What’s the most memorable thing that’s happened to you at Chapter? The time I dressed up as a giant rabbit to celebrate the Flaming Lips film Christmas On Mars. I got hugged and then beaten up by some children and was later bouncing balloons around cinema one. What do you do in your spare time? If it’s daytime I’m probably reading a book whilst listening to Radio 4 with the cat on my lap, if it’s the evening I’m usually at a gig or watching a film with my gorgeous boyfriend. Tell us a joke… What do you call cheese that doesn’t belong to you? Na-cho Cheese

USA/2010/120mins/12A. Dir: David Fincher. With Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Max Minghella.

You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies! This razor sharp script by Aaron Sorkin, brilliantly directed by David Fincher tells the tale of the meteoric rise and acrimonious fall of the founders of Facebook — Harvard undergrads who developed their zeitgeist-altering phenomenon out of their dorm rooms and ended up suing each other for millions. Jesse Eisenberg is mesmerising as the genius but socially awkward CEO Mark Zuckerberg, whose flash of socialnetworking inspiration occurs during a drunken act of internet revenge on an ex-girlfriend, and goes on to make him the youngest billionaire in history. Much more than a ripped-from-theheadlines docudrama, this is a timeless study of unchecked ambition, status and privilege, and those other, more precious things money can’t buy.

Carlos Tue 2 — Thu 4 Nov • Maw 2 — Iau 4 Tach France/Germany/2010/164mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Olivier Assayas. With Edgar Ramirez, Alexander Scheer, Alejandro Arroyo.

This critically acclaimed, high action drama tells the story of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez (Carlos the Jackal) and his journey through the radical international underground of the Cold War period. Born into a communist family in Venezuela and educated at the London School of Economics, he trained in guerrilla warfare in Cuba and joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, spending the next 25 years engaged in urban campaigns against capitalism, Zionism and western imperialism. But it was the raid on OPEC (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) in 1975 where he gained true notoriety and turned from being a terrorist into a star. Olivier Assayas’ film is epic, imaginative, full of fascinating historical detail and features a stunning performance from Edgar Ramirez as the charming and dangerous Carlos.

USA/2009/99mins/15. Dir: Bobcat Goldthwait. With Robin Williams, Daryl Sabara, Alexie Gilmore.

India/2010/107mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Anusha Rizvi, Mahmood Farooqui. With Omkar Das Manikpuri, Raghuvir Yadav.

Lance Clayton is a man who has learned to settle. He dreamed of being a rich and famous writer but has only managed to make it as a high school poetry teacher; his art teacher girlfriend flirts shamelessly with his colleagues and his only son Kyle is a rage-filled teenager who hates being seen with two teachers. But suddenly, in the wake of a freak accident, Lance suffers the worst tragedy and greatest opportunity of his life. He is faced with the possibility of all the fame, fortune and popularity he has ever dreamed of, if he can only live with the knowledge of how he got there. Robin Williams eschews the schmaltzy sentimentalism of many of his earlier roles and delivers a thoughtful, dark and witty portrayal of a man doing his best against life’s odds.

On the eve of national elections, in the Indian village of Peepli, two poor farmers, Natha and Budhia, face losing their land over an unpaid government loan. In desperation they seek help from an apathetic local politician who suggests they take their own lives to benefit from a government program that aids the families of indebted deceased farmers. When a journalist overhears Budhia urge Natha to do what needs to be done, a media frenzy ignites around whether or not Natha will do the ‘honourable thing’. This satirical debut draws on India’s rural versus urban divide and balances farcical humour with satisfying seriousness.

Nicko and Joe lend their live, irreverent commentary to another stinker from their private collection of terrible movies. Beautiful young girls are being kidnapped off the streets of Manila and the general consensus is that a white slavery group is to blame. But… they’ve actually been taken by a death cult that needs their blood to remain immortal. Described as “slow moving and reeking like over cooked cabbage” this movie really will test your patience and stomach.

Nominated for the Best Documentary Academy Award, The Garden highlights the plight of the people who created a 14 acre community garden in South Central LA after the riots in 1992. The farmers have built an oasis in one of the country's most blighted neighbourhoods, growing their own food and feeding their families while creating a community among some of the poorest and most vulnerable residents of the area. But the land is precious and the City Of Los Angeles and a powerful developer want to evict them to build warehouses.

The Arbor Fri 12 — Thu 18 Nov • Gwe 12 — Iau 18 Tach UK/2010/95mins/15. Dir: Clio Barnard. With Christine Bottomley, Neil Dudgeon, Natalie Gavin.

This dissection of the life and legacy of playwright Andreas Dunbar (writer of Rita, Sue and Bob Too) offers a fascinating look at working class Britain and the effects of growing up on a gritty Bradford estate. It’s also a meditation on the subjectivity of memory as Dunbar’s children recall drastically differing versions of their upbringing. Told in voiceover as actors lip sync their lines, the candid and mutually sympathetic accounts are given stunning visual interpretations. Fact and fiction merge with re-enactments of Dunbar’s play ‘The Arbor’ on the estate that inspired it, alongside archive footage of the artist. This is a deeply resonant piece of filmmaking that leaves you sure of one thing — there’s always more than one truth.

