SUMMARY:The Banjo Boys (2025)
DESCRIPTION:The Banjo Boys + Filmmaker Q&A\n2025 | Dir. Johan Nayar| Documentary | Malawi/UK | 1hr 16 mins\n  \nScreening at Solent University Cinema\nWhen two Malawian street performers encounter a British travelling musician\, an opportunity arises that takes them on a journey from the dusty streets of Malawi to the stages of Zanzibar\, Europe and the US\, confronting the harsh realities of life as artists and embracing the transformative power of music. \n \nThe Banjo Boys follows the rise of Madalitso Band\, a Malawian duo—Yobu Maligwa and Yosefe Kalekeni—who built their own instruments into a banjo\, a one-stringed babatone (bass)\, and a foot drum\, crafting a sound that gets people on their feet. Once dismissed as madmen for their relentless street performances in Lilongwe\, they catch the ear of Neil Nayar\, a British musician captivated by Malawi’s vibrant soul. What begins as a chance meeting ignites an unlikely trio\, catapulting them from local streets to the world’s biggest stages. \nThe film traces their evolution from busking for survival during Malawi’s 2002 famine to captivating audiences at festivals like Sauti za Busara in Zanzibar\, WOMAD in the UK\, and Joshua Tree in California. Alongside their rise\, The Banjo Boys portrays their struggles—visa woes\, personal losses\, and the tension of cultural divides—revealing the grit behind their joyous performances. \nYobu’s spiritual visions and pastoral role\, Yosefe’s quiet resilience forged in childhood hunger\, and Neil’s quest for purpose weave a narrative of human connection amid chaos. We also meet Rice\, one of the original members of the band\, who left to go to school but later ended up in prison for murder. \nAs they tour Europe\, the US\, and beyond\, their minimalist sound—rooted in Malawian traditions yet resonant worldwide—becomes a bridge across continents. The documentary crescendos with their 2023 world tour\, a testament to their enduring bond and the blessings (Madalitso) they embody. Through intimate interviews\, electrifying performances\, and candid moments of doubt and triumph\, The Banjo Boys celebrates music’s ability to uplift\, unite\, and rewrite destinies against all odds. \n

SUMMARY:On Resistance Street Regional Premiere w/Q&A
DESCRIPTION:ON RESISTANCE STREET\nUnclassified (age guide 16+) | 2023 | Dir. Richard David | Documentary | UK | 120 mins \n \n\n  \nON RESISTANCE STREET is a feature documentary\, produced by Montaj Media Village in Southampton. The film is an in-depth examination of the role which music plays in the fight against fascism and racism and features many renowned musicians\, writers\, commentators and activists. Among contributors are original members of Steel Pulse\, Aswad\, The Sex Pistols\, Stiff Little Fingers\, The Levellers\, The Men They Couldn’t Hang\, Belfast Punk Godfather Terri Hooley\, author and Joe Strummer biographer Chris Salewicz\, Fire Brigade Union leader Matt Wrack\, National Organiser of ‘Stand up to Racism’ Weyman Bennett and many others.  \nORS was a two year project\, shot on location in England\, Belfast and New York.  It carries an original soundtrack of 20 songs which will be released as an album in 2024.  \nThe film revisits the ‘Rock Against Racism’ movement of the late 70s\, noting its influence on future waves of radical artists and political activists. It also shines a light – for the first time on film – on a 1950s organisation ”The Stars Campaign For Inter-racial Friendship” which was founded by a group of famous British Jazz musicians and entertainers\, in the wake of the 1958 Notting Hill riots and provided venues in West London for black and white youth to socialise together. The role played by Punk Rock\, in uniting young people in 1970s sectarian Belfast\, is also featured. \nIn addition to historical elements\, ORS tracks the disturbing contemporary drifts to the Right across the political west and the role of anti-racism social media groups inside today’s cultural battlegrounds. It looks at Grime music today and the historic role played by black musicians in British music. \n  \nSouthampton Film Week is delighted to present this Regional premiere of ON RESISTANCE STREET in partnership with Solent University. A Q&A with Director\, Richard David and Crew will follow the screening. \n  \n

