SUMMARY:SFW22: All That Breathes
DESCRIPTION:All That Breathes (2021)\nSaturday 19 November 2022 at 3:00pm\nDir. Shaunak Sen | India | 1hr 31m |12A | Documentary | English subtitles  \nAgainst the darkening backdrop of Delhi’s apocalyptic air and escalating violence\, two brothers devote their lives to protect a casualty of the turbulent times: the bird known as the Black Kite.  \n \nIn one of the world’s most populated cities\, two brothers — Nadeem and Saud — devote their lives to the quixotic effort of protecting the black kite\, a majestic bird of prey essential to the ecosystem of New Delhi that has been falling from the sky at alarming rates. Amid environmental toxicity and social unrest\, the ‘kite brothers’ spend day and night caring for the creatures in their makeshift avian basement hospital. Director Shaunak Sen (Cities of Sleep) explores the connection between the kites and the Muslim brothers who help them return to the skies\, offering a mesmerizing chronicle of inter-species coexistence.  \nNadeem and Saud live in a working-class\, predominantly Muslim neighbourhood running their soap dispenser business. Their passion\, however\, is their budding organisation ‘Wildlife Rescue’ and its work to save black kites injured in mid-air collisions caused by the city’s terrifyingly poor air quality and opaque skies. Lobbying for donations while lovingly tending to these majestic birds of prey\, Nadeem and Saud are a two-man band intervening to make change. All the while city life is dominated by pollution\, overpopulation and climate change\, and violent protests against India’s anti-Muslim Citizen Act.  \nEverything is connected in Sen’s dreamy and impressionistic film which provokes thinking around the intersections of the climate and environmental crises – and the people they most affect. This prescient and remarkable documentary explores the relationship between humanity and the natural world\, and the value of individual actions against monumental systemic problems.  \n\nWatch All That Breathes at MAST on Saturday 19 November as part of Southampton Film Week\, tickets available through the MAST Box Office. \nThis performance will be relaxed. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement\, and a chillout space will be available before\, during and after the show for anyone that needs a quiet space.  \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882

SUMMARY:SFW22: My Mexican Bretzel
DESCRIPTION:My Mexican Bretzel (2019)\nFriday 18 November at 3:00pm\nDir. Nuria Giménez | Spain| 1hr 13m | PG | Docu-Fiction | English Subtitles \nExquisite archive footage combines with the mid 20th century diary of a socialite\, as she and her husband travel the world. As the film draws us into their jet-set world\, Vivian Barrett’s diary reveals her innermost thoughts encouraging us to peer more deeply into the life presented on screen.  \n \nThis alluring Spanish ‘documentary’ presents to us the privileged world of skiing in the Alps\, sailing the med\, flying over the Rocky Mountains\, and invites us to observe the Barrett’s opulent social life is.  It is intoxicating to watch\, but is all as it seems?  Where does the superficial end and the underlying truth emerge?  \nDescribed as a manipulated ‘documentary’\, My Mexican Bretzel is the recipient of three Gaudi Awards\, the Audience Award at the D’A Film Festival Barcelona in 2020 and the Best Found-Footage Film at the 48th Rotterdam International Film Festival.   \n“The discovery of Muria Gimenez Lorang as a witty\, bright writer and the staggering beauty of the film images result in one of the most imaginative films seen in 2020.”  CinemaAttic  \n\nCome and See My Mexican Bretzel at MAST on Friday 18 November\, book your tickets through the MAST box office. \nThis performance will be relaxed. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement\, and a chillout space will be available before\, during and after the show for anyone that needs a quiet space.  \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882