Metropolis Sun 7 + Tue 9 Nov • Sul 7 + Maw 9 Tach Germany/1927/145mins/intertitled/PG. Dir: Fritz Lang. With Alfred Abel, Gustav Frohlich, Rudolf Klein-Rogge.

Back at Chapter following a great reaction in September, this new restoration of Lang’s silent classic is almost certainly the most complete and authentic version. Metropolis takes place in 2026, where people are divided into two groups: poor workers living beneath the ground and the rich who enjoy a futuristic city of luxury. The tense balance between the societies is realised through images that are among the most famous of the 20th century, many of which pre-empt such science fiction classics as Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. Lavish and spectacular, with elaborate sets and jaw-dropping production values, Metropolis stands as a testament to Lang’s ambitious vision of what cinema could be.

The owner of a waxworks hires a starving poet to write a series of stories about the exhibits in his museum to boost business. The four resulting portraits include tales of Jack the Ripper and Ivan the Terrible and the writer manages to weave himself and the owner’s daughter into the stories. A classic of German Expressionism, this was Paul Leni’s last film before he made his way to America. The stunning sets and ingenious lighting effects combine to create a haunting atmosphere.

The Old Dark House Sun 28 + Tue 30 Nov • Sul 28 + Maw 30 Tach USA/1932/75mins/PG. Dir: James Whale. With Melvyn Douglas, Charles Laughton, Raymond Massey, Boris Karloff.

Five travellers caught in a violent storm in a remote part of Wales take refuge in a sinister mansion inhabited by the extremely strange Femm Family. Things go from bad to worse when the brutish manservant Morgan gets drunk and releases the long pent-up brother Saul, a psychotic pyromaniac who gleefully tries to destroy the residence by setting it on fire. One of the most literate and visually striking horror films of the Thirties, this is an artful mix of chills and ghoulish gallows humour directed with a wonderful sense of the eccentric and the bizarre.

Mexico/2010/90mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Jorge Michel Grau. With Paulina Gaitan, Daniel Gimenez Cacho, Francisco Barreiro.

UK/2010/129mins/12A. Dir: Mike Leigh. With Lesley Manville, Jim Broadbent, Ruth Sheen, Imelda Staunton.

With the emotional resonance of Let The Right One In and the rawness of Guillermo Del Toro’s Cronos, this Mexican Social Realist Cannibal Film (yes, that’s right), follows a family of cannibals who must learn to fend for themselves after the death of their father. The eldest son Alfredo must take responsibility for the family but is far from ready to accept the challenge as sourcing their food involves a great deal more than a dash to the supermarket. This dark, bloody and haunting film observes how the relationships change within the grieving family as they struggle for selfacceptance whilst battling a monstrous appetite in the knowledge that the police are closing in.

Receiving a warm reaction in Cannes, Mike Leigh’s latest film is a disarmingly humane and humorous celebration of something which rarely exists in cinema — a stable, happy family. Tom, a geologist, and his counsellor wife Gerri share a respectful and contented life with their son, a community lawyer. However, orbiting their stable core is an altogether less sorted satellite of lonely, alcoholic and depressed friends and family who share their trials and darkest fears with their two best friends. The film unwinds in four chapters that follow the seasons of the year, as the ebb and flow of family life is disrupted by a melancholy refrain, building to a raw final realisation. But ultimately, Leigh encourages us to realise that this is just ‘another year’ in the life of a family and time moves on.

UK/2010/92mins/12A. Dir: Edward McHenry, Rory McHenry. With Ewan McGregor, Rosamund Pike, Richard E Grant.

This dark but loveable tale of friendship focuses on two unlikely pen pals. Mary Daisy Dinkle is a lonely, eight-year-old living in the suburbs of Melbourne with a slovenly mother and taxidermist father. She decides to write to a name she finds in a phone book - namely Max Jerry Horowitz, a fortyfour-year old obese New Yorker with Asperger’s Syndrome and a truly unique take on life. Both feeling at odds with the world they live in, their long distance friendship endures through the years as they contemplate the confusion of everyday life and offer each other creative solutions. This witty clay animation was apparently inspired by the director’s own childhood pen pal.

Told using beautiful animatronics, this is a satirical version of World War II in which the Scottish defeat the Germans during their invasion of England. Chris dreams of the chance to join the army and fight in exciting new lands rather than be stuck in the slow paced village he has grown up in. His chance comes when the Nazis hatch a plan to invade England by drilling under the English Channel and into the heart of London. With the entire British army stuck in Dunkirk and no military to defend the country, Churchill issues a final radio broadcast from his bunker in Downing Street — a cry for help. But can the nation unite in time to make one last stand against the invading forces?

