ART Chris Rigby

Between Rocks and Hard Places Bonhoga Gallery

28 February - 12 April Chris Rigby is a landscape painter whose work embraces the physical process of representing the nature of things. The work in this exhibition follows on from his 2012 exhibition 30 Days of Light at Shetland Museum and Archives and represents a deepening of his relationship with Shetland. During a wet and windy five week stay last year he returned to explore much that he had missed the first time round while making further exciting discoveries in his favourite locations such as Muckle Roe.

Public opening: Friday 27 February 6pm - 7.30pm 4

Lower Gallery: Paul Boyle Hullscapes

Julie Dennison Upper Foyer, Mareel

Julie Dennison is currently a full time student in the first year of her BA (Hons) Contemporary Textiles at Shetland College UHI. The majority of these woodcut prints were created when she studied NC Art and Design between August 2013 and July 2014. She really took to creating woodcuts during the printmaking module and, under Paul Bloomer’s tuition and support, thrived on it and has continued to create illustrative prints featuring landscapes and recognisable Shetland scenes. A number of prints feature a recurring character, a grouchy Shetland fisherman named Tammie o’ Stova, who features in a story which Julie is yet to write.

Work is for sale.

If you would like to make a purchase please ask a member of staff at the main reception.

FILM The Interview (15) Don’t miss this opportunity to see the film they tried to ban on the big screen. Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show “Skylark Tonight”. When they discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show, they land an interview with him in an attempt to legitimize themselves as journalists.

As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the two least-qualified men imaginable, to assassinate Kim Jong-un.

It Follows (15) After a strange sexual encounter, a teenager finds herself haunted by nightmarish visions and the inescapable sense that something is after her.

Me, Myself and Mum (15) French language film with English subtitles. Showing as part of LGBT History Month. The French comedian Guillaume Gallienne brings his autobiographical one man show to the big screen in this quirky twist on a traditional coming out tale. Raised by his domineering mother as the daughter she never had, effeminate and theatrical, everyone around him assumes Guillaume is gay. Little by little, through a series of painful experiences, Guillaume comes to discover who he really is, and is finally able to break free from his mother’s controlling influence.

BY POPULAR DEMAND The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (12A) The conclusion of Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy, starring Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage and Sir Ian McKellen.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies brings to a close the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed Erebor and vast treasure from the dragon Smaug, Thorin Oakenshield sacrifices friendship and honor in seeking the Arkenstone, despite Smaug’s fiery wrath and desperate attempts by the Hobbit Bilbo to make him see reason.

American Sniper (15) U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) takes his sole mission - to protect his comrades - and becomes one of the most lethal snipers in American history. His pinpoint accuracy not only saves countless lives but also makes him a prime target of insurgents. Despite grave danger and his struggle to be a good husband and father to his family back in the States, Kyle serves four tours of duty in Iraq. However, when he finally returns home, he finds that he cannot leave the war behind.

American Sniper marks director Clint Eastwood’s return to violence, and especially the gun-related violence that’s hallmarked his greatest films.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (PG) The sequel to the highly successful The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

8 months on and the hotel is full to bursting. Co-managers Muriel Donnelly (Maggie Smith) and Sonny Kapoor (Dev Patel) have a dream of expansion, and they’ve found just the place: ‘The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’. But plans for a traditional Indian wedding threaten to derail the process.

The Sound of Music (U)

Sunday 15 March

Treat your Mum this Mother’s Day with this timeless musical classic. A tuneful, heartwarming story based on the real life story of the Von Trapp Family singers, one of the world’s best-known concert groups in the era immediately preceding World War II. Julie Andrews plays the role of Maria, the tomboyish postulant at an Austrian abbey who becomes a governess in the home of a widowed naval captain with seven children, and brings a new love of life and music into the home.

Taken 3 (12A) Ex-government operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) finds his life is shattered when he’s falsely accused of a murder that hits close to home.

Pursued by a savvy police inspector, Mills employs his particular set of skills to track the real killer and exact justice.

Mareel Cinema

Sunday 1 March @ 1.40pm From London’s West End - Richard Armitage stars in Arthur Miller’s classic American drama brought vividly to life in this visceral new production by internationally acclaimed director Yaël Farber.