SUMMARY:SFW22: Right of Way
DESCRIPTION:Right of Way (2022)\nThursday 17 November 2022 at 3:00pm\nDir. Various | UK | 1hr 30m | 12A | Archive footage & New Artist Film  | Captioned for the hard of hearing  \nWe’re told we all have a right to roam in the countryside – but does that apply to everyone equally?  \n \nRight of Way is a new feature-length programme that mixes stunning new artists’ commissions with historical archive films to explore the wider landscape of questions around access and inclusion in the UK countryside.  \nThe programme is inspired by the foundation of the National Trails. Set up to resist sweeping industrialisation\, these protected landscapes were created with a vision to ‘connect people to the rural landscape’\, but during the COVID-19 pandemic – as people realised anew the importance of nature and open spaces for our health and mental wellbeing – inequalities of access to rural land were being exposed\, revealing the disconnect felt by millions of people towards the UK countryside. A 2019 government review found that many Black\, Asian and ethnically diverse people view the countryside as an ‘irrelevant white\, middle-class club’\, concluding that this divide is only going to widen as society changes and ‘the countryside will end up being irrelevant to the country that actually exists’.  \nThe new commissions interrupt and challenge the enduring perception of the rural idyll as an untouched and unchanging space where time stands still. What happens when Black\, Asian and other ethnically diverse people enter these landscapes? How can our natural spaces be homes to protest\, trespass\, activism and raves? Paired with archive films this programme is a terrific platform for debate on historical and contemporary discussions about who has a right to the great outdoors and who is excluded from it.  \nDetails of the full programme are below. \n\n  \nNew Commissions:\nblack strangers\nDan Guthrie | UK | 2022 \nAfter seeing him mentioned on a Bishop’s Transcript held in Gloucestershire Archives\, Dan goes for a walk in the woods in search of Daniel\, a man buried in Nympsfield on the 31st December 1719 and described on the document as ‘a black stranger’. Whilst walking\, Dan talks directly to Daniel\, speculating about the parallels between him and his namesake and wrestling aloud with the problems that come with trying to read the archive at face value and fill in its gaps. \n\nPastoral Malaise\nUfuoma Essi | UK | 2022 \n\nPastoral Malaise is a meditative reflection on the absences found in rural pastoral environments\, that are often framed by a false romanticism and picturesque conventions\, constructed as tourist sites within rural landscapes across Britain. Inspired by Una Marson’s poem Spring In England and Dorris Henderson’s 1965 cover of the popular British folk song One Morning In May\, the film recalls an imagined relationship to the English landscape told through memories and speculative histories. \nSyncopated Green\nArjuna Neuman | UK | 2022 \n\nSyncopated Green reflects on the history of outdoor free parties in the English countryside\, using rave music\, past and present\, to help forget the ‘official’ portrayal of England as picturesque\, nostalgic\, white\, and rural. The film invites rave music into the English landscape – turning imperial history inside out. Somewhere between a music video\, a memoir and an essay\, it asks: how might our future be different if we had other histories to lean on – and dance with? \nArchive Films:\nEastbourne\nGilbert Tomes | UK | 1958 \n\nHolidaying in Eastbourne\, the Sanderstead Youth Fellowship take in an organised walk over the South Downs from Beachy Head to Cuckmere Haven. Courtesy of Screen Archive South East at the University of Brighton \nPilgrim’s Way\nWilliam N. Boyle | UK | 1956 \n\nFrom Farnham to Canterbury\, this 120-mile trek across the famous Pilgrim’s Way section of the North Downs Way takes in some of south-east England’s prettiest towns\, villages and pastures. Courtesy of BFI National Film & Television Archive \nFather Thames\nunknown | UK | 1935 \n\nRecorded over 60 years prior to the establishment of the Thames Path National Trail\, this film follows England’s best-known river for 185 miles as it ambles from its source in the Cotswolds through several rural counties and into the heart of London. Courtesy of BFI National Film & Television Archive \nHoliday on the North Norfolk Coast\nunknown | UK | 1952 \n\nGlasgow’s Countryside Club visits the North Norfolk Coast\, taking in sights along the still-to-be-established National Trail Path. In this clip the group journeys from Morston Quay to explore Blakeney National Nature Reserve. Courtesy of the East Anglian Film Archive at the University of East Anglia \nSouth Downs Way\nunknown | UK | 1975 \n\nThis amateur travelogue-style documentary follows the route of the South Downs Way three years after its official opening\, accompanied by a voiceover providing historical narrative on the route and local history of the areas it passes through. Courtesy of Screen Archive South East at the University of Brighton \nNorfolk\, 1986\nunknown | UK | 1986 \n\nOne week before Prince Charles opens the Peddars Way Long Distance Path\, local journalist Bruce Robinson talks through the book he has written about the historic Roman road it follows. Courtesy of the East Anglian Film Archive at the University of East Anglia \nCountry Ways: The Ridgeway in October\nPaul Slater | UK | 1988 \n\nITV’s popular Country Ways television series explores The Ridgeway National Trail through the eyes of the people that live and work along the historic pathway\, commonly known as ‘Britain’s oldest road’. Courtesy of the Wessex Film and Sound Archive at Hampshire County Council \nCheck out this rousing and eccentric short film collection\, screening at MAST on Thursday 17 November. \nThis performance will be relaxed. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement\, and a chillout space will be available before\, during and after the show for anyone that needs a quiet space.  \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882

