Welcome to QUAD’s quarterly brochure with films and events from October until December.

Sicario

Further afield we are very proud to be part of one of the most successful pavilions at this years’ Venice Biennale, the largest contemporary arts festival in the world.

As a core partner in EM15 alongside New Art Exchange (Nottingham), Beacon Art Project (Lincolnshire) and One Thoresby Street (Nottingham) we presented Doug Fishbone’s Leisureland Golf which attracted thousands of visitors young and old, and crucially as many from the local community as well as the visiting contemporary arts fans. This was accompanied by the ongoing online project Sunscreen, you can find out more about both here: em15venice.co.uk As the nights get shorter we are looking ahead to Autumn highlights at QUAD, including some blockbuster films Spectre and Suffragette, the Family Arts festival in October and the fan-tastic (sorry) season of Fans & Legends with some really inspiring and unusual exhibition events. Christmas is on the horizon too, and we are already taking corporate bookings for Christmas parties! And while it may be a little too early to wish all our customers seasonal greetings while writing this in September, we do hope QUAD has inspired and entertained you throughout 2015.

Denis Villeneuve’s (Incendies, Enemy) brutish, confident Sicario stars Emily Blunt as an FBI agent working around the US/Mexico border. Making an unpleasant discovery, she is called on by her superior Matt (Josh Brolin) and his enigmatic associate Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) to investigate the powerful cartels channelling drugs into the States. With great performances from Blunt, Brolin and a powerhouse turn by Del Toro, beautiful cinematography by Roger Deakins and a malevolent soundtrack, this is must see cinema.

Summer Nights

With over 12,000 attendees, this year’s outdoor film screenings have made QUAD’s Summer Nights Festival our most successful yet.

USA 2015 121 mins Dir: Denis Villeneuve

Doug Fishbone’s Leisureland Golf

Aside from the work you see every day at QUAD there is always lots going on behind the scenes. TechSQUAD (our in house technical gurus!) have been working closely with Leicester Museums to help them digitise their collections through advanced 3D scanning techniques to enable greater online engagement with their artifacts as well as giving their staff greater knowledge and opportunities to engage customers in person.

“A brutal action thriller with screeching feedback notes of fear and paranoia” Peter Bradshaw

Carol

Ireland/UK/Canada 2015 105 mins Dir: John Crowley

UK/USA 2015 118 mins Dir: Todd Haynes

Based on the well-loved novel by Colm Tóibin, and expertly adapted for the screen by Nick Hornby, the film follows Ellis Lacey (a captivating Saoirse Ronan) as she leaves 1950’s Ireland for brighter work prospects in New York. Initially reticent to the possibilities of her new home’s charms; new friendships and an unexpected romance buoy her as she settles into her new surroundings.

But when home ties pull her painfully back to Ireland, she is forced to choose between two men, two countries and two futures. John Crawley’s warm and affecting drama set off a bidding war after playing to rapt audiences at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Todd Haynes first feature film since 2007’s I’m Not There (although he did mastermind the excellent Mildred Pierce TV mini-series) is a gripping adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Price Of Salt. Set in the 1950s it follows the story of Therese (Rooney Mara), a young woman in her twenties who falls for Carol (Cate Blanchett) an older, married woman.

Carol received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival and was the Winner of Best Actress award for Rooney Mara’s performance as Therese.

An American lawyer is recruited by the CIA during the Cold War to help rescue a pilot detained in the Soviet Union. Based on the real life story of the U-2 spy plane shot down in 1960.

Tom Hanks returns for the first time since 2013’s Captain Phillips and Saving Mr Banks with this Cold War thriller. Directed by Steven Spielberg and from a screenplay by Matt Charman and the Coen Brothers, this is a film with pedigree.

Burnt USA 2015 Dir: John Wells

Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook) plays Adam Jones, a chef who had it all but blew it. A two-star Michelin chef with all the bad habits that entails, the former enfant terrible of the Parisian food scene has lost it all. He moves back home to London, plots his comeback and his quest to get three stars for a top restaurant run by Sienna Miller’s Helene. With a top notch supporting cast including Omar Sy, Jamie Dornan, Emma Thompson, Matthew Rhys, Daniel Bruhl, Alicia Vikander and Uma Thurman.

