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: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. \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: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:ONLY LOVE MATTERS
DESCRIPTION:ONLY LOVE MATTERS\nCert 12A | 2023 | Dir. Dr Kamran Qureshi | Romance/Drama | UK | 92 mins \nFeature film screening plus Q&A with Director Dr Kamran Qureshi\, hosted by Dr Adam Vaughan. \n \nFresh from the successful UK premiere at BFI Southbank for the World Intersex Awareness Day\, Solent University in partnership with Southampton Film Week presents Only Love Matters. \nOnly Love Matters is a romantic feature film set in London\, UK. It is the first feature film in cinema history to have intersex lead characters set in the UK. The film has won over 30 awards in the festival circuit around the world. Over 300 collaborators from across the globe participated in the making of Only Love Matters from US\, UK\, Germany\, France\, China\, Russia\, India and Pakistan. The film introduces many young brilliant actors. Only Love Matters introduces real life intersex lead characters and contributes to the visual representation of intersex and towards equality\, diversity and inclusion in global cinema. \nOnly Love Matters is a story of sacrifices of a mother for her adopted daughter and her struggle for the rights of people like her through the discovery of a life-changing book\, Only Love Matters\, by a young woman. There are two women\, two timelines\, two generations and always the one thing that truly matters is Love. It sheds light on the social\, psychological and medical issues of intersex individuals in British society. While discussing the excessively highlighted issue of infantile sex reassignment surgeries\, the film flags the discrimination and impact of society’s behaviour that leads to the mental health issues created for intersex people and their children. It also reveals the unique story of intersex-mother and daughter’s romantic lives\, two different cultures and two different periods running simultaneously. It is a story of love\, relationships\, existence and acceptance. It examines the powerful bonds between us and inspires great change. \nThe film features two original songs\, a regional language desert song ‘Piya\,’ composed in India by Rishi Singh and sung by Manjeera Ganguly\, while the English song\, ‘Only Love Matters\,’ is a slow ballad\, composed by Phillip McHugh in UK and sung by Ashley Sollars and Josephine McHugh. \n \nThe story\, research and direction are by award-winning director Dr Kamran Qureshi\, who is also a fellow of UK Higher Education Academy. He is a Lecturer in Film Production at the Solent University Southampton and co-founder of KQ Movies and Evergreen Media Europe Ltd. The film is produced by Dr Iram Qureshi\, a Senior Lecturer in Ravensbourne University\, London and the founder of KQ Movies. Both as a team have an extensive knowledge of British and Hollywood Cinema. They both are PhD graduates in (British and American) Film and TV from England\, United Kingdom. The screenwriter is Iannis Aliferis\, an award-winning screenwriter. The team has years of experience in film\, television and media\, not only in professional practice but also as academics. \nThe film’s principal photography took place in the UK including London\, Beaconsfield and Norwich\, with a small portion in the colourful area of Great Indian Desert. There were over 40 locations in the movie including Frith Manor Equestrian Centre\, London\, Terrace Gardens\, Richmond Hill\, West London Film Studios\, Etcetera Theatre\, London and the University of East Anglia\, Norwich. It features the oldest pub in England\, The Royal Standard of England\, Beaconsfield\, where feature film The Theory of Everything was filmed. According to the United Nations up to 1.7 percent of babies are born with sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male and female. Previously known term was hermaphrodite\, research has established over 30 variations in sex characteristics that humans are born with. Till to date\, intersex is a taboo for many including in the US\, UK\, Australia and India. \nIntersex have been discriminated against in every field\, whether it’s sports\, entertainment\, education or workplaces. During the process of research and writing the screenplay\, the team was engaged with international intersex experts and organisations. The film’s research was conducted in the University of East Anglia and the film clips/research was presented and discussed at the INIA (Intersex New Interdisciplinary Approaches) Network supported by the European Commission; University of Westminster\, London; Nagoya University\, Japan; Solent University Southampton\, and University of Reading\, UK. Seven English language movies have been made in the US and Australia so far\, with intersex characters. First\, being American\, was Freaks (1932)\, which featured minor intersex character\, Josephine Joseph. The only Australian intersex film is Predestination (2014)\, which mis-represented intersex people. This release is set to be a significant milestone in cinematic history. \nOnly Love Matters has done phenomenally well on the film festival circuit and has won multiple awards including Best Director\, Best Producer\, Best Feature Film\, Best Screenplay\, Best Production Design\, Best Actress\, Best Editing\, Best Cinematography\, Best Makeup\, Best Romantic film\, Best Women film\, Best Message and Best Original Idea.\nhttps://onlylovemattersmovie.com/news