In a small tight-knit community in Salem, Massachusetts, personal grievances collide with lust and superstition, fuelling widespread hysteria. Miller’s timeless parable attacks the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.

Yaël Farber is a multiple award-winning director and playwright. Her production of Mies Julie won a string of international awards at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival, was named one of the Top Ten Productions of 2012 by The New York Times, and Top Five Productions of 2012 by The Guardian.

The Crucible was captured live at The Old Vic, London during its 2014 season.

Mareel Cinema

Sunday 29 March

Love’s Labour’s Lost is a comedy about young love, with an unexpected and unsettling ending.

Summer 1914. In order to dedicate themselves to a life of study, the King and his friends take an oath to avoid the company of women for three years. No sooner have they made their idealistic pledge than the Princess of France and her ladies-in-waiting arrive, presenting the men with a severe test of their high-minded resolve.

Shakespeare’s sparkling comedy delights in championing and then unravelling an unrealistic vow, and mischievously suggests that the study of the opposite sex is in fact the highest of all academic endeavours. Only at the end of the play is the merriment curtailed as the lovers agree to submit to a period apart, unaware that the world around them is about to be utterly transformed by the war to end all wars.

 £16 / £13 (TBC) 11

KIDS’ FILMS Cinderella (Cert. TBC) Inspired by the classic fairy tale, Cinderella brings to life the timeless images from Disney’s 1950 animated masterpiece. Cinderella follows the fortunes of young Ella whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother.

Ella welcomes her new stepmother and daughters into the family home.

But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family.

Peppa Pig: The Golden Boots (U) Peppa Pig and her animal friends are well-established children’s favourites, with four seasons of animated pre-school fun screened on TV. Now Peppa makes her bigscreen debut with this hour-long feast of snorty family entertainment.

The centrepiece is the lovable little porker’s very first 15 minute special episode, The Golden Boots.

Shaun the Sheep (U) When Shaun decides to take the day off and have some fun, he gets a little more action than he baa-rgained for! Shaun’s mischief accidentally causes the Farmer to be taken away from the farm, so it’s up to Shaun and the flock to rescue him.

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (U) Life is dandy in Bikini Bottom for SpongeBob Squarepants and his friends Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Sandy. However, when the top-secret recipe for Krabby Patties is stolen, SpongeBob finds that he must join forces with perpetual adversary Plankton and come ashore to battle a fiendish pirate named Burger Beard (Antonio Banderas), who has his own plans for the delicious delicacies.

Brave (PG) Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald), the impulsive, but courageous, daughter of Scottish King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), is determined to carve out her own path in life. When her defiance of an age-old tradition angers the Highland lords and leads to chaos in the kingdom, Merida seeks help from an eccentric wise woman (Julie Walters), who grants her an ill-fated wish.

A Most Violent Year (15)

Love Is Strange (15)

11 March

25 March

Set in New York during the winter of 1981, statistically one of the most violent years in the city’s history, A Most Violent Year follows the lives of immigrant Abel Morales (Oscar Isaac – Inside Llewyn Davies, Ex Machina) and his family as they try to expand their business and capitalise on the American Dream, while the rampant violence and corruption of the day threatens to drag them down and destroy all they have built.

After nearly four decades together, Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina) finally tie the knot in an idyllic wedding ceremony in lower Manhattan. But when George loses his job soon after, the couple must sell their apartment and - victims of the relentless New York City real estate market - temporarily live apart until they can find an affordable new home. Forced to stay with neighbours and relations, Ben and George struggle with the pain of separation, whilst simultaneously facing the challenges of the intergenerational tensions and capricious family dynamics of their new living arrangements.

Kumiko: The Treasure Hunter (12a) 18 March

In this darkly comedic odyssey, Academy Award nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel, Pacific Rim) stars as Kumiko, a frustrated Office Lady whose imagination transcends the confines of her mundane life. Kumiko becomes obsessed with a mysterious, battered VHS tape of a popular film she’s mistaken for a documentary, fixating on a scene where a suitcase of stolen cash is buried in the desolate, frozen landscape of North Dakota.

Believing this treasure to be real, she leaves behind Tokyo and her beloved rabbit Bunzo to recover it - and finds herself on a dangerous adventure unlike anything she’s seen in the movies.