Set in the 1950s, The Dressmaker tells the tale of Tilly (Kate Winslet), a glamorous young woman who returns home to rural Australia, after many years in Europe. But she is not there to relax, but to settle some scores. Tilly reconciles with her ailing mother and armed only with her sewing machine, exacts sweet revenge on those who did her wrong.

Based on the best-selling novel by Rosalie Ham and directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse, her first film in 18 years.

He Named Me Malala USA 2015 87 mins Dir: Davis Guggenheim

She miraculously survived the gunshot attack and is now a leading campaigner for girls’ education globally. An inside glimpse into an extraordinary young girl’s life.

Horse Money S (Calvalo Dinheiro) Portugal 2014 103 mins Dir: Pedro Costa

Number 3 in Sight and Sound’s Best Films Of 2014 list, Horse Money is the stunning new film from award winning Portuguese auteur Pedro Costa. Shot in 4:3 aspect ratio with a mostly static camera, Costa follows Ventura through a series of haunting tableaux over the course of one night, as he travels through Lisbon slums populated by the ghosts of both his and his country’s past. What results is a memorable and experimental contemplation of Portugal’s troubled past and uncertain future, from one of the true poets of contemporary European cinema.

“Horse Money is film poetry of an altogether higher order…

One of 2015’s essential film releases” Little White Lies

The Program

UK/Ireland/Greece/France/ Netherlands 2015 118 mins Dir: Yoprgos Lanthimos

USA 2015 108 mins Dir: Ann Boden & Ryan Fleck

UK 2015 104 mins Dir: Stephen Frears

From writer-directors Boden & Fleck (Half Nelson) comes this hotly tipped comedy drama about a gambler on a losing streak.

Gerry (Ben Mendelsohn) is a talented poker player but his habit is getting the best of him. When he meets charismatic traveller Curtis (Ryan Reynolds), Gerry deems him his lucky charm and they head south towards a high stakes poker game.

An intoxicating story of compulsive gamblers, evoking the seedy, small time world of gambling with all the hope and paranoia that comes with it. Finally Mendelsohn gets to show what he can do in a leading role and he doesn’t disappoint.

An Irish sports journalist (Lee Pace) becomes convinced that Lance Armstrong’s performances during the Tour de France victories are fuelled by banned substances.

With this conviction, he starts hunting for evidence that will expose one of sport’s biggest drugs scandals.

Stephen Frears gets behind the camera for the first time since the smash hit Philomena while Ben Foster suits up as Lance Armstrong.

Winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, The Lobster is the English-language debut of director Yorgos Lanthimos, director of the sublimely weird Dogtooth.

The Lobster is set in a dystopian near future where single people, according to bizarre new rules, are sent to a hotel where they are obliged to find a romantic partner amongst the guests within 45 days, or face being transformed into an animal of their choice and released into the woods.

A surreal, hilarious and brilliantly entertaining satire that recalls British comedies like Black Mirror and Brass Eye. Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz head an eclectic cast including Léa Seydoux, John C Reilly, Olivia Colman, Ben Whishaw, Ashley Jensen and Michael Smiley.

Regression

“Colin Farrell excels in this hilarious and bracingly weird story about love, loneliness and animals” Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

Five And Dime Picture Show presents: The Room Interactive Screening Saturday 10th October USA 2003 99 mins Dir: Tommy Wiseau

The Room is a 2003 independent romantic drama film written, directed, produced by, and starring Tommy Wiseau. The film is primarily centered on the melodramatic love triangle between an amiable banker, his fiancée, and his conflicted best friend (Greg Sestero). Originally shown only in a limited number of California theatres, the film quickly developed a cult following as fans found humour in the film’s bizarre storytelling and various technical and narrative flaws.

Within a decade the film has inspired a book and video game.

Spain/Canada 2015 106 mins Dir: Alejandro Amenábar

Orion: The Man Who Would Be King UK 2015 88 mins Dir: Jeanie Finley

Mia Madre

S

Italy 2015 106 mins Dir: Nanni Moretti

Director Nanni Moretti returns to the family drama that he explored in 2001’s The Son’s Room, which won him the Palme D’Or. Mia Madre, features Margherita Buy as a director in the middle of an internal crisis dealing with the slow decline of her mother. John Turturro brings some light comic relief as a US actor appearing in the film within a film.

