SUMMARY:FILM: La Chimera (15)
DESCRIPTION:Just out of jail and still searching for his late beloved Beniamina\, crumpled English archaeologist Arthur reconnects with his wayward crew of tombaroli accomplices – a happy-go-lucky collective of itinerant grave-robbers who survive by looting Etruscan tombs and fencing the ancient treasures they dig up. Arthur isn’t interested in the artefacts\, though; he’s seeking a legendary door to the underworld\, and to Beniamina. \nclever\, ambitious\, and funny throughout\, but it also works as an intelligent meditation on our attitudes toward life\, love\, and death. A group of archaeologists and the black market of historical artifacts. \n7.4 IMDB \n\n\n\n★★★★★Alice Rohrwacher’s uproarious adventure teems with life. Set in 1980s Tuscany\, Rohrwacher’s captivating film follows a lovelorn Englishman plundering Italy’s historical artefacts with a bizarre gang. The Guardian \n“Is the Perfect Kind of Film to Get Lost In.”  Time \n\n\n\nRomantic drama film written and directed by Alice Rohrwacher\, Staring osh O’Connor\, Carol Duarte\, Vincenzo Nemolato\, Alba Rohrwacher and Isabella Rossellini. La chimera was selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. \nIn Italian and English w/subtitles

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

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: 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: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: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (12A)
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n7.0 IMDB\nThree generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River after an unexpected family tragedy. Still haunted by Beetlejuice\, Lydia’s life soon gets turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter discovers a mysterious portal to the afterlife. When someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times\, the mischievous demon gleefully returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem. \n★★★★  “It’s not every day that a sequel manages to surpass the original. But Tim Burton’s sequel to his 1988 cult classic Beetlejuice Beetlejuice may just manage to do so. Bringing back most of the original’s cast (bar Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis whose ‘presence’ (get it?) is briefly missed but not to the detriment of the film) it’s clear to see that everyone is having fun in this silly follow up.”  KickBackTimes \n“Tim Burton has fun with pleasingly idiosyncratic sequel “.The Guardian

The band has headlined several of the prestigious UK’s Old Time American Music and Dance Festivals; has appeared on radio\, at folk clubs\, festivals\, and music and literary venues throughout the UK. \n\nGrey Wolf was born in 2010 when Jim Allen and Martin Thomas began playing as a duo blending their shared love of American old time music with British folk music.  These two gifted multi instrumentalists were joined by a third some years later – the immensely talented Ben Walsh.  The fourth member of the band\, widely experienced and versatile bass player Andy Offer joined them in 2021. \n\nThe Birmingham News said of Grey Wolf’s performance at the Kitchen Garden Cafe in Birmingham “There’s an equality to the group’s spread of sound\, but each player is continually soloing-in-motion\, rising up in turn\, according to where the ears of the audience might alight at any one moment”. \n\n\n\n \nAdults £15 Students / Child £5 \n

SUMMARY:ROB: THE TALES OF HOFFMANN (Offenbach)
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Opera THE TALES OF HOFFMANN \n[New Production] \nFour women: four curious love stories. Juan Diego Flórez leads a fantastic cast in Offenbach’s dream-like opera. \nThrough the haze of the years\, a poet remembers the women he loved. But when it comes to matters of the heart\, nothing is as it seems. Particularly when the devil himself is involved… \n  \nJourneying back to his school days\, Hoffmann relives his childhood romance with Olympia\, a model student in every sense. Doomed love follows him into adulthood\, where the dancer\, Antonia\, is taken from him too soon. Meanwhile\, the sensual courtesan Giulietta has her own secret agenda. As memory and fantasy becomes increasingly blurred\, will Hoffmann find the enigmatic Stella before it is too late? \n  \n  \nRunning time: 245 minutes\, Two intervals \nSung in French with subtitles \nCaptured live November 2024 \n \nCast: \n  \nHOFFMANN Juan Diego Flórez \nLINDORF/COPPÉLIUS/DR MIRACLE/DAPERTUTTO Alex Esposito \nOLYMPIA Olga Pudova \nANTONIA Ermonela Jaho \nGIULIETTA Marina Costa-Jackson \nNICKLAUSSE Julie Boulianne \nANDRÈS/COCHENILLE/FRANTZ/PITICHINACCIO Christophe Mortagne \nSPALANZANI Vincent Ordonneau \nCRESPEL Alastair Miles \nMUSE OF POETRY/SPIRIT OF ANTONIA’S MOTHER Christine Rice \nLUTHER Jeremy White \nHERMANN/SCHLEMIL Grisha Martirosyan \nNATHANAEL Ryan Vaughan Davies \nORCHESTRA Orchestra of the Royal Opera House \nCONCERT MASTER Sergey Levitin \nCHORUS DIRECTOR William Spaulding \nCHORUS Royal Opera Chorus \n  \nCreatives: \n  \nDIRECTOR Damiano Michieletto \nCONDUCTOR Antonello Manacorda \nMUSIC Jacques Offenbach \nLIBRETTO Jules Barbier \nSET DESIGNER Paolo Fantin \nCOSTUME DESIGNER Carla Teti \nLIGHTING DESIGNER Alessandro Carletti \nCHOREOGRAPHER Chiara Vecchi