Still Life (15) 1 April

Life for the unassuming John May (Eddie Marsan) has always revolved around his work for the local council in South London, finding the next of kin of those who have died alone. Profoundly dedicated to his work, he believes that everyone deserves a dignified exit, and writes eulogies and organises funerals for those who wouldn’t have them otherwise. But when a new case - an elderly alcoholic in a flat directly opposite his own - hits him harder than usual, he journeys outside London to track down the man’s long-abandoned daughter (Joanne Froggatt, Downton Abbey). Against the odds, the two lonely souls are drawn to each other - and John’s outlook starts to open to life’s possibilities.

DRAMA IN FILM Fifty Shades of Grey (18) E.L. James’ erotic best-seller gets the big screen treatment with this Universal Pictures/Focus Features co-production. Literature student Anastasia Steele’s life changes forever when she meets handsome, yet tormented, billionaire Christian Grey. The two find themselves powerfully attracted to each other.

But as Anastasia will find out, Grey has some very specific tastes when it comes to sex and romance.

Foxcatcher (15) Based on shocking true events, Foxcatcher is a psychological thriller which tells the fascinating story of Olympic gold medal-winning brothers Mark Schultz (Mark Ruffalo) and Dave Schultz (Channing Tatum) and their tragic relationship with a multimillionaire benefactor, John du Pont (Steve Carell).

Inherent Vice (15) Based on the novel by Thomas Pynchon. Private Detective Doc Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) normally conducts his cases through a haze of marijuana smoke. When his exlover turns up out of the blue asking him to investigate a plot to have her billionaire lover committed, Doc finds himself drawn into a world of Nazi’s, cops, hustlers, rockers and a mysterious organisation called the Golden Fang, in the middle of a case he can never hope to understand.

Selma (12A)

Still Alice (12A)

2015 marks the 50th Anniversary of Dr. King’s voting rights campaign and the march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Starring David Oyewolo, Selma is the chronicle of Martin Luther King’s historic struggle to secure equal voting rights for all people, regardless of their colour.

Julianne Moore stars in this heartbreaking and inspiring tale of one woman’s struggle to stay connected to her identity in the battle against dementia. Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children, is a renowned linguistics professor who starts to forget words. When she receives a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, Alice and her family find their bonds thoroughly tested.

Kill the Messenger (15) Two-time Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner (The Bourne Legacy) leads an all-star cast in a dramatic thriller based on the remarkable true story of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb. Webb stumbles onto a story which leads to allegations that the CIA was aware of major dealers who were smuggling cocaine into the U.S., and using the profits to arm rebels fighting in Nicaragua. Webb keeps digging to uncover a conspiracy with explosive implications - and draws the kind of attention that threatens not just his career, but his family and his life.

Focus (15) A veteran con artist Nicky (Will Smith) takes a young novice named Jess (Margot Robbie) under his wing. While Nicky teaches Jess the tricks of the trade, the pair become romantically involved; but when Jess gets uncomfortably close, Nicky ends their relationship. Three years later, Nicky is in Buenos Aires working a very dangerous scheme when Jess - now an accomplished femme fatale - unexpectedly shows up. Her appearance throws Nicky for a loop at a time when he cannot afford to be off his game.

Arts and Wellbeing The Annsbrae Just Writing Group had its 10th anniversary in September 2013. It was started by Shetland Arts Trust and The Community Mental Health Team and continues to be supported by Shetland Arts.

The group meets weekly, offering a space for people who are experiencing ongoing mental health issues to come and take part in creative writing and spend time together. There is no pressure for anybody to write, or to share what they have written with the rest of the group.

The aim of the group has always been to enjoy writing and to enjoy sharing their writing. Here are some quotes from members, which express what they feel about writing and why they value the group.

“Made me read more widely.”

“Made me more observant.”

“Kept me alive.”

“Taught me to dream.”

“Given me confidence to read in public.”

“Helped me to express my feelings: both good and bad.”

“Made me more analytical of the papers and books I read.”

“Made me friends who I can share how I feel with.”

“Given me friends who I help and who help me.”

“Given me confidence to write for an audience.”

“Helped me explore my emotions.”

“Helped me understand other people better.”

“Writing helps me relax, it lets me say what I feel without hurting me or anyone else.”