SUMMARY:SFW22: A Bunch of Amateurs
DESCRIPTION:A Bunch of Amateurs (2022)\nMonday 14 November 2022 at 7:00pm\nDir. Kim Hopkins | UK | 1hr 35m | 12A | Documentary  \nOnly a miracle can save Britain’s oldest amateur film club from its final demise. Sometimes miracles come from unexpected places.  \n \nMembers of Bradford Movie Makers\, the most quintessentially British working-class filmmaking club\, grow old amid flickering memories and the brutal reckoning of their final years. Desperately clinging to their dreams\, and to each other\, fuelled by endless cups of tea\, this quietly hilarious\, profoundly moving portrait of shared artistic folly speaks to the delusional escapist dreamer in us all and to the need to spend time together face to face in an increasingly lonely\, digital age.  \n“A profoundly moving and funny film that acts as an extraordinary document of the power of community and art.” – Guardian  \n“A thoroughly moving and ultimately joyful affair” – Cineuropa  \n\nWatch A Bunch of Amateurs at Solent University on Monday 14 November\, at 7:00pm. \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882 \nWe are delighted\, with support of our partners\, to present a number of events for free but if you are able to make a donation when purchasing your ticket or attending an event we will be incredibly grateful – and able to sustain City Eye and Southampton Film Week for years to come!  Thank you.

SUMMARY:SFW22: Maisie
DESCRIPTION:Maisie (2021)\nSunday 13 November 2022 at 7:00pm\nDir.  Lee Cooper  | UK | 1h 16m | 15 | Documentary  | Subtitles \n‘Old Age can be a Drag.’ \nAn intimate portrait of ageing and friendship as Maisie Trollette\, Britain’s oldest drag act\, prepares\nfor his 85th birthday and meets 87 year old Darcelle XV\, Guinness World Record Holder from the\nUSA for the very first time \nImage credit: Sam Parsons | All copyright – Proper Charlie Productions 202\nAfter fifty long years in the business\, Mr. David Raven is still shaking his sequins as ‘Maisie\nTrollette’\, Britain’s oldest working drag artiste. David’s 85th is fast approaching and a special birthday performance has been arranged in the UK’s capital of camp\, Brighton.\nAt 87\, Walter Cole is The Guinness Book Of Records Oldest Performing Drag Queen in the\nWorld and he is flying over from Portland\, USA to meet David for the very first time.\nBut professional rivalries soon flare between Britain’s feisty Pantomime Dame and America’s\nregal Pageant Queen\, and as his birthday grows nearer David must deal with the unique\nchallenges that performing in your eighties can bring.\nDavid has recently been diagnosed with health issues\, and the surprise birthday event only adds\nto his growing anxiety. But ever the professional\, ‘Maisie’ gives the performance of a lifetime as\nshe looks back on half-a-century of entertaining.\nFeaturing Broadway classics such as ‘Lady is a Tramp’\, ‘One’\, and ‘If I Never Sing Another Song’\,\nMAISIE is a hilarious\, heart-warming and often heart-breaking peek into the world of a character\nmore colourful than his gowns. \nDirector’s Statement\nThere are many amazing ‘coming out’ stories committed to film\, but how often do we get to see\nthe other end of the tale? I wanted to explore what it means to be queer in our twilight years.\nOver the course of three years I was fortunate to be granted unique access into the colourful\nworld of both David Raven and ‘Maisie’ as he prepared for his 85th birthday with all the\nchallenges that can bring.\nThe first cut was a very different film. The ‘life of’ rather than a ‘day in the life of’. But the fashion\nart director in me became obsessed with the intimate detail. His use of an old Brillo pad to apply\nhis foundation. The soiled old tights he uses as a wig cap.\nI soon realised that the voiceovers and anecdotes were detracting from the real story. Instead\, I\nwanted to capture the beauty of old age. The drama that can be found in watching an old man\nstruggle to get into a pair of glitter heels.\nOld age is not ‘sexy’\, and the LGBTQ older community in particular don’t want to talk about it.\nBut who will look after us when we are older if we don’t have children or are estranged from our\nfamilies at a younger age?\nHopefully we have created a story that transcends the LGBTQ community and is ultimately an\ninspirational look at the life of a remarkable individual. \n\nThe fifteenth annual Southampton Film Week – Celebrating film across the city.  \n11-21 November 2022 www.southamptonfilmweek.com \nA note on ticket prices: \nAt Southampton Film Week we want everyone to be able to watch great films together. In response to the financial challenges that so many people are facing\, and with the support of our partners\, we have adopted a ‘pay what you can’ approach for some of our events. \nIf you are able to pay towards the cost of your ticket and to help make the festival affordable for others please do buy a ticket or make a donation.  \nIf making a donation would be difficult for you financially please don’t be deterred from booking a ticket and coming to enjoy this event.