Official Selection at Cannes Film Festival 2015.

Nottingham resident Jeanie Finlay (Sound It Out, The Hip Hop Hoax) tells the story of Jimmy Ellis – an unknown singer plucked from obscurity and thrust into the spotlight as part of a crazy scheme that had him masquerade as Elvis back from the grave. With a fictional identity torn from the pages of the best-selling novel Orion, the backing of the legendary Sun Records and a voice that seemed to be the twin of Presley’s himself, the scheme concocted in the months after The King’s death exploded into a cult success – and the ‘Elvis is alive’ myth began.

Alejandro Amenabar (The Others, The Sea Inside) returns to filmmaking for the first time since 2009’s Agora with this psychological thriller.

Set in 1990 in Minnesota, Ethan Hawke (Boyhood) plays Detective Bruce Kenner who is investigating the strange case of John Gray (David Dencik) who admits to sexually abusing his 17 year old daughter, Angela (Emma Watson), but has no recollection of it.

The Second Mother S

Make More Noise: Suffragettes In Silent Film

Brazil 2015 112 mins Dir: Anna Muylaert

After leaving her daughter to be raised by relatives, Val spends the next 13 years as a nanny to Fabinho and live-in help to his family in Sao Paulo. She has financial stability but struggles with the guilt of failing to raise her daughter Jessica herself, and when Jessica calls, wanting to come to Sao Paulo for her exams, Val is overjoyed. But when Jessica arrives, their longed for reunion doesn’t go smoothly; she quickly begins to bring tension to the household with her candour.

This immensely appealing, warm and poignant film won the Audience Award at the Berlinale.

Spectre

Suffragette

UK 2015 Dir: Sam Mendes

UK 2015 106 mins Dir: Sarah Gavron

A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. While the new M (Ralph Fiennes) battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal a terrible truth behind SPECTRE. After the $1 billion dollar success of Skyfall, director Sam Mendes returns to guide Daniel Craig’s Bond through new and old friends and foes in the form of Christoph Waltz, Léa Seydoux, Dave Bautista, Ben Whishaw as Q and Naomie Harris as Moneypenny.

Carey Mulligan heads an all star cast playing Maud, a working class housewife who defies her husband (Ben Whishaw) and risks losing her children by taking part in the increasingly high stakes struggle for the women’s vote. This much anticipated film depicts the British women’s suffrage movement of the late 19th and early 20th century. A stirring story of a crusade that, surprisingly, has not been explored in such detail on the big screen before. Mulligan is joined on screen by Meryl Streep playing central figure Emmeline Pankhurst, Helena Bonham Carter, Brendan Gleeson, Romola Garai and Anne-Marie Duff.

Taxi Steve Jobs

Iran 2015 82 mins Dir: Jafar Panahi

USA/UK 2015 Dir: Danny Boyle

Danny Boyle tackles the life of the late CEO of Apple Inc. in this biopic following Jobs, his passion and ingenuity that have been the driving force behind the digital age, but also cost him in his private life. From a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin and starring Michael Fassbender as Jobs, alongside Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Jeff Daniels and Katherine Waterson.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens USA 2015 Dir: J. J. Abrams

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…those words will be writ large across cinema screens this December for the first time in ten years (32 years if you don’t count the prequels!). Little is known about the story but old favourites Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) return alongside new characters played by Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, Lupita Nyon’o and John Boyega. The most anticipated movie of 2015 has some way to go to top this year’s best blockbusters (Mad Max: Fury Road, Jurassic World).

In 2010, Jafar Panahi was arrested for making a film against the Iranian regime and banned from making any films. Following This Is Not A Film and Closed Curtain, Taxi is his third film since the ban! Shot entirely within the confines of a taxi, we see Tehran through the eyes of a taxi driver (Panahi) and the people who get in his cab. Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.

This Is Not A Cartoon Tuesday 24th November at 6:30pm

This programme of films brings you the very best international animated shorts rarely seen outside of festivals.

