Exhibitions Co-Lab Season Until 5 April Anna Bunting-Branch Warm Worlds and Otherwise Gallery One Warm Worlds and Otherwise features Virtual Reality artwork commissioned by Wysing Arts Centre, The Mechatronic Library, FACT and QUAD. The exhibition relates to Bunting-Branch’s interest in the encounters between feminist practice and science fiction - engaging painting, digital animation and Virtual Reality to explore ideas of worldbuilding, embodied perception and technologies of representation.
Dryden Goodwin: Alongside Gallery Two Alongside (2019) is a sensory study by artist Dryden Goodwin of the working life of a social care worker, supporting three young men as they access the world beyond the day-care centre. This most intimate and delicate of jobs is rendered through Goodwin’s camera lens, pencil drawings and layered soundtrack, to create a moving inquiry into proximity and empathy. Accompanying the 24-minute film are the original drawings created by Goodwin during the making of the film.

FORMAT International Photography Festival Off Year The New Vernacular Adji Djeye
QUAD Gallery 25 April - 28 June Artists: Adji Djeye, Bonolo Kavula, Mary Sibande, Ruth Ossai, Talia Ramkilawan Curated by Azu Nwagbogu, African Artists Foundation, Lagos Photo, Nigeria, with Maria Pia Bernaioni The New Vernacular captures the agency of young artists working from the African continent who resist previous notions of self by constantly reinventing themselves to challenge perceptions, identities and previously upheld parameters that limit and inhibit their ability to negotiate a rapidly transforming world. Despite this forwardlooking agency, the artists are all concerned with the convergence of history and presence. They adopt rare fusion of visual cues, semaphores, self-portraiture and linguistics in fusing these narratives. At other times there really isn’t a narrative or an argument but the revelation of a wound, an injustice or a missed opportunity.

Exhibitions
These contemporary artists create a novel and universal language with the aim to break down long-established confines in the role that visual language plays in society. The artists selected for this show display an understanding of how disparate elements such as objects, sounds, images and intention come together in image-making, sculpture, drawing to fashion new methods of historiography. All of these different ideals lead us to discover new notions of self, while exploring the changing visual vocabulary of society today. Check the menu in QUAD Café Bar for special dishes relating to the exhibition, see the FORMAT website for an exhibition related music playlist and QUAD cinema programme for related films.

Deerskin
Programmer’s choice
(S) Subtitled France 2019 77 mins Dir: Quentin Dupieux To say that Georges has a fetish for deerskin would be an understatement. In fact, his dedication to his textile of choice is so unwavering, the recent divorcé blows his entire life savings on the vintage fringe jacket of his dreams.With nothing but his new coat for company, Georges holes up in a remote country inn where he imagines being the only jacket-wearer in the world.When he meets an aspiring film editor named Denise (Portrait Of A Lady On Fire’s Adèle Haenel), Georges masquerades as an independent filmmaker, concocting a bizarre plan to make his outerwear fantasy a reality. Boasting a riotous performance from Jean Dujardin as the pelt-loving evangelist, the ever-unpredictable Quentin Dupieux’s (Rubber) wickedly acerbic, deliciously deranged black comedy is a tailor-made cult classic.

Intrigued by the story of a Japanese company that, for a fee, can supply people to imitate absent family members, Werner Herzog flew to Tokyo and filmed this scripted series of moments in the life of Family Romance, LLC. In an uncanny bit of re-enactment, the company’s founder Yuichi Ishii plays himself, as the man who performs multiple impersonations a day to fulfil people’s wishes. Amusing and disturbing in equal measure, Herzog’s film questions the bizarre nature of social systems that we put in place to deal with our random existence and probes our blurry relationships to truth and love.

(S) Subtitled Romania 2019 98 mins Dir: Corneliu Porumboiu
(S) Subtitled France 2019 104 mins Dir: Ladj Ly Set in the aftermath of France winning the World Cup in 2005, the neighbourhood atmosphere should be one of happiness but in tough impoverished banlieue Montfermeil, also the backdrop of Victor Hugo’s classic historical novel, new arrival Stephane (Damien Bonnard) immediately meets with trouble in the local anti-crime squad. Working alongside unscrupulous colleagues Chris (Alex Manenti) and Gwada (DJebril Zonga), Stephane struggles to maintain order between the local gangs. When an arrest turns unexpectedly violent, all three officers must reckon with the aftermath to keep the neighbourhood from spiralling out of control. Nominated for Best International Film at 2020 Oscars.
Cristi, a police inspector in Bucharest, has an ambivalent relationship with the law. Drawn into a high stakes heist by the glamourous and enigmatic Gilda, he finds himself travelling to the Canary Islands where he has to learn the local dialect - a secret whistling language - to pull off the biggest deal of his life. Director Porumboiu tackles subjects including loyalty, corruption, bureaucracy and semantics, all packaged as a stylish Hitchcockian thriller.