SUMMARY:SFW22: knit the walls
DESCRIPTION:We are grateful to BFI FAN and The National Lottery for funding to support this event. Please complete this survey so that we can feed back to them.\n  \n‘knit the walls’\nIn 2018 SFW: Shorts\, Southampton Film Week’s own short film competition\, received a submission from it’s youngest ever filmmaker\, 13 year old Imogen Dunlop.  The film was a documentary  about the wonderful community project knit the walls.  Against stiff competition Imogen won the hearts of the audience and won the Audience Award at the SFW: Shorts Screening and Awards Ceremony.  As the ‘knit the walls project’ neared completion\, Imogen\, now 17\, suggested to sarah\, the artist and inspiration behind the project\, that she make another film\, this time about the project’s conclusion. Both Imogen’s original film and her new film will be installed in God’s House Tower from 11 November until 4 December. On Sunday 13 November sarah and Imogen will come together for a conversation about the project and the films.  You are invited to join them.  It’s sure to be a lovely event\, discussing how inspiring and empowering the ‘knit the walls’ project has been to the local community. This is a FREE event and no booking is required. \nAfter more than three million knitted stitches\, thousands of hours of warm conversation and countless shared stories\, as well as many hundreds of cups of tea and a lot of cake\, the six-year ‘knit the walls’ community-focused art project will come to an end this November. ‘knit the walls’ is a co-created community art project\, conceived and led by Southampton-based artist sarah filmer\, working alongside city residents in the production of a knitted version of the city’s medieval walls. The project emerged from the realisation that whilst the walls have silently witnessed the everyday lives of millions of the city’s residents over hundreds of years\, the stories we hear of the city’s past describe the big events\, those of national and international importance. And yet we each live our own day-to-day existence\, with small occurrences and personal stories comprising our individual lived experiences – often of no interest or consequence to anyone but ourselves and those close to us. \nSince 2016\, the work has seen an ever-growing\, evolving community of contributors come together each month at God’s House Tower and other venues\, bringing together hundreds of knitters from across Southampton’s diverse communities and beyond. ‘knit the walls’ has offered a space to gather\, knit\, to be creative\, or just to chat\, laugh\, and be surrounded by community. In recent months\, the project has evolved further through the creation of other knitted objects\, the outcomes of which will feature in the final exhibition\, launching at GHT on Friday 11th November. Just as the stone walls hold the stories of the city\, household objects hold our personal stories\, and knitters have been encouraged to bring items and encase them with stitches\, to contribute to a woollen ‘front room’ complete with knitted wallpaper\, that will feature in the final exhibition. \n \nsarah filmer is an artist based in Southampton\, England. she is an associate lecturer in fine art at Solent university. Her practice research interests include the articulation of women’s stories via shared activity\, with ‘knit the walls’ revisioning recorded history through a feminist lens. \nImogen Dunlop studies film and media video production at Barton Peveril Sixth Form College. Imogen describes herself as having ‘been a creative person my whole life and have been creating stories since i learned to write’. Imogen has described her filmmaking journey below: \n“i went up to sarah and asked if i could make a documentary about knit the walls. at this point it had only been going for about a year\, but she was happy for me to run around with my camera and try it out. my dad helped me with the editing and the technical stuff and then boom! my first film was born. not only was my first film born\, but i then managed to win the Audience Choice award at Southampton Film Week in 2018\, when i was just 13 years old.” \nGHT will host a launch event for the ‘knit the walls’ finale on Friday 11th November from 6pm – 8pm. Tickets to the launch are free and available on Eventbrite here. \nYou can find details of other activities and events throughout November at God’s House Tower on their website. \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882