Your heart might race, your spine might shiver, your sides might split and tears might flow. The films on show present both the technical brilliance and superb storytelling that animation has to offer. This is fun, this is drama, this is excitement, this is action – but remember, This Is Not A Cartoon. We hope to be joined by one of the filmmakers for a Q&A following this screening.

This BFI Collection compiles over 20 silent films from the BFI National Archive, combining gloriously anarchic comedies, newsreels and documentaries with a specially commissioned score by Lillian Hanley, to create a fascinating insight into the early 20th Century struggle for women’s suffrage.

Valley Of Love France 2015 91 mins Dir: Guillaume Nicloux

Isabelle (Isabelle Huppert) and Gerard (Gerard Depardieu) go to a strange appointment in Death Valley, California.

Killing Joke exploded onto the British post-punk music scene in 1978. They rapidly built a mythical status from their esoteric beliefs, controversial imagery and genre-defining experimentation; and inspired the likes of Nirvana, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden. Through a barrage of music, archive footage and personal interviews shot over the last 12 years, The Death And Resurrection Show provides the definitive story of Killing Joke – from rituals at Stonehenge to recording sessions in the Pyramids.

Friday 23rd October at 8:45pm Japan 2006 90 mins Dir Satoshi Kon

In this spectacular anime a group of scientists invent a device that allows therapists to enter their client’s dreams. When a “dream terrorist” steals it, all hell breaks loose and it is up to Atsuko, codenamed “Paprika”, to retrieve it.

Lady Terminator (Advised

)

Friday 11th December at 8:45pm Indonesia 1988 85 mins Dir: H. Tjut. Djalil

When a malevolent spirit possesses an American holidaying in the country, ‘Lady Terminator’ becomes an unstoppable killing machine and the police are ill prepared for what is about to hit them. Lifting whole scenes from the James Cameron classic and adding a huge heap of crazy on top, Lady Terminator must be seen to be believed.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space Friday 9th October at 8:30pm USA 1988 88 mins Dir: Stephen Chiodo

Looking For Love

Once Upon A Time In America: Extended Director’s Cut Sunday 27th September at 1:30pm USA 1984 223 mins Dir: Sergio Leone

This epic tale of Jewish gangsters and their rise to prominence in the underworld of the New York Crime scene from the Prohibition era 1920s to the 1960s is a tour de force of big screen film-making. Featuring Robert De Niro as Noodles and a star turn from James Woods, Sergio Leone’s final masterpiece arrives on QUAD screens complete with an additional 30 minutes.

The Black Panthers: The Vanguard of the Revolution Friday 16th October at 8.45pm USA 2015 113 mins Dir: Stanley Nelson

Charting the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party, one of the 20th Century’s most alluring and controversial organisations, born in the midst of the civil rights movement, this documentary seems remarkably relevant considering the recent clashes between police and protestors in Ferguson and Baltimore.

F ANS & LEGENDS SCREENING DAY Chinese myths, legends and literature have all had a huge influence on both the big and small screens and to accompany the RoCH Fans & Legends season at QUAD we present a series of screenings of works that all reflect this influence.

In Ashes Of Time, acclaimed director Wong Kar-Wai (2046, The Grandmaster) invents a prequel storyline for characters taken from novelist Louis Cha’s Condor Heroes Trilogy and creates a modern day wuxia (martial arts hero) classic, full of majestic swordplay and gorgeous cinematography.

Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, adapted from a novel by the Chinese writer

Wang Dulu, was one of the first wuxia films to receive Hollywood funding and went on to win four Oscars and become be a worldwide hit.

Wilson Yip’s Ip Man kick-started a craze in Hong Kong cinema for films based around the real life martial arts teacher responsible for the tutelage of the young Bruce Lee, and indicates that myths and legends are still being created in modern day Chinese culture.

And finally, the late 1970s Japanese television show Monkey, an enduring cult hit in the UK based on the 16th century Chinese novel Journey To The West by Wu Cheng’En, demonstrates the huge international reach and appeal of tales taken from Chinese culture and mythology.

