Artes Mundi 6 Fri 24 Oct 2014 — Sun 22 Feb 2015

Following on from our successful collaboration with shortlisted artist Phil Collins (2012) as part of Artes Mundi 5, we are delighted to be once again working with Artes Mundi; this year to present work by Karen Mirza and Brad Butler from the UK and Sharon Lockhart from the USA. Works by the other Artes Mundi 6 shortlisted artists will be shown at National Museum Cardiff and Ffotogallery, Penarth. Artes Mundi is a biennial exhibition showing some of the world’s leading and most stimulating contemporary art and is the UK’s largest art prize. It also operates a learning and interpretation programme that seeks to engage a wide range of communities from Wales and beyond.

The Artes Mundi 6 shortlist was chosen by Adam Budak, independent curator and Sabine Schaschl, Director and Curator of Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich, from over 800 nominations. It features Carlos Bunga (Portugal), Omer Fast (Israel), Theaster Gates (USA), Sanja Iveković (Croatia), Ragnar Kjartansson (Iceland), Sharon Lockhart (USA), Renata Lucas (Brazil), Renzo Martens (The Netherlands) and the Institute of Human Activity, Karen Mirza and Brad Butler (UK). The Artes Mundi 6 exhibition is supported by a team of Live Guides who will lead free weekly tours, workshops and family drop–in activities, exploring themes highlighted by the artists’ work.

Artes Mundi 6 at Chapter

Sharon Lockhart Sharon Lockhart works with individuals and groups to make still and moving images that are both visually compelling and socially engaged. Her collaborations sometimes span years, working closely with her subjects to understand many aspects of their lives. The resulting films and photographs embody a shared creative experience. The exhibition also becomes a collaboration and an opportunity to think about the representational devices used to frame and engage her subjects and the viewer. In previous works for example, Lunch Break (2008) and Double Tide (2009), Lockhart immerses herself in the lives of workers. Lunch Break describes a specific time and place, Maine’s Bath Iron Works, at the start of the 21st century. Double Tide is more timeless, documenting the work of a female clam digger working a rare ‘double tide’— a day when both low tides occur in daylight hours, at dawn and dusk. In each case, the subject is framed by the workplace.

In several recent works including Podwórka (2009) and Milena (2013) Sharon has been focussing on children. In the courtyards (podwórka) of a dilapidated Polish city, following groups of children as they effortlessly invent their own spaces of play within the existing architecture. While on the set, Sharon befriended Milena, who would become a key figure in her life and who would inspire a series of other works. Her exhibition here at Chapter will include ideas about childhood, philosophical inquiry, and the politics of the voice and a new film Rudzienko (2014) based on her research on Polish, Jewish pedagogue Januz Korczak and his seminal essay ‘Rights of the Child’. This work has been co–commissioned by Liverpool Biennial, FACT and the Kadist Art Foundation and premieres at FACT in October 2014.

Karen Mirza and Brad Butler, The Unreliable Narrator, 2014, video, 2– channel video installation, audio 16’20”. Courtesy of waterside contemporary, London.

The Museum of Non Participation is a fictional museum by London–based artists Karen Mirza and Brad Butler. For the duo, the term ‘non participation’ is a useful device for questioning and challenging current conditions of political involvement and resistance. How does one participate in or withdraw from political realities, individually and collectively? What social spaces support or deter such actions? And how can art represent, facilitate, or intervene in this process? Made up of film, sound, text, and performed actions, The Museum of Non Participation serves as the conceptual platform from which to address these questions. For Artes Mundi 6 they will exhibit The Unreliable Narrator, a constellation of works that take advantage of the gap between fiction and reality. In You are the Prime Minister, a prominent neon becomes an empowering invitation to take up the title role in a fantasy fiction. It is soon revealed to be misleading: the statement belongs to a larger text from a scholarship exam for thirteen year–old boys entering Eton College, an elite school that has

trained 19 of Britain’s Prime Ministers and 12 members of the current Government. In a video installation a voice speaks of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, alternately from a position of the terrorists and of a seemingly impartial commentator. The video sourced from CCTV recordings of the siege, together with telephone conversations between the attackers and their controllers suggest that the event was performed for the benefit of news cameras: “this is just a trailer; the main feature is yet to come”. As the Narrator continues to hijack the rhetoric of cultural and political discourse to rupture, Mirza and Butler expose an absurd ventriloquist act. Mirza and Butler have exhibited internationally, including at FACT, Liverpool, Centro de Arte Dos De Mayo, Madrid, La Capella, Barcelona, Arnolfini, Bristol, and Serpentine Gallery, London. More recently The New Deal at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and The Guest of Citation at Performa 13, New York. They were nominated for the Jarman Award 2013 and are represented by Galeri Non (Istanbul) and Waterside Contemporary (London).