SUMMARY:SFW22: Dream Palaces - Where are they now?
DESCRIPTION:Dream Palaces – Where are they now?\n‘Dream Palaces – Where are they now?’ is a short film presentation by local art enthusiast and cartoonist Al Welch which compares historic Southampton picture houses with what they\, or their locations\, look like today. \n \nIn 1996\, to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the cinema\, Southampton City Council published a history book detailing the former cinemas (or movie theatres) of Southampton. \nNamed ‘Dream Palaces – Going to the Pictures in Southampton’\, the beautiful book features a collection of memories and images of the former cinemas around the city and some in the suburbs\, including The Broadway in Portswood\, The Shirley Regent and the Woolston Picture House. Creators Bill White\, Sheila Jemima and Donald Hyslop joined forces with photographer John Lawrence to compile a window to the past that celebrates not only Southampton’s vast history of cinema but pays tribute to its audience and staff\, twenty-seven of whom were interviewed during the making of the book. \nSince the publication of ‘Dream Palaces’\, Southampton’s exhibition scene has transformed irrevocably\, with Harbour Lights (now Picture House) as the sole survivor of the original book\, having remained open since 1995. Despite the loss of numerous cinemas\, such as Gaiety (now Sprinkles Gelato) or ABC (Switch Nightclub) their legend lives on and thanks to Al Welch and this project\, we can celebrate them once again. \nAl Welch is a cartoonist who writes and illustrates comics for his website. When not cartooning\, he volunteers at Board in the City\, a board game community café in Onslow Road\, Southampton and he often enjoys the gym\, a swim\, and a bit of walking. \n‘Dream Palaces – Where are they now?’ will premiere at City Eye on Saturday 12 November\, and will run throughout Southampton Film Week\, 11am-5pm Tuesday to Friday.  Free to attend\, no booking required.

SUMMARY:YOUTH UNSTOPPABLE
DESCRIPTION:Dir: Slater Jewell-Kemker | USA | Cert: U  \n  \n  \nSince she was 14 years old\, Slater Jewell-Kemker has been travelling around the world as a Climate Activist\, meeting and interviewing other youths from this enormous network of international trailblazers. 2018 saw the rise to prominence of Youth Climate Activism with Greta Thunberg\, but Jewell-Kemker’s film highlights that Thunberg’s incredible rise to prominence was not done in isolation.

SUMMARY:GUNDA
DESCRIPTION:Dir: Viktor Kossakovsky | Norway | 93mins | Cert: PG  \n  \nFrom the director of the climate documentary Aquarela\, this aesthetically stunning film follows the lives of the eponymous Sow\, as well as two cows and a chicken\, as they live out their daily lives.  Depicting the emotional lives of his animal subjects\, Kossakovsky’s tender and moving portrait sensitively depicts the cruelty of the farming industry without ever once lapsing into the grotesque. Gunda instead keeps its focus on the relationships between the farm animals\, which are as complex as meaningful as our relationships to one another. Beautifully filmed to give narrative agency to its animal subjects\, this is a film unlike any other.  \nA stunning\, and deeply moving argument against the meat industry which prioritises the animals\, rather than the humans who breed them.  \n  \nDiscounts and Concessions available through the box office.\n– Access Membership Companion seats 75% discount at all performances.\n– Groups 10+ £2.00 off.\n– Festival ticket offer – get 25% off full-price tickets if you book any 4 events across the two days.

SUMMARY:THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM
DESCRIPTION:Dir: John Chester | USA | 91mins | Cert: PG  \n  \nThe Biggest Little Farm follows the Chesters as they swap the big city for a (not so) little farm. Envisioned as a self-contained eco-system\, Apricot Lane Farms is the Chester family’s attempt to show how easily we could do things differently. Besides a moral attitude to livestock\, and an innovative approach to growing crops and maintaining soil quality\, it is the heart warming quality of The Biggest Little Farm that makes it such a significant documentary. Cows\, Pigs\, Dogs\, and even crops are all treated by the farmers and the filmmakers with the utmost respect. Whilst The Biggest Little Farm never claims farming life as easy\, the palpable joy of reconnecting with Nature and providing a sustainable alternative to industrialised farming is explored through the Chesters – we learn along with them that changing our attitudes to our environment\, changes us for the better\, too.  \nA moving\, heart-warming documentary which leaves everyone who sees it with the desire to get out  into the garden\, and get growing!  \n  \nDiscounts and Concessions available through the box office.\n– Access Membership Companion seats 75% discount at all performances.\n– Groups 10+ £2.00 off.\n– Festival ticket offer – get 25% off full-price tickets if you book any 4 events across the two days. \n