CINE KIDS Cine Kids are family focussed screenings of popular family titles held every Saturday at 3:30pm and Sunday at 1:30pm, and also daily during school holidays. Cine Kids Membership covers the whole family living at the same address until the youngest child is aged 16.

Ashes Of Time Redux

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Saturday 7th November, 1:00pm 1994/2008 Hong Kong 93 mins Dir: Wong Kar-Wai

Saturday 7th November, 3:15pm 2000 Taiwan/China/Hong Kong/ USA 120mins Dir: Ang Lee

Feng (Leslie Cheung) is a talented swordsman who has allowed himself to become bitter and cynical.

Living the life of a desert vagabond, he employs other swordsman to carry out the contract killings he no longer wants to handle himself.

Featuring a cast of Hong Kong stars including Tony Leung, Bridget Lin and Maggie Cheung, Ashes Of Time was a mammoth wuxia (martial arts hero) production which suffered huge schedule and budget overruns.

Released in a version director Wong considered unfinished in 1994, it was finally completed to his satisfaction in 2008 and stands as a hugely entertaining and beautifully shot entry into the genre.

Master Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) asks his friend Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) to ensure a valuable and ancient sword reaches its new owner safely. But the sword is soon stolen by a mysterious and talented martial artist and the pair must use both their wits and fighting skills to retrieve it. Wuxia cinema hit the big time with this worldwide hit from director Lee (The Life Of Pi), which won Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction and Best Score.

A chance to re-acquaint yourself with a classic of world cinema before a belated sequel arrives in cinemas next year.

“Magnificent eye candy” Financial Times

“Both electrifyingly exciting and sweetly romantic” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Ip Man Saturday 7th November, 9:00pm 2008 Hong Kong 108 mins Dir: Wilson Yip

Ip Man was a hugely influential martial arts grandmaster who specialised in the discipline Wing Chun and counted Bruce Lee amongst his students. This film focuses on his early life during the 1930s in the city of Foshan.

Despite his great talent Ip Man (Donnie Yen) tries to keep a low profile and focus on his training, but when the second Sino-Japanese war breaks out and throws the city into chaos Ip Man finds himself compelled to act. Ip Man was a huge hit on release in Hong Kong and is a trendsetting movie. Many other films featuring the character have followed in its wake but Ip Man remains the original and best.

Monkey magic!

Brief Encounter

Blue Velvet

UK 1945 85 mins Dir: David Lean

Monday 23rd – Thursday 26th November (excluding 24th) USA 1986 120 mins Dir: David Lynch

At a small café on a railway station, housewife Laura Jesson meets doctor Alec Harvey. Although they are both already married, they gradually fall in love with each other. They continue to meet every Thursday at the café, although they know that their love is impossible.

“It’s the loveliest period piece imaginable” The Independent This screening will be introduced by a guest speaker.

After finding a severed ear in a field, a young teenager (Kyle MacLachlan) discovers a sinister underworld hiding in his seemingly idyllic home town. David Lynch delves into the polished veneer and the white picket fences of suburbia to find the black heart that beats beneath. With a truly terrifying performance by Dennis Hopper as Frank.

This screening on Wednesday 25th November at 8:45pm will be introduced by Darrell Buxton

Breakfast At Tiffany’s Friday 4th – Monday 6th December USA 1961 115 mins Dir: Blake Edwards

Audrey Hepburn, the ‘It girl’ of the 1960’s, is the delectable Holly Golightly. When struggling writer Paul Varjak moves into a New York apartment building, he becomes intrigued by his stylish but quirky neighbour. With the mean reds, a stupid no name cat and the wonderful Moon River, this is a classic movie that proves that fashion may be fleeting but style is eternal.

This screening will be introduced by a guest speaker.

The Big Knights

Pan

UK 2015 70 mins Dir: Neville Astley & Mark Barker

USA 2015 Dir: Joe Wright

In the far off land of Borovia, where dragons are fierce, witches are wicked, scientists are insane, the economy is bad and the television is in black & white, stands Castle Big: home of the Big Knights. The Big Knights revolves around the Knightly Brothers Sir Boris (the finest swordsman in the world), Sir Morris (the most enthusiastic) and their noble pets, Sir Horace the dog and Sir Doris the hamster. From the award winning animators behind Peppa Pig and Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom, this is packed with all the wit and charm audience have come to expect.