Bicycle Thieves
Blithe Spirit
(S) Subtitled
UK 2020 Dir: Edward Hall
Italy 1948 89 mins Dir: Vittorio De Sica Hailed around the world as one of the greatest movies ever made, the Academy Award -winning Bicycle Thieves, directed by Vittorio De Sica, defined an era in cinema. In povertystricken post-war Rome, a man is on his first day of a new job that offers hope of salvation for his desperate family when his bicycle, which he needs for work, is stolen. With his young son in tow, he sets off to track down the thief. Simple in construction and profoundly rich in human insight, Bicycle Thieves embodies the greatest strengths of the Italian neorealist movement: emotional clarity, social rectitude and brutal honesty.
Based on the classic stage play by Noel Coward, Blithe Spirit tells the story of a spiritualist medium who holds a séance for a writer suffering from writer’s block but accidentally summons the spirit of his deceased first wife. All well and good, aside from the fact that his current wife of five years is less than pleased! Starring Judi Dench taking on the role of Madame Arcati, famously played by Margaret Rutherford in the 1945 film version, alongside Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, Michele Dotrice, James Fleet and Emilia Fox.

UK 2020 113 mins Dir: Euros Lyn
USA 2019 100 mins Dir: Ira Sachs
In a sleepy Welsh village, Jan Vokes (Toni Collette) struggles to find meaning in her life while waiting on tables at the local pub. One night, a chance encounter with an arrogant customer, Howard Davies (Damien Lewis), a former racehorse syndicate leader, inspires her to take on a new challenge. Jan recruits neighbours and barflies alike in a crazy scheme to raise and breed a champion racehorse. Welsh director Euros Lyn (Doctor Who, His Dark Materials) directs this remarkable true story starring Joanna Page, Peter Davison, Katherine Jenkins, Owen Teale and Sian Phillips.
Unfolding over the course of a late summer’s day in the fabled resort town of Sintra, Portugal, Frankie follows three generations who have gathered for a vacation organized by the family matriarch (Isabelle Huppert). In this fairy tale setting, husbands and wives, parents and children, friends and lovers, stirred by their romantic impulses discover the cracks between them, as well as unexpected depth of feeling.

Ema

Her toxic marriage to older choreographer Gaston (Gael Garcia Bernal) is beyond repair, following a rash decision to hand their adopted child back into the hands of the state. Racked with regret, she sets out on a mission to get her son back, not caring who she’ll need to fight, seduce or destroy to make it happen. Knife sharp, it’s a whirlwind of provocative, no-holds-barred anarchy, anchored by a searing central performance from rising star Di Girolamo.

Hope Gap
TBC
UK 2019 101 mins Dir: William Nicholson The intimate, intense and loving story of Hope Gap charts the life of Grace (Annette Bening) and Edward (Bill Nighy) who live in a small seaside town under the cliffs called Hope Gap. When their son Jamie comes to visit, Edward tells him he has met someone else and plans to leave Grace (after 29 years) that same day. Deriving from William Nicholson’s perception of his own parents’ separation, the narrative tracks the unravelling of three lives.
White Riot UK/USA 2019 80 mins Dir: Rubika Shah This engaging, evocative and prize-winning documentary incorporates archive footage and contemporary interviews to explore how London protest movement Rock Against Racism (RAR) confronted British fascists head-on. In the late 1970’s Britain was in turmoil, with industrial strife and a lurch to the right which established the racist National Front as an ugly presence on the streets and a potential force in parliament. A timely and unfortunately still very relevant film, full of contemporary echoes.
Love Sarah

The evenings, however, reveal a boiling vendetta. Men who cross her path are in serious danger, as beautiful and brutal Cassie seeks to heal from her past by doling out scathing lessons. When Ryan re-enters her life, so does the possibility of healing. Killing Eve’s Emerald Fennell steps behind the camera for her debut feature.

Alfred Hitchcock legendary, influential Oscar-nominated thriller turns 60 this year. Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) goes on the run after stealing $40,000 from one of her employer’s clients.
