An exhibition showcasing the work of a number of emerging artists participating in Parallel, a European Platform that brings together creative organisations committed to promoting crosscultural exchanges and mentorships in order to set new standards in contemporary photography.

Curated by Nikki Zoë Omes, an emerging curator based in the Netherlands, the exhibition explores a sense of self and/or the body through a variety of artistic interpretations and projects.

To what extent is our sense of self culturally determined, how do our relationships define us, and how do we fabricate our own image? Omes invites you to take the time to step into someone else’s visual world, as you might recognise something of yourself in it.

Fans of the Dardenne brothers will recognise this film’s unsentimental realism in its approach to this electrifyingly domestic nightmare with intense, restrained performances throughout. The custody battle at the heart of this story is between Miriam and Antoine, with Miriam pushing for sole custody of their son who is an unwilling witness to the testimony of his father’s past abuses.Yet Antoine wins joint custody setting in motion a chain of events that is almost unbearably tense.

Maxine Peake gives a formidable performance as an aspiring female comedian standing up to a violent husband and the sexist Northern England club circuit. Ill treatment by men is something that the eponymous heroine is grimly used to. A fitting showcase for Peake who is hilarious and heart-breaking, while Paddy Considine is cast against type as the middle-class paramour. Featuring a swooning, melancholic soundtrack by Richard Hawley.

Here To Be Heard: The Story of The Slits + Q&A Wednesday 18th April at 6:30pm UK/USA 2017 86 mins Dir: William E. Badgley Here To Be Heard tells the story of The Slits, the world’s first all-girl punk rock group, from their formation during the pioneering days of punk rock in mid ‘70s London, through their individual stories of struggle, to the reformation of the band in 2005…a time period that ends in 2010 when singer Ari Up died of cancer while trying to make this film. This story - a mix of archival footage, never before seen images, and interviews with The Slits along with Punk Rock royalty, extraordinary producers, scholars and those influenced by The Slits, can be best described by a quote from Ari Up herself: “I’m not here to be loved, I’m here to be heard”.

We are delighted to welcome Tessa Pollitt and Palmolive, two of The Slits, to QUAD along with the director William Badgley for a post screening Q&A. All The Right Notes brings the music to the party with a range of documentaries, live concert films and feature films.

Saturday 21st April at 7:30pm After two years of Purple Rain, we’re jumping ahead in the Prince timeline to show the much underrated Under The Cherry Moon. Prince stars as Christopher Tracy, who along with his cousin Tricky (Jerome Benton), lives for fun and partying on the French Riviera gigalo-ing money from rich divorcees. The story is camp, frothy and fun and features Kristin Scott Thomas in her first film role but it is the music that pops off the screen.

Featuring songs from Prince’s Parade album like the classics Kiss, Girls And Boys, Mountains and the heart-breaking Sometimes It Snows In April.

Join us in QUAD Café from 9:00pm, after the film, as we clear the tables and get our funky purple dancing shoes on! Prince requests all night long!

In April we mark the centenary of auteur Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007) by exploring some of the highlights from the career of one of the greats of European cinema.

From 1931, Universal Studios had a string of mega hits that established horror as a box office draw with crowds flocking to see the suave Bela Lugosi as Dracula, the monstrous Boris Karloff as Frankenstein’s monster, the hirsute Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man and the shocking Elsa Lanchester as the iconic Bride Of Frankenstein. We revisit some stellar highlights with weekly double bills culminating in a classic retro 3D presentations of Creature From The Black Lagoon.

Monday 2nd & Tuesday 3rd April Sweden 1957 91 mins Dir: Ingmar Bergman

Monday 9th & Tuesday 10th April Sweden 1971 113 mins Dir: Ingmar Bergman

Ingmar Bergman puts his exquisite stamp on Mozart’s masterpiece in one of the best screen versions of opera ever made. Created lovingly on a custom-made set replicating an 18th century theatre, Bergman begins in the audience before letting the tales of Tamino, Pamina and others play out.

Karin (Bibi Andersson), a happily married mother of two, surprises herself by responding in-kind to an unforeseen profession of love from David (Elliot Gould), an archaeologist visiting Sweden, whom her doctor husband (Max von Sydow) has befriended. But love, however toxically exhilarating, is seldom simple, and the deceit and David’s volatile temperament take their toll.

Introduced by Film Historian Darrell Buxton on Monday 16th April at 6:00pm.
