SUMMARY:DOCUMENTARY FILM- John Singer Sargent- Fashion & Swagger
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nJohn Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era. \nWhat made his ‘swagger’ portraits remarkable was his power over his sitters\, what they wore and how they were presented to the audience. \nThrough interviews with curators\, contemporary fashionistas and style influencers\, Exhibition on Screen’s film will examine how Sargent’s unique practice has influenced modern art\, culture and fashion. \nFilmed at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston and the Tate Britain\, London\, the exhibition reveals Sargent’s power to express distinctive personalities\, power dynamics and gender identities during this fascinating period of cultural reinvention. \nAlongside 50 paintings by Sargent sit stunning items of clothing and accessories worn by his subjects\, drawing the audience into the artist’s studio. \nSargent’s sitters were often wealthy\, their clothes costly\, but what happens when you turn yourself over to the hands of a great artist? \nThe manufacture of public identity is as controversial and contested today as it was at the turn of the 20th century\, but somehow Sargent’s work transcends the social noise and captures an alluring truth with each brush stroke. \nStep into the glittering world of fashion\, scandal and shameless self-promotion that made John Singer Sargent the painter who defined an era. \nExplore the unique creative process of the late 19th century’s favourite portrait artist and the way in which his portraits captured the spirit of a vibrant and rapidly changing age. \n

SUMMARY:FILM: Wilding (PG)
DESCRIPTION:7.5 IMDB \n★★★★”Nature is healing in this soul-enhancing\, hopeful ode to the British countryside ” Time Out \nBased on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title\, WILDING tells the incredible story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing\, four-hundred-year-old estate. \nThey set to work with their groundbreaking vision\, battling entrenched tradition and major forces along the way\, daring to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. \nRipping down the fences\, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. \nIt is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe and beyond. \n“Mapping the regeneration of over-farmed and polluted land given over to the wild in 2000\, this is a welcome story about nature’s ability to just get on with it.” The Guardian \n \n

SUMMARY:Afternoon Film: Younger (PG)
DESCRIPTION:“Exercise is not a luxury. It is the key to healthy ageing.”\nOlga Kotelko (1919-2014) World record holder – Masters’ athletics \nIn a quiet corner\, far removed from big money\, celebrity status and drug scandals lies the true value of sport. This is a film about friendship and purpose in masters athletics\, a place where every five years\, getting older means becoming the youngest. \nYounger follows a group of female athletes in their 60s\, 70s and 80s over the course of a year as they prepare to compete in masters competitions. In these competitions\, athletes compete in age groups that span five years\, 60-64\, 65-69 etc. When an athlete moves up an age group they are then the youngest\, and this means they are more likely to win or break records. So\, as they approach the top end of their classification\, they look forward to being a year older and moving up to the next group where they will be the new kid on the block again. \nDorothy\, 85\, loves the camaraderie of her gang (as she calls them). Joylyn\, 69 hopes to keep going into her 80s and 90s. Sue\, 69\, says pole vaulting has helped her cope with cancer\, twice. Noel\, 74\, loves the technical challenge of race walking.\nFor all of them\, training and competing in masters athletics is about being part of a supportive community\, achieving personal goals and living a purposeful life full of adventures and fun. In doing so\, these women show an energy\, joyful determination\, and fulfilment in older age\, that offers a powerful antidote to lazy stereotypes around ageing. \nPLUS -Short film Older: A portrait of photographer and activist\, Alex Rotas.\nDir. Danielle Sellwood. 6m 32s. \nSupported by the Friends of Bishop’s Castle Community\, Care Home and Hospital.Tea and biscuits £1\,\nNo stairs\, tables  & chairs\,\nHearing loop\,\nFree Dial–a-ride bus service from Bishops Castle and Lydbury North please phone 01588 638350\nAll Tickets £4 Accompanying Carers FREE

SUMMARY:FILM: That They May Face The Rising Sun (15)
DESCRIPTION:7.5 IMDB \nBased on internationally acclaimed Irish author John McGahern’s award winning novel of the same name\, That They May Face the Rising Sun is a vivid evocation of nature\, humanity and life itself\, set in a 1980’s rural community in Ireland. \n★★★★★”… after years ago being spell bound by the book and also moved by hearing John McGahern on radio and in real\, reading from this novel. I thought it would be hard to capture the beauty of his words in cinema.  I was not disappointed at all with the film\, in fact the opposite it was a powerful and slow moving just like the book.” Audience review \n“…an exercise in memory and a reminder to cherish the natural world. Philip King believes the film may have touched people ‘because everything is so virtual\, augmented and artificial now\, whereas this is tactile\, human\, visceral” The Irish Times\n“1980s Ireland provides a slice of the good life in Pat Collins’ ode to John McGahern’s final novel” Screen Daily \n