SUMMARY:KOYAANISQATSI
DESCRIPTION:Dir: Godfrey Reggio | USA | 1982 | 86mins | Cert: U  \n  \nTaking its title from a Hopi word meaning ‘life out of balance\,’ Godfrey Reggio’s Koyaanisqatsi – eight years in the making – displays the lack of balance between humans and our relationship with our environment. Reggio’s breath taking ‘tone poem’ marries experimental editing\, lush cinematography by Ron Fricke (who would go on to make Baraka and Samsara)\, and Phillip Glass’ iconic score to create an audio/visual experience unlike any other. Told without interviews or narration\, Reggio’s film shows our lives\, our goals\, our achievements\, and our failures within the context of their effects on the world around us. By prioritising nature over the human understanding of it\, Reggio reveals both the grandeur of the world around us\, as well as the follies of our attitude towards it.   \nA seminal film both in art and environmental circles\, Koyaanisqatsi\, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2022\, is the perfect film to begin our weekend of eco-films\, challenging not only the way we see film itself\, but the world around us too.   \nPlease note that this film screening begins at 10.30am \nDiscounts and Concessions available through the box office.\n– Access Membership Companion seats 75% discount at all performances.\n– Groups 10+ £2.00 off.\n– Festival ticket offer – get 25% off full-price tickets if you book any 4 events across the two days.

SUMMARY:Derek
DESCRIPTION:Dir: Isaac Julien | UK 2008 | 76 Min | Lang: English \nPoetic and award-winning documentary by artist-filmmaker\, Isaac Julien. \nThis film celebrates the life and work of film-maker\, artist and gay rights activist Derek Jarman. Interview footage\, musings from Tilda Swinton\, archival footage and segments from Jarman’s work weave together to build a portrait of a bold\, inspiring and multi-dimensional character. \n  \n \nIsaac Julien and Tilda Swinton in Isaac Julien’s Derek\, 2008. Photo Nina Kellgren. Courtesy of the artist. \n  \nWe are delighted to present this film during Southampton Film Week in anticipation of Derek Jarman’s Modern Nature exhibition at John Hansard Gallery\, opening 27 November 2021. \n  \n\nIn a collaboration with Tilda Swinton\, Derek\, poetically tells the story of Derek Jarman through extensive use of archive footage. The documentary is centred in a day-long interview Jarman gave to Colin McCabe in the 80s.\n\n\nFrom Sebastiane (1976) to Blue (1992)\, Derek Jarman’s films constantly interrogated time and art\, and epitomised his own era. He was a painter\, part of that moment that made sixties London a capital of the art crucial figure of British independent cinema through the seventies\, eighties and nineties. He lived as a gay man surging the joys of Gay Liberation and the sorrows of AIDS. He lived as a participant observer\, noting with pen or camera all that passed before him – from punk to Thatcher\, from Hampstead Heath to film premiere.\n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Fragments
DESCRIPTION:Dir: James Scott | USA 2019 | 44 mins | Age Guide 12 |Lang: English \n\n\n\nFragments covers the trajectory of Derek Boshier working between a giant drawing\, World News\, which is about ‘the contrasts between nature and machinery’\, and a series of paintings titled Night and Snow which cover ‘fashion\, soccer\, video games\, rock music and mythologies’. The title Fragments also refers to Boshier’s own film work\, clips of which are integrated within this film. \nBoshier is a British artist living in Los Angeles. Associated with the Pop art movement in London in the sixties\, he studied at the Royal College of Art with the likes of David Hockney\, RB Kitaj\, Peter Blake and Pauline Boty. It is the landscape of America\, and particularly Hollywood\, that has long been such an influence on all of these artists. \nThe statement by the artist Richard Hamilton: ‘I don’t like art films” is perhaps the springboard for all of Scott’s films on artists. Equally\, David Lynch’s comment\, ‘art films are boring’\, sums up a broad attitude to the genre. Positioning himself as both a passionate lover of both art and movies\, Scott’s films directly challenge the negative assumptions of what ‘an art film’ can be. They ignite a sense of excitement\, mystery and wonder that resides within the making of both art and cinema. \nWhile the film closely follows the making of a specific painting or drawing\, Boshier tells off-hand stories commenting on and illuminating his practice. He remarks\, ‘it was Degas\, of all people\, who said\, ‘the making of a painting is like the perpetration of a crime – the artist never paints what he sees; he always paints what he wants other people to see’. \nAs with many of Scott’s films\, this documentary explores the nature of the creative process; the camera delving into the act\, becomes almost an extension of the work\, revealing the journey from first brushstroke or pencil mark to the finished canvas or drawing. \nThe film was started in the fall of 2018 when Boshier began working for an exhibition of paintings and drawings to open at Gazelli Art House in London\, a year later. The music is composed\, played and engineered by cellist Derek Stein.\n\n\n\nOfficial Selection of International Film Festival Rotterdam 2020