Cine Kids Membership is £12 and available from QUAD Box office, please see bit.ly/quadcinekids or call QUAD Box office for details of the next film screenings.

QUAD CHRISTMAS SEASON Ho-Ho-Ho! It’s Christmas!

Frozen

Asterix And Obelix: Mansion Of The Gods

USA 2013 108 mins Dir: Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee

France/Belgium 2014 85 mins Dir: Louis Clichy, Alexandre Astier

Feel Good Film Club She’s Gotta Have It Friday 6th November at 8:00pm USA 1986 84 mins Dir: Spike Lee

Nola Darling is a young and attractive independent woman living in Brooklyn and juggling her love life.

She’s dating three different men and is attracted to each of them, for different reasons, but each one is pushing her to choose. Spike Lee’s feature directorial debut is a landmark of independent US cinema.

Introduced by Radio Derby’s Devon Daley and don’t go straight home afterwards as he will be hosting an after party in the QUAD Café Bar.

QUAD CHRISTMAS SEASON Ho-Ho-Ho! It’s Christmas!

The Shop Around The Corner Friday 11th – Monday 14th December USA 1940 99 mins Dir: Ernst Lubitsch

Set in a lovingly evoked Budapest in the run-up to Christmas, Lubitsch’s deliciously delicate comedy focuses on the various obstacles blocking the path of potential lovers James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, fellow workers in a gossip-ridden emporium who are unaware they’re in fact courting one another by mail in an anonymous correspondence. The director’s fabled ‘touch’, here at its lightest, contributes to what is arguably Hollywood’s most exquisitely romantic depiction of the old central Europe. Perfect seasonal fare.

Caesar and the Romans once again attempt to storm the Gaulish village with a new plan to absorb the villagers into Roman culture by having an estate built next to the village to start a new Roman colony.

Based on the comic book Asterix et Le Domaine des Dieux, the film has all the favourites back for more animated adventures.

Peter Pan flies again on the big screen! A boy is spirited away from his home to Neverland and embarks on a series of adventures fraught with dangers, and discovers his destiny.

With Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfriend, Rooney Mara, Cara Delevingne, Kathy Burke and Paul Kaye.

Hotel Transylvania 2 USA 2015 Dir: Genndy Tartakovsky

When the old-old-old fashioned vampire Vlad (Mel Brooks) arrives at the hotel for an improtu family get-together, Hotel Transylvania is in for a collision of supernatural old school and modern day cool!

Back by popular demand!

Anna teams up with rugged mountain man Kristoff and sets off on a journey to find her missing sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in an eternal winter. With mountainous conditions, mystic trolls and a snowman named Olaf, the two race to save their kingdom.

EXHIBITIONS FANS & LEGENDS SEASON A season at QUAD inspired by newly commissioned work by the artist susan pui san lok, based on The Condor Trilogy of Chinese martial arts influenced books, fantasy films and TV shows. The season features exhibitions, talks, film screenings and a host of educational activities and events that not only examine the place of the martial arts in the public consciousness, but also other legends and pop cultural phenomena in wider society. Fans & Legends as a season also examines the role of the fans who in many instances dedicate much of their free time to follow something they feel passionate about. #FansandLegends

Until 15th November 2015 QUAD Gallery

RoCH Fans & Legends features new commissioned video works and digital animations by susan pui san lok that draw on fan uploads of over forty different media adaptations of The Condor Trilogy, a classic ‘new wuxia’ epic first published in the 1950s. ‘RoCH’ stands for Return of the Condor Heroes, the second book in the trilogy; wuxia is a genre of Chinese fiction, television and cinema often featuring the adventures of male and female ‘knight errants’, martial artists, and swordplay. RoCH Fans & Legends explores some of the genre’s fantasies, landscapes, and archetypes, the trilogy’s

RoCH Fans & Legends is commissioned by QUAD and the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (CFCCA), in partnership with Animate Projects and the University of Salford. RoCH launches at QUAD with a limited edition artist book.