SUMMARY:WOMEN IN FOCUS
DESCRIPTION:WOMEN IN FOCUS\nCert U | Archive Film plus Q&A| 63 mins \nReclaiming a Hidden Film Heritage \n \nFor Southampton Film Week 2023\, join Professor Keith M Johnston as we present a screening of amazing archive films from UK women amateur filmmakers whose work has\, until now\, been unacknowledged and underrepresented. \nThese films were recently digitised as part of a UKRI-funded research project\, ‘Women in Focus’\, that set out to uncover the untapped heritage of these creative women. The project found over 1000 women who were involved in the amateur film world across the 20th century\, working on their own\, in small teams\, or as part of large amateur cine-club productions\, and winning plenty of awards along the way. \nThis event will highlight seven of those award-winning women and their films across different eras: a hidden history of filmmaking from the silent era through the 1980s. These creative\, provoking\, funny\, and insightful films cover multiple genres (animation\, silent comedy\, public safety film\, home movie\, apocalyptic drama) and challenge our view of what an amateur film might look like. \nThe event will feature an introduction from Professor Johnston (the project lead) with time for a short Q&A at the end. \nIncludes work by Joanna Fryers [Harrison]\, Sharon Gadsdon\, Breeda Kiely\, Frances Lascot\, Marjorie Martin\, Philippa Miller\, and Ruth Stuart. \nThis work comes from a joint UK-Ireland collaboration between the University of East Anglia\, Maynooth University\, and the University of Sussex; funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Irish Research Council (IRC)\, as part of the UK-Ireland Digital Humanities scheme.

With a particular interest as a creative practice researcher in the development of community-driven\, immersive\, audio-visual art projects\, he has delivered a number of Arts Council immersive audio-visual experiences in his hometown of Portsmouth\, including Octopuses & Other Sea Creatures (2022)\, and is developing Rituals for Earthly Survival for delivery in 2024. \n“In recent years\, live cinema has emerged as a contemporary mode of experiential entertainment\, offering audiences novel and immersive experiences that extend beyond traditional cinematic boundaries. This systematic literature review aims to identify\, analyse\, and synthesize existing research on live cinema\, with a focus on determining future lines of inquiry\, pinpointing new research questions\, and identifying gaps in the current body of knowledge. A comprehensive search for recent journal articles on the topic yielded 21 primary studies for review. The findings reveal that live cinema events\, such as Secret Cinema and immersive cinematic experiences at venues like the Prince Charles Cinema\, are characterized by their unique blend of film viewing\, interactive elements\, and participatory audience engagement. These events often disrupt conventional viewing strategies\, fostering active fandom and blurring the lines between spectator and performer. However\, despite their popularity\, there are concerns related to branding strategies\, commercial culture\, and the authenticity of the experience. Furthermore\, the studies underscore the importance of the communal aspect of these events\, the emotional investment they elicit\, and the specialized relationship between the audience and the text. In conclusion\, while live cinema offers a rich avenue for experiential entertainment research\, there remains a need for further exploration of its economic implications\, its impact on traditional cinema\, and the broader cultural shifts driving its popularity. Future research should also delve deeper into audience perceptions\, the role of technology\, and the sustainability of this entertainment mode.” \nDaniel Bowring BA (Hons.) MA PGCLTHE FHEA \nPost-Pandemic Intermediality – The Convergence of Theatre and Cinema  \nDaniel is currently undertaking a PhD at Solent University in Southampton and whose research surrounds intermediality\, the relationship between live and digital performance. Daniel studied his Bachelor of Arts degree at Solent University reading Film and Television Studies and then went on to complete a Masters degree in Theatre Directing at the University of East London. He has also completed a Post