SUMMARY:Stephano: The True Story of Shakespeare’s Shipwreck and virtual Q&A
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THAT IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO RESCHEDULE THIS EVENT TO TAKE PLACE ON SUNDAY 22 NOVEMBER AT 2.30PM. \nFollowing the story of the only Mayflower passenger to have travelled previously to North America this 90 minute film is shown as part of Southampton’s Mayflower 400 anniversary programme. \nA decade before Mayflower left our shores Stephen Hopkins had been aboard a Jamestown-bound ship that wrecked on Bermuda inspiring Shakespeare’s final play\, The Tempest.  The film retraces Hopkin’s life criss-crossing the Atlantic \nTwice Emmy-nominated producer Andrew Giles Buckley\, a Hopkins descendant\, grew up hearing stories that New Plymouth’s iconoclast tavern keeper may have been the inspiration for The Tempest’s drunken and mutinous Stephano. In their Gumshoe Historian style\, Buckley and crew of Hit and Run History seek out the reality of a man who was everywhere at the founding of America. \nWe are pleased to present this film as part of Southampton’s Mayflower 400 programme to mark the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower and in partnership with University of Southampton’s Human Worlds Festival and delighted that the film’s director Andrew Buckley will join us after the film for a Q&A. \nThis is an online event.

SUMMARY:“ ‘There’ but not ‘there’ ”: Challenges of representation and diversity in the archive film; a Southampton perspective
DESCRIPTION:Always a popular element of the SFW programme\, we are delighted that Wessex Film & Sound Archive join us again to present this special event for the festival.   \nWessex Film & Sound Archive holds 38\,000 historic film and sound items dating as far back as 1898.  This film looks at a selection of amateur films made by local filmmakers during the 1920-1950 period\, with a particular focus on representation and visibility of underrepresented groups.  The film commentary is provided by Zoë Viney\, Curator of Film at Wessex Film & Sound Archive (WFSA)\, based in Winchester and also Postgraduate Research Student in Film at Southampton University.  \n \nZoë’s research seeks to explore gender and class in the amateur film collection of WFSA between the years of 1920-1950.  \nWFSA is a regional repository for historic film and sound items from Hampshire\, Isle of Wight\, Berkshire\, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.  Of its 38\,000 plus items there exist some 12\,000 cinefilms.  \nIn her commentary\, Zoë seeks to explore how issues of visibility\, attribution and representation impact on our understanding of this regional collection and how this can serve to contribute to a wider view of amateur filmmaking in the UK. Zoë has a background in historic textiles and dress and in particular the interaction between gender\, socio-economics and lived experience\, as depicted in amateur film.   Zoë’s qualifications include: BA Film and History of Art and Design\, University of Southampton (2003-2006)\, MA Museums and Galleries: History of Textiles and Dress (2008)\, Projects in Controlled Environments 2 (2012) \nThis compilation of film with commentary lasts for 35 minutes.  The film is free to view and you will be sent a link when booking.  This link will be live until 11.30pm on Sunday 22 November enabling you to view at your leisure. \n\nThis event\, focusing on amateur filmmakers is part of a wider BFI\, National Lottery and Hampshire Archives Trust funded project: Making History: making movies. \n \nThe event is supported by a Mayflower 400 community heritage grant as part of Southampton’s Mayflower 400 programme. The anniversary year seeks to celebrate Southampton\, a city and a community\, built on journeys and migration\, whilst increasing access to and engagement in culture. City Eye\, the organisation which organises Southampton Film Week\, is grateful to have been awarded funds to create a Heritage Film Archive enabling exploration and greater accessibility to its collection relating to Southampton’s diverse communities.

