SUMMARY:POWAQQATSI (1988)
DESCRIPTION:POWAQQATSI\nCert U | 1988 | Dir. Godfrey Reggio | Documentary/Music| USA | 99 mins \n \nFeature film screening\, programmed as part of MAST – Mayflower Studios Emergency Season. \nPowaqqatsi\, also known as Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation\, is a 1988 American non-narrative film directed by experimental filmmaker\, Godfrey Reggio and is the second film in the Qatsi trilogy. \nFive years after Godfrey Reggio stunned audiences with Koyaanisqatsi\, he again joined forces with composer Philip Glass and other collaborators for a second chapter. This is the most intensely spiritual segment of Reggio’s philosophical and visually remarkable Qatsi Trilogy. Here\, Reggio turns his sights on third-world nations in the Southern Hemisphere. Forgoing the sped-up aesthetic of the first film\, Powaqqatsi employs a meditative slow motion in order to reveal the beauty of the traditional ways of life in those parts of the planet\, and to show how cultures there are being eroded as their environments are taken over by industry. \n\nSouthampton Film Week & MAST – Mayflower Studios\, previously screened Koyaanisqatsi (The 1st film in the Qatsi trilogy)  as part of Southampton Film Week-End: Screening Green in 2022 – a programme of environmentally themed films. We are delighted to programme the sequel\, Powaqqatsi for MAST’s Emergency Season \nThe temperature is rising\, there’s plastic in the oceans\, the rainforest is disappearing…and maybe using a ‘bag for life’ isn’t going to turn it all around. MAST Mayflower Studios brings you EMERGENCY\, a season of work across October and November\, relating to the climate crisis and asking the difficult questions about the future of our planet. Join us as we endeavour to spread awareness of the climate crisis through theatre\, spoken word\, live performance and more!

SUMMARY:SFW22: Neptune Frost
DESCRIPTION:Neptune Frost (2021)\nSaturday 19 November 2022 at 7:00pm\nDir. Saul Williams\, Anisia Uzeyman | USA/Rwanda | 1hr 45m | 15| Sci-fi | English subtitles  \nAn intersex African hacker\, a coltan miner and the virtual marvel born as a result of their union.  \nAfro-futurist fantasia Neptune Frost\, is a wondrous\, thrilling sci-fi punk musical from multi-hyphenate\, multidisciplinary artists Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman who bring their unique dynamism to the vision of Neptune Frost. It is a sci-fi-punk musical that’s a visually wondrous amalgamation of themes\, ideas\, and songs that they have been exploring in their work\, including on Williams’ 2016 album MartyrLoserKing.  \n \nNeptune Frost takes place in the hilltops of Burundi\, where a group of escaped coltan miners camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump\, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region’s natural resources and its people. When an intersex runaway and an escaped miner find each other through cosmic forces\, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry.  \nSet between states of being – past and present\, dream and waking life\, colonised and free\, male and female\, memory and prescience – Neptune Frost is an invigorating and empowering direct download to the cerebral cortex and a call to reclaim technology for progressive political ends.  \n“In a word: Mesmerising. Neptune Frost is truly cinema in poetry\, a visually (and aurally) stunning work of art that feels like it should be on display in a museum.” – feedback from young audience members  \n\nOne of the most unique sci-fi films of recent years\, Neptune Frost is screening at MAST Mayflower Studios on Saturday 19 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: 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

Don Bluth | USA | 1hr 22m | U | Animated Adventure | English subtitles  \n\n\nA widowed field mouse must move her family\, including an ailing son\, to escape a farmer’s plough.

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.
