SUMMARY:IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE? (2023)
DESCRIPTION:IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?\nCert 12A | 2023 | Dir. Ella Glendining| Documentary | UK | 87 mins \nFeature Documentary – UK theatrical release weekend \n \nIn this deeply personal and disarmingly honest documentary\, debut feature filmmaker Ella Glendining goes on a journey to find someone else with a body like hers\, exploring what it takes to love and esteem yourself as a disabled person in an ableist society.\nBorn with a condition so rare that no reliable statistics for it exist\, Glendining has always wondered if there is anybody out there who shares her physical experience of the world.  Inspired to find others who do\, she discovers that meeting them profoundly changes how she views herself and the potential of her future.\n\nFeaturing intimate personal diaries and home movie footage\, conversations with similarly bodied people and the doctors treating Glendining’s condition\, and a unique\, searching perspective\, Is There Anybody Out There? invites the viewer to ask questions and challenge assumptions they may never have considered before\, taking in ideas around body culture and parenting alongside questions of humanity and medical ethics.  With warmth\, intelligence and an infectious joy for her body and life as it is\, Glendining takes you on an unforgettable journey\, full of unexpected detours\, that will change how you see others – those both like and unlike you.\n\nIs Anybody Out There? is a revelatory film that gently tugs at the viewer’s biases and looks to a day when inclusivity is no longer an ‘issue’.\n  \n\n  \nFree tickets for Students – You must pre-book to be sure of your seat and  bring your Student ID with you to this screening.

SUMMARY:LOVE ACCORDING TO DALVA (2022)
DESCRIPTION:LOVE ACCORDING TO DALVA\nCert 15 | 2022 | Dir. Emmanuelle Nicot | Drama | France/Belgium | 85 mins \n \nFeature film screening with The Phoenix Film Society at Union Films. \nDalva (Zelda Samson) lives alone with her father. She’s only 12 years old and baby-faced\, but wears grown-up clothes and heavy make-up\, with her hair scraped into a bun. \nWhen the police storm into their home and take Dalva into care\, her whole world view shifts. Befriending her new roommate Samia (Fanta Guirassy) and looked after by kindly social worker Jayden (Alexis Manenti)\, she gradually comes to understand that the relationship she shared with her father was not what she believed it to be. With their help\, she begins to learn how to be a child again. \nIn her poignant feature debut\, director Emmanuelle Nicot explores the ramifications of childhood sexual abuse with sensitivity and grace\, rejecting a sensationalised depiction of trauma and examining the complexity of coercive\, controlling parental relationships in detail.

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