SUMMARY:Maiden (2018)
DESCRIPTION:2018 | Dir Alex Holmes | 1:37 | Cert 12A \n  \nThe inspirational story of how Tracy Edwards\, a 24-year-old cook on charter boats\, became the skipper of the first ever all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989. \nTracy’s dream was opposed on all sides: her male competitors thought an all-women crew would never make it\, the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure\, and potential sponsors rejected her\, fearing they would die at sea and generate bad publicity. But Tracy refused to give up: she re-mortgaged her home and bought a second-hand boat\, putting everything on the line to ensure the team made it to the start line. With the support of her remarkable crew she went on to shock the sport and prove that women are the equal of men. \n  \n“... a knuckle-whitening tale of courage and grit.” Timeout \n“Instructive\, insightful and inspiring\, Maiden is a rousingly riveting record of a remarkable accomplishment that says as much about British bloody-mindedness as it does about feminist fortitude and underdog pluck” Empire Magazine \n  \n\n  \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882 \nWe are delighted\, with support of our partners\, to present a number of events for free but if you are able to make a donation when purchasing your ticket or attending an event we will be incredibly grateful – and able to sustain City Eye and Southampton Film Week for years to come!  Thank you.

SUMMARY:Here for Life (2019) & Q&A
DESCRIPTION:2019 | Dir Andrea Luka Zimmerman and Adrian Jackson | 1:27 | Cert 15 \nAwarded a Special Mention\, Concorso Cineasti del Presente at 72nd Locarno Film Festival 2019 | Discovery Award Long-list\, British Independent Film Awards 2019 \nAn uncommon story told on common ground by ten Londoners. All have lives shaped by loss and love\, trauma and bravery\, struggle and resistance. They grapple with a system stacked against them. They dance\, steal and eat together; agree and disagree\, celebrate their differences and share their talents. The lines between one person’s story and another’s performance of it are blurred\, and the borders between reality and fiction are equally porous. Eventually coming together on a makeshift stage built on reclaimed ground between two train tracks\, they prompt a debate about the world we live in\, who has stolen what from whom\, and how things might be fixed. Here for Life marks the culmination of a long collaboration between film-maker Andrea Luka Zimmerman and theatre-maker Adrian Jackson\, a troupe of Londoners and a dog. \n  \nWe are delighted that spoken word poet and performer in the film Errol McGlashan\, together with Johanna Von Fischer from Modern Films\, the distributor of Here for Life\, will join us for this special screening. Please join us in welcoming them to Southampton to discuss this important film. \n  \nAndrea Luka Zimmerman (co-director) said of this project “for me what is most valuable is the sense of a creative and collaborative waywardness and unpredictability in the film: that tenderness and tension co-exist\, often in the same moment\, feels to me something true to our shared experience.” \nAdrian Jackson (co-director) comments that “if this film tells us anything about London today\, it’s that there are many unconsidered lives surviving against the odds. It feels important to tell these kinds of stories today – to hear from people who are often ‘othered’ in a variety of ways – to show a world we don’t see enough of.” \n  \n‘A film of great compassion and political and aesthetic ambition\, in which the idea of a collective is prioritised for a change\, but without sacrificing or downplaying the individual voices and idiosyncrasies that it comprises’ – Kieron Corless\, Sight & Sound \n‘A folk tale\, a thing of indeterminate\, multiple belonging. In the film\, a poetics and a politics of the common is palpable’. – Laura Staab\, Open City Docs \n‘Fluidly integrates theatrical performance and process into a beautiful piece of filmmaking’ – Hettie Judah\, Art Monthly \n‘“Here for Life” is a moving film about hardship in London’ – Prospero\, The Economist  \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882 \nWe are delighted\, with support of our partners\, to present a number of events for free but if you are able to make a donation when purchasing your ticket or attending an event we will be incredibly grateful – and able to sustain City Eye and Southampton Film Week for years to come!  Thank you.
