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

Full of recognizable musical numbers and a slapstick sensibility\, Sing 2 also explores the importance of music in our lives as more than just a form of entertainment. \nTaking place from 8-25 November\, the Into Film Festival helps educators bring learning to life for 5-19 year olds across the UK by inspiring young people to watch\, understand and make film in new and creative ways. \nPlaces will be offered for free on a first-come\, first-served basis\, with attendance this year limited to one school group per event to help us to ensure the safety of all attendees and allow us to maximise the impact on the largest possible audience of children and young people across the UK. \nInto Film supports teachers and educators to achieve a wide range of effective learning outcomes in their use of film.

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.

SUMMARY:SFW22: Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr at Guildhall with Compton Pipe Organ
DESCRIPTION:Sherlock Jr. (1924) with live accompaniment from Richard Hills at the Compton pipe organ\nTuesday 15 November 2022 at 7:30pm\nDir. Buster Keaton | USA | 45m | U | Feature with live music \nA film projectionist longs to be a detective\, and puts his meagre skills to work when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s pocketwatch.  \nWe are thrilled to announce that this event will begin with a performance by Richard Hills at the organ\, demonstrating the range and full wonder of its capability\, followed by an interval and then the film screening with accompaniment. \n \nAfter a break during lockdown and the Covid pandemic it’s a joy to welcome Silver Street Films back to SFW for our longstanding film week tradition\, a classic silent film with live accompaniment from the historic Guildhall Compton Pipe Organ. Celebrated Cinema Organist Richard Hills will be presenting live soundtrack to the Buster Keaton classic\,  1924’s Sherlock Jr. \nArguably the cleverest of Keaton’s 1920’s films\, this detective fantasy takes place inside the head of a cinema projectionist (Keaton) who – in a sequence that’s a technical marvel to this day – dreams himself into the screen only to be flummoxed by the film’s editing. This film includes many other fantastical set pieces\, including one stunt that even fractured Keaton’s neck\, the footage of which made it into the final film. Keaton suffered from blinding migraines for years afterwards and was unaware of the reason\, until a doctor diagnosed him in the 1930s. \n \nThe Guildhall Compton Pipe Organ is one of Southampton’s greatest hidden treasures.  Witness to all the artists\, bands\, performances and events which have taken place at the 02 Guildhall\, the organ pipes wait patiently and quietly above the stage for opportunities such as these when at the hands of the maestro they are brought to life.  Our organ in Southampton is wonderful and unique\, providing two beautiful walnut consoles – one classic and one theatre\, or Variety as it was originally called.  The consoles are positioned either side of the stage and like the pipes above the proscenium arch generally go unnoticed. \nThis event provides a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the wonder of the silent-age as it would have been experienced at the time Sherlock Jr. was produced\, whilst enjoying the magnificent Compton Organ and a glimpse of an often over-looked jewel in the City’s rich heritage. \nTickets cost £14.95 or £12.75 (concession) including booking fee from the O2 Guildhall. \nPlease note that seating WILL BE PROVIDED although the Guildhall booking system implies that this is a standing event! \n \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882

SUMMARY:SFW22: Los Fantasmas with Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Los Fantasmas (2020)\nTuesday 15 November 2022 at 7:00pm\nDir. Sebastián Lojo | Guatemala | 1hr 31m |12A | Drama | English subtitles  \nBy day\, Koki is a nice tourist guide in Guatemala City\, but at night he lures men to a hotel – where they are relieved of their property.  \n \nHandsome Koki earns a living in Guatemala City winning people’s confidence\, after which their possessions go missing. By day he is a tourist guide\, but at night he seduces men and takes them to Carlos’ hotel\, where they are robbed. Koki and Carlos are two sides of the same coin; their fates are intertwined through their violent activities. One day\, Koki is targeted by one of the men he stole from\, leading Carlos to replace him with another good-looking young man. The shock of this sudden removal of his means of subsistence causes Koki to realise what his life was like\, in an almost out-of-body experience. \nThe feature debut from Sebastián Lojo and Remi Itani\, Los Fantasmas had its premiere in Rotterdam and has played in festivals around the world\, which is a remarkable achievement for an indie film that came out of a country with little film infrastructure but great stories to tell. The film’s use of location\, situation and storytelling are all the richer for this character study that explores what people do to survive.\n\nProducer Remi Itani will join us for the screening and a Q&A.\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. Please use the free ticket option if this is best for you. \nEnjoy the film and thank you for your support.

SUMMARY:THE HOST
DESCRIPTION:Dir: Bong Joon-Ho |South Korea | 119 Mins | 15  \nMarrying narrative and visual elements of classic monster movies with his masterful visual style\, tongue-in-cheek humour\, and socially conscious theming\, Bong Joon-Ho’s The Host is popcorn entertainment at its finest.   \nIn the year 2000\, an American military pathologist orders his Korean assistant to dump 200 bottles of formaldehyde down a drain leading into the Han River. Six years later\, this mistake will resurface in the form of a kaiju-like monster\, attacking people who live along the banks of the Han. Half Godzilla\, half An Inconvenient Truth\, Bong Joon-Ho’s The Host is the greatest monster movie in decades.   \nBefore his Oscar Winning parable of class injustice\, Parasite\, Bong Joon-Ho was already well regarded as a masterful director of dense\, yet fundamentally entertaining thrillers. The Host\, released in 2006\, is a further example of Bong Joon-Ho’s innate ability to channel larger contextualising themes into white-knuckle popcorn entertainment.  \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:SPOOR
DESCRIPTION:Dir: Agnieszka Holland | Poland | 128mins | 15  \n  \n  \nIn a rural Polish hunting village\, a semi-retired teacher\, Janina\, notices that her beloved dogs have gone missing\, and she has a good idea what might have happened to them. So begins Spoor\, an off-beat crime thriller in the vein of Fargo which sees Janina take on the local hunters in a quest to find her dogs. Beautifully filmed and thoughtfully adapted from Nobel Prize Winner Olga Tokarszuck’s Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead\, Spoor is a witty\, moving\, and urgent piece of film-making whose unique mix of humour\, environmental and feminist themes\, and a white-knuckle plot with a twist\, marks Agnieszka Holland’s odd-ball murder mystery as one of the most significant environmentally conscious films ever made.  \nWe are incredibly proud to be able to present this very special one off screening of Spoor\, which was never released in the UK. With stunning cinematography\, and unforgettable performances\, it is an unmissable conclusion to the first day of Southampton Film Week[end].   \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: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: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