The Festival can be entertaining, dangerous, confusing, life–affirming, playful, provocative, witty, engaging, irritating and everything in between. This year’s Festival takes its title from the 2009 science fiction thriller ‘District 9’ (directed by Neill Blomkamp), a multi–layered allegory that explores our

attitudes to outsiders. The title is not a theme but rather a starting point in which participants can explore how we co–exist.

Mon 20 Oct 8pm Presented by Artscape Theatre Centre Written by Mike Van Graan Directed by Lara Bye

Tue 21 Oct 8pm Presented by GBR Productions in association with the State Theatre of Pretoria Directed by: Mpumelelo Paul Grootboom Written by: Mpumelelo Paul Grootboom & Aubrey Sekhabi

During the era of reconciliation, Nelson Mandela encouraged South Africans to reach out and touch each other’s lives: white middle class Ellen Robinson and her family adopted a three year old black child called Lindiwe. Now, fourteen years later, she’s at high school, coming to terms with her life in a changing South Africa, her future carved out, but her identity uncertain. All seems well – until her older cousin seeks her out and forces her to confront her true heritage... £12/£10/£8 Recommended for audiences aged 12+

‘Mike van Graan remains one of the country’s most brilliantly incisive playwrights with an ability to capture the essence of the South African psyche….’ Artlink South Africa Afrovibes

12

Thabo Mbeki succeeded Nelson Mandela as President of South Africa in 1999. With a host of characters played by five actors, the play revisits some of his most famous speeches, laying bare his powers of persuasion as an orator. His frequently controversial nine years in high office, his style of governance and impact on his citizens are explored through intriguing, compelling and often satirical insights from colourful youth leader Dada Mokone, played by Presley Chweneyagae. Grootboom’s incisive plays are well known to UK audiences: his trilogy of Township Stories, Foreplay and Welcome to Rocksburg have led to his nickname, ‘The Township Tarantino’. £12/£10/£8 Recommended for audiences aged 14+

‘Presley Chweneyagae, known to most South Africans because of his role in the movie “Tsotsi”, was marvellous’ Moira de Swardt, artlink.co.za

No instruments, no music lessons – just their own voices and local inspiration … that’s all these 20–somethings had during their Soweto childhood. The group’s music is underpinned by a great rhythmic vocal bass line and beat boxing while the other two voices provide the ever–changing top lines. The award–winning, platinum–selling trio comes to Afrovibes 2014 direct from the Apollo Theater in Harlem. £12/£10/£8 Suitable for all ages

‘The threesome generate genuinely incredible music using only their voices. It’s a beautiful thing to witness’ The List

Uncles and Angels + Dark Cell (Double Bill) Thu 23 Oct 8pm Uncles and Angels is a breath–taking interactive dance and video collaboration between experimental film–maker Mocke J van Veuren and Nelisiwe Xaba, whose ground breaking productions have toured throughout Africa as well as North and South America and Europe. The central allusion in this piece is the Reed Dance, well known in Southern Africa as a colourful, cultural celebration that is meant to promote respect for young women and preserve the customs of girls remaining virgins until marriage. Drawing inspiration from the history of South African ex–political prisoners of Robben Island, Themba Mbuli’s award–winning dance work Dark Cell uses the concept of a prison cell as a metaphor for mental imprisonment. £12/£10/£8

Biko’s Quest

Skierlik Presented by arrangement with Lentswe Arts Projects Fri 24 Oct 8pm Written and performed by Philip Dikoltla This award–winning play revisits the horror of a racially–motivated shooting spree that devastated the remote settlement of Skierlik in 2008. Thomas moved away after his wife and three month old daughter were killed in the atrocity: the burden of living alone in the family home was unbearable. But now he’s returning. We ride with him on the long dirt road back to Skierlik. Following Thomas’s thoughts, we too experience what he is about to face back home in his tiny shack: the blue shack that he knows so well, with the padlock on the door. Winner of Best Production at the 2013 Zabalaza Theatre Festival Winner of the Standard Bank Ovation Award at the 2013 National Arts Festival £12/£10/£8 Recommended for audiences aged 14+