Graduate Certificate for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education for Theatre and Performing Arts at Rose Bruford College and has obtained a fellowship to the Higher Education Academy. \nDaniel has worked both as a performer and a theatre director and produced several theatre productions. Having had experience in both theatre and film\, this has built the foundations for his PhD research project. On the back of completing his Masters degree during the height of the Covid pandemic\, it became apparent that an investigation into how film and theatre came together during Covid and the effects the pandemic had on them warranted a PhD research project. Daniel hopes to complete his PhD and use his research findings to teach at university level. \n“This talk\, Post-Pandemic Intermediality – The Convergence of Theatre and Cinema\,  examines more closely the specific relationship between theatre and cinema during the pandemic through the mediatisation of social culture and the uses of technology. This talk questions now that society is in what could be considered a post-pandemic era\, whether there is a greater shift in how theatre and cinema relate and work together and whether any of the methods used during the pandemic have now firmly established themselves as credible possibilities of creation\, accessibility and immersion beyond traditional theatre and cinema. The pandemic increased society’s reliability on technology and media\, with the increase in streaming services\, particularly in cinema\, and the need for more accessibility\, theatre has started to adopt many of the already established cinematic conventions such as dedicated streaming platforms and tailor-made immersive experiences. The pandemic has very much bridged the gap between theatre and cinema and creatives are now beginning to establish a hybrid relationship between theatre and cinema as a more conventional mode of practice. This talk showcases these findings undertaken through the early stages of a PhD research project.” \nProfessor Sarah Atkinson: \nThe Future(s) of Cinema: Live\, Immersive & Experiential \nSarah Atkinson is Professor of Screen Media at King’s College London\, Editor of Routledge Resources Online: Screen Studies\, and co-editor of Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies. Sarah has published widely on the film\, cinema and screen industries including extensive work into the Live Cinema economy. She has worked on numerous funded immersive media projects and virtual reality initiatives. Sarah also adopts practice-based methodologies through the creation of her own original works which include video essays\, an interactive documentary\, immersive experiences and short films (including Live Cinema – walking the tightrope between stage and screen – Learning on Screen Award 2020 nominee). \nThe film industry has experienced a series of significant disruptions over the past 15 years which have collectively and indelibly changed the course of cinema viewing experience.\nThe wholesale of integration of digital film into the production workflow not only changed the style and aesthetics of film form\, it opened up new channels of digital distribution and access. These included new streaming-only models with Netflix debuting their first original film in 2015 (Beasts of No Nation\, Dir: Cary Joji Fukunaga) then other filmmakers of influence soon following suit with ‘Netflix first’ releases including Roma (2018\, Dir: Alfonso Cuarón).\nThe COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 impacted on both film consumption patterns and cinema production. With access to films restricted entirely to home viewing\, on-demand only releases intensified. The industry accelerated their use of virtual production – a suite of tools using Real Time Game Engines across the entire film production chain. Meanwhile immersive technologies opened up the possibility for audience engagement in 360-degree space at a time when the the large scale immersive experiences including those by Secret Cinema were halted.\nCinema-going has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels and questions remain as to whether it ever will – despite the high-profile box-office breaking one-off events which have provided a life line – including the Barbenheimer dual release and most recently Taylor Swift’s most profitable concert film of all time. Swift’s release has marked yet another key turning point – shifting the status of the traditional cinema-viewing environment through its melding with a live event.\nDrawing from my research\, I will reflect upon the outcomes of these various evolutions along the vectors of live\, immersive and experiential\, which I argue all involve the re-authentication of cinema as collective experience and which ultimately lead to a cinema of many futures. \n  \nTickets are Free but please book in advance.

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