The project will then tour to CFCCA as part of their 30th anniversary programme, accompanied by a richly illustrated e-publication. RoCH Fans & Legends is supported using public funding by Arts Council England, with additional funding from Middlesex University and University of Salford.

Taking inspiration from susan pui san lok’s newly commissioned body of work RoCH: Fans & Legends, this exhibition explores ideas of adaptation and appropriation.

Since its emergence in the late 1950s, the Condor Heroes series has been adapted over 40 times in various forms, from novels, television, films and video games. These adaptations could be considered as fan fiction, in the way they are inspired by the original series but introduce new, sometimes radical, additions to The Condor Trilogy ‘universe’. Yet this figure does not include the vast number of fan fiction works published on forums and websites by fans of the series from across the globe. Crouching Fan, Hidden Legend examines how far reaching a story can be, and how it can evolve or change through adaption and appropriation. The exhibition positions fan produced material centre stage, and the inspiration point for new artwork to be created by artists, flipping the usual processes and relationships on the head.

Screened Live Thursday 15th October at 6:45pm SOLD OUT Encores: Monday 2nd November at 6:45pm & Tuesday 3rd November at 2:00pm UK 2015 240 minutes Dir: Lyndsey Turner

Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy. As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralysed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state.

Live by Satellite from the Vaudeville Theatre

The Importance Of Being Earnest Thursday 8th October at 6:45pm UK 2015 150 minutes Dir: Adrian Noble

David Suchet (Poirot) stars as the formidable Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s much loved masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest, which is being broadcast live from London’s Vaudeville Theatre. Directed by Adrian Noble (Amadeus, The King’s Speech) Wilde’s superb satire on Victorian manners is one of the funniest plays in the English language – the delightful repartee and hilarious piercing of hypocrisy and pomposity will make you laugh out loud.

Two bachelor friends, the adorable dandy Algenon Moncrieff and the utterly reliable John Worthing J.P (Downton Abbey’s Michael Benz) lead double lives to court the attentions of exquisitely desirable Gwendolyn Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. The gallants must then grapple with the riotous consequences of their deceptions – and with the formidable Lady Bracknell.

RSC Live: Henry V Broadcast Live from Stratfordupon-Avon by the Royal Shakespeare Company Wednesday 21st October at 6:45pm

Henry IV is dead and Hal is King.

With England in a state of unrest, he must leave his rebellious youth behind, striving to gain the respect of his nobility and people. Laying claim to parts of France and following an insult from the French Dauphin, Henry gathers his troops and prepares for a war that he hopes will unite his country. RSC Artistic Director Gregory Doran continues his exploration of Shakespeare’s History Plays with Henry V performed in the 600th anniversary year of the Battle of Agincourt. Following his performance as Hal in Henry IV Parts I & II, Alex Hassell returns as Henry V.

by National Theatre Live, comes to UK cinemas. Golden Globe® winner and Academy Award® nominee James Franco and Tony Award® nominee Chris O’Dowd star in the highly-anticipated screenings of this ‘riveting, powerful production’ (Independent).

This landmark revival of Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck’s play is a powerful portrait of the American spirit and a heartbreaking testament to the bonds of friendship.

“James Franco crackles with intensity. Chris O’Dowd is a revelation”

Director Sally Cookson brings her celebrated production to the National. After almost 170 years, Charlotte Brontë’s story is as inspiring as ever. This bold and dynamic production uncovers one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfilment. From her beginnings as a destitute orphan, Jane Eyre’s spirited heroine faces life’s obstacles head-on, surviving poverty, injustice and the discovery of bitter betrayal before taking the ultimate decision to follow her heart.

NTLive: As You Like It

Sung in English with subtitles

Filled with fun and farce, English National Opera’s classic staging of this sunny adventure follows the escapades of the barber Figaro as he assists Count Almaviva to prise the beautiful yet feisty Rosina away from her lecherous guardian Dr. Bartolo. Set in an elegant vision of 18th-century Seville, Christopher Allen conducts Rossini’s sparkling score, packed full of wit and playful tunes.

Andrew Shore takes the role of Dr Bartolo, alongside Kathryn Rudge as Rosina and rising baritone Morgan Pearse as Figaro.