‘I left the Baxter Theatre with my emotions shaken and stirred … I could smell the red dust while sitting in the dark of the theatre with the tears coursing down my cheeks’ Marilu Snyders, What’s On in Capetown

Memory – Identity – History – Emotion: these are the cornerstones of Biko’s Quest. The life, death and legacy of the inspirational campaigner, murdered at the hands of the security police during the apartheid era in South Africa, give us this powerful large cast production. It takes the audience on a poignant and emotional journey through danced storytelling, often joyous, then dropping into the depths of tragedy. “It is better to die for an idea that will live, than to live for an idea that will die” Steve Biko. £12/£10/£8 Recommended for audiences aged 10+

Fri 10 Oct 7pm + 9pm

We welcome back Clwb Ifor Bach and the musical wonders they bring with them. This month’s showcase features The Gentle Good. His latest album, Y Bardd Anfarwol, won the inaugural ‘Welsh Language Album of the Year’ prize at this year’s National Eisteddfod. With the likes of Meic Stevens, Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog and Georgia Ruth previously performing at Chapter, this date is sure to be another showcase of raw Welsh talent. Keep an eye on the website for further details.

Key (37 now) climbs into his poetry clothes and leans against his mic stand for another seventy minutes. Now charming, he will recollect simple tales of love, gaze dead–eyed at the ladies, recite verse and do basic talking. A lot of fairly grubby water’s sloshed under Key’s bridge of late so he’ll be churning that up. He’s also fairly interested to lift the lid on Hollywood. There’ll be some Indian poetry, Indian beer and, if he can get his act together, a spotlight. Other potential themes will be owls and maybe fairies.

Keen to divide the pair Freder’s father authorises inventor Rotwang to kidnap Maria and use her to create a robot that will keep the workers in line.

Abertoir Horror Film Festival Halloween takeover!

Abertoir’s Cold Cuts 70mins

A collection of fantastic new short horror films featuring creepy kids, creepy carnival rides, creepy ghosts and if you think butterflies are lovely, just wait....! A thrilling blend of this year’s discoveries and the best from our previous short films competition, showcasing the best horror has to offer.

Bad Film Club:

The Faculty USA/1999/104mins/15. Dir: Robert Rodriguez. With: Josh Hartnett, Elijah Wood, Clea DuVall.

It’s Halloween and what better way to fend off ghosts and monsters than with a Sci–fi adventure set in a High School where the students suspect the teaching staff of being aliens. With students going missing and faculty acting suspiciously will they be able to discover the truth before the population is wiped out? Although fairly low on the Bad Film Club Scale, this movie features one of the best Jon Stewart supporting roles since Death To Smoochy. Note: These movies contain a live running commentary

Coherence USA/2013/89mins/ctba. Dir: James Ward Byrkit. With: Emily Baldoni, Maury Sterling, Nicholas Brendon.

A strikingly original sci–fi chiller that skilfully plays on the well–known theory that every decision has different outcomes that play out in parallel realities. But what would happen if these alternate realities start occupying the same physical location? A real mind–bender that throws a group of dinner party guests into an infinite nightmare of paranoia where nothing and no–one are necessariliy where they belong.

Clockwise from top: Lifeforce, Coherence, Abertoir Cold Cuts

Once again, Abertoir, Wales’ International Horror Festival www.abertoir.co.uk, is uprooting from Aberystwyth and slicing up their prime cuts of brand new sci–fi horrors for Halloween night! No tricks, but plenty of treats in store! Tickets can be purchased individually or you can come for the whole night for just £20.

Venezuela/2013/101mins/ctba: Dir: Alejandro Hidalgo. With: Rosmel Bustamante, Adriana Calzadilla, Simona Chirinos.

A mother returns home from prison after serving a sentence for her husband’s murder, but a series of terrifying supernatural incidents hint at some startling secrets from within the house, where even time itself cannot be trusted. This is last year’s highest grossing Venezuelan theatrical release, cleverly scripted, with enough brain tingling moments to make you want to take up quantum mechanics!

Lifeforce UK/1985/97mins/18. Dir: Tobe Hooper. With: Steve Railsback, Mathilda May, Peter Firth.

In the tail of Halleys comet astronauts discover an ancient ship with occupants aboard who are brought to London for study. But there is something wrong with these humanoids: something evil, something hungry. Police inspector Caine and the surviving astronaut Carlsen are determined to stop them as they wreak havoc on the city. Vastly entertaining and incredibly camp, this is a lost classic of British science fiction.