This beautifully animated tale from Oscar-winning director Fernando Trueba (Belle Epoche) celebrates the music and culture of Cuba with an epic story of love and heartbreak set against the backdrops of Havana, New York and Paris in the late 1940s and early ‘50s. When Chico, a budding pianist and his young chanteuse lover, Rita, hit the jazz-bebop scenes on their way from Cuba to New York, their journey is beset by jealousy and divisive dealings with promoters who all want a cut of their talent. With an original soundtrack by legendary Cuban pianist, bandleader and composer Bebo Valdes and featuring music by Thelonius Monk, Cole Porter and Dizzy Gillespie, this is a faithful and devotional depiction of an evolutionary period in jazz history. + Intro by Glen Manby, Bebop Jazz Saxophonist and tutor in Jazz Saxophone at Cardiff University, on Sun 21 Nov.

UK/2010/90mins/part subtitled/ctba. Dir: Tim Albone and Lucy Martens.

Confrontational French filmmaker Gaspar Noé pushes the needle further into the red with this post-mortem hallucination. Shot almost entirely from the point of view of an American killed in a drug bust, the film floats through the neon miasma of Tokyo like a woozy ghost, seeking out the seedy settings that Noé loves so much. Arguments over visionary psychedelia versus exploitation are sure to ensue, and it’s worth seeing just for the chance to take sides.

Against a backdrop of war and poverty, this feature length documentary sheds new light on a nation beyond burqas, bombs, drugs and devastation. With executive production by Oscar-winning director and cricket enthusiast, Sam Mendes, Out of the Ashes follows the Afghan cricket team in their quest to qualify for the World Cup. Over two years, they go from playing on rubble pitches to batting their way around the globe and up the international league tables. We track the team as they eat fish and chips in Jersey, watch tango dancers in Argentina and swim in the sea for the first time, off the coast of Tanzania. Witty, touching and nail-biting to the end, this is a compelling story of triumph over adversity.

Our FANtasia season of fan-made filmmaking continues with a selection of Batman fan films. Over the years many professional filmmakers have attempted to define the on-screen look of the Caped Crusader, with varying degrees of success. What unites all of Batman’s cinematic incarnations is the desire to get close to the comic book depiction of the Dark Knight and his adversaries. With approval being mixed towards the official versions, some fans have taken it upon themselves to recreate Gotham City through their own eyes, and we’re presenting some of the most successful and exciting efforts.

In an act of desperate vengeance after his wife and young daughter are caught up and killed in a shoot-out between police and demonstrators in Tehran, Ali randomly kills two policemen. Hounded into the woods, he’s caught and arrested, but when they get lost in this remote and desolate landscape, the boundaries between the hunters and the hunted are difficult to perceive. Written, directed and starring Iranian director Rafi Pitts (Its Winter), this is a gripping and beautifully shot tale of one man’s struggle to come to terms with the loss of his family and a government that fails to take account for the failings of their police.

Scott Pilgrim Vs the World

The toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care centre instead of the attic, just before Andy leaves for college. It’s up to Woody to convince the others that they weren’t abandoned and to return home. This is a supportive environment screening for children with disabilities. Working with Contact A Family, we help to ensure maximum comfort for this screening. The lights are slightly raised, sound lowered and there are no ads or trailers before the film. Please contact us for information about access. During and after the film we are holding an informal workshop. For further information and to book your place please contact Jill Bartlett on 01248 670965 or email jill.bartlett@cafamily.org.uk. Please book by Mon 23 Nov. www.cafamily.org.uk

Carry on screaming ! Check out the calendar for details of our special screenings aimed at people with babies under one year old, every Friday at 11.00 am! Carry on Screaming allows parents or carers to see a film at Chapter without having to worry about their baby causing a disturbance. Free entry for babies.

Shop open: Tue — Sat 10am-8pm, Sun 2-8pm. Closed Monday

This month we’ve joined forces with east London design collective, Lazy Oaf to bring you the latest in contemporary hand screenprinting — we’ve snapped up our favourite pieces from their extensive range, including ‘Rolf Harris is my hero’ cards and some cheeky little badges. We’ve also introduced some original pieces by Tatty Devine — these delightful items are crafted from acrylic, including a lollypop necklace and colourful stackable rings, perfect as stocking fillers. If it’s unusual gifts you’re looking for, we’ve commissioned Japanese ceramicist Sawako to create a collection specifically for Chapter after spotting her beautiful, handcrafted Manga pin cushions online. And, inspired by our monthly Scrabble Sundays, we’ve acquired some Scrabble themed mugs, perfect for a chilly night in with your favourite word game. On a sadder note, I’ll soon be leaving Chapter. I’m off to seek my fortune (and have a baby). Thanks to Chapter for having me, and to all our wonderful customers — I’ll miss you all! Jemma, Shop Supervisor

The nights have got darker and colder and for me this is the perfect excuse to snuggle up with a nice Fairtrade hot chocolate with marshmallows — perfect comfort food. Some of you might have noticed that roast dinners are back, and we’re trying to make them even better with a few little extras. I’ve also made some changes to the main menu, bringing back some of the good old autumnal favourites like gourmet sausages and mash, a variety of pies and YES the beetroot and butternut squash salad is back. For you carnivores the steak is making a welcome return, and we’re serving it with a choice of sauces — creamy pepper, blue cheese or rich mushroom. Lex, Café Manager