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. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNVTmWRcUbY \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:THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME WITH LIVE COMPTON ORGAN ACCOMPANIMENT
DESCRIPTION:THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME\nCert PG | 1923 | Dir. Wallace Worsley | Drama/Romance | USA | 133 mins \nSouthampton Film Week and Silver Street Films proudly present The Hunchback of Notre Dame with Aaron Hawthorne at the Guildhall Compton Organ.\n  \n \nStep into the mesmerising world of silent cinema as Aaron Hawthorne takes you on a thrilling musical journey alongside the iconic 100-year-old silent thriller\, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Get ready to be transported to the enchanting streets of Paris as Aaron breathes new life into this cinematic gem. \n In 15th-century Paris\, the brother of the archdeacon plots with the gypsy king to foment a peasant revolt. Meanwhile\, a freakish hunchback falls in love with a gypsy dancer. The Hunchback of Notre Dame was Universal’s largest-scale silent film and paved the way for the rest of their enduring legacy of gothic horror from the golden age of film. A heart-rending adaption of Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel\, Notre Dame de Paris with a legendary performance by Lon Chaney. \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 The Hunchback of Notre Dame was produced\, whilst enjoying the magnificent Compton Organ and a glimpse of an often over-looked jewel in the City’s rich heritage. \nIf you enjoyed last year’s screening of Buster Keaton’s Sherlock Jr (1924) with live music from the Compton organ than you will love this event! \n  \nTickets O2 presale from Thursday 26th October. General on sale from Saturday 28th October.

SUMMARY:THE MARK OF ZORRO with live musical accompaniment
DESCRIPTION:THE MARK OF ZORRO \nCert U | 1920 | Dir. Fred Niblo | Adventure/Western/Romance | USA | 80 mins \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSilent feature screening with live musical accompaniment \nThis genre-defining swashbuckler adventure is considered to be the world’s first action adventure film and the first time the iconic masked hero was portrayed on screen. \nFred Niblo’s The Mark of Zorro (1920) not only gave birth to a genre but established a new persona for star Douglas Fairbanks. Just like Fairbank’s masked hero the film catapulted him from standard film actor to one of Hollywood’s first superstars. Elements of the film and Fairbanks’ portrayal would later inspire Bob Kane’s most famous of heroes\, Batman. \nSet in Spanish California\, Fairbanks portrays Don Diego Vega\, a comically effete young nobleman with a taste for tasselled sombreros and juvenile silk-hanky magic tricks. But when danger calls\, Diego swathes himself in black\, straps on a well-honed sword and storms the countryside as the mysterious Zorro. Slicing his initial into the faces of the “sentinels of oppression” and pausing only to boldly romance the woman (Marguerite De La Motte) to whom his shy alter-ego can hardly summon the courage to speak. \nThe Mark of Zorro is an uplifting escape adventure with the thrills which would be copied the world over throughout the rest of the history of cinema. \nThis special screening is co-produced by Turner Sims with Southampton Film Week in partnership with South West Silents. Live musical accompaniment comes from pianist Meg Morley and drummer Emiliano Caroselli. \nMeg Morely is an Australian-born\, UK-based pianist\, composer and improviser. Meg creates music within diverse artistic genres (silent film\, contemporary dance and ballet\, solo piano\, contemporary jazz ensembles and electronic music). Classically-trained from the age of two\, Meg has worked with various dance companies (English National Ballet\, Rambert Company\, Matthew Bourne\, Pina Bausch). She performs and composes for international film festivals and institutions (BFI\, Nederlands Silent Film Festival\, Kino Lorber). She recently released a second album with Meg Morley Trio (Richard Sadler on bass\, Emiliano Caroselli on drums) who have also recorded and toured her original scores for silent film. \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

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: 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