Fri 31 Oct — Thu 6 Nov USA/2014/89mins/15. Dir: Jeff Baena. With: Audrey Plaza, Dane DeHaan, John C. Reilly.

Zach is grieving for his recently deceased girlfriend Beth, finding comfort spending time with her parents who treat him like a son. Then one night Beth shows up: there’s a big hole in the ground at her gravesite, but she can’t remember dying. After confronting his shock, Zach’s in bliss. Beth’s memory loss has even wiped out the fact that she’d wanted to break up just before she died. But as time goes by she becomes stranger and she isn’t the only cadaver whose reset button has been punched. Sometimes tender, sometimes frantic and always funny.

As Blanche’s fragile world crumbles, she turns to her sister Stella for solace, but her downward spiral brings her face to face with the brutal, unforgiving Stanley Kowalski. Tennessee Williams’ timeless masterpiece is given a strikingly raw and emotional update.

Off in search of adventure, Valentine and Proteus are best friends until they both fall for Silvia the daughter of the Duke of Milan.

Fri 26 Sep — Thu 9 Oct Norway/2014/116mins/subtitles/15. Dir: Hans Petter Moland. With: Stellan Skarsgård, Kristofer Hivju, Bruno Ganz.

In this thriller as blackly comic as the snow is white, we meet Citizen of the Year Nils who snow ploughs the wild mountains of Norway. The celebrations are cut short when his son is murdered. Seeking revenge and justice, his actions ignite a war between the vegan gangster ‘the Count’ and the Serbian mafia boss ‘Papa’. Winning a blood feud isn’t easy, but Nils has something going for him: Heavy machinery and beginners luck.

Of Horses and Men Mon 29 Sep — Thu 2 Oct Iceland/2013/81mins/subtitles/15. Dir. Benedikt Erlingsso. With: Ingvar E. Sigurðsson, Charlotte Bøving.

Told in a series of vignettes, this is a story of the people in rugged, rural Iceland and the symbiosis and separation between human and equine lives. Beautifully shot scenes paying attention not only to the grace and beauty of the beasts, but to their personalities and individual mannerisms. Love and death are interlaced with immense consequences and the fortunes of the people are seen through the horse’s perception with deadpan humour.

Super Duper Alice Cooper Mon 20 Oct. Doors: 7pm. Film: 8pm

USA/2014/98mins/15. Dir: Sam Dunn, Reginald Harkema, Scot McFadyen.

Combining interviews with a bounty of footage, this is the story of Vincent Furnier, a preacher’s son who struck fear into the hearts of parents everywhere as Alice Cooper, the ultimate rock star of the bizarre. From the advent of Alice as frontman for a group of Phoenix freaks in the sixties to the hazy decadence of celebrity in the seventies and the winking comeback as glam metal godfather in the eighties, it’s a sight to behold watching Alice and Vincent battle for each other’s souls.

Space is the Place Sun 19 Oct

Prophet, jester, shaman and avant–jazz bandleader Sun Ra sets up a concert to bring his vision of music as salvation to the black community. But The Overseer, a satanic overlord, is determined to stop him reaching the people and they duel for the fate of the galaxy. A freaky and far–fetched blend of blaxploitation, sci–fi and free jazz, this is an essential text in Afrofuturism.

In order to make the deal more attractive to the court Goltzius, along with the Pelican Printing Company, offers to stage live dramatizations of six tales, each demonstrating a different sexual taboo.

Episode III: Enjoy Poverty Sat 25 Oct

Netherlands/2008/90mins/no cert. Dir: Renzo Martens.

Images of poverty are the Congo’s most lucrative export, generating more revenue than traditional exports like gold, diamonds, or cocoa. However, just as with these traditional exports, those providing the raw material: the poor being filmed, hardly benefit from it at all. Amidst ethnic war and relentless economic exploitation, Martens attempts to teach the poor how to benefit from their biggest resource. Director Renzo Martens is a shortlisted artists for Artes Mundi 6, for which we’re a core venue. You can read more about Artes Mundi 6 on pages 4 – 8.

Set in the summer of 1984, Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is on strike. At the Gay Pride March in London, a group of gay and lesbian activists decides to raise money to support the families of the striking miners. But there is a problem. The Union seems embarrassed to receive their support. The activists are not deterred, however, and they decide to ignore the Union and go directly to the miners. They identify a mining village in deepest Wales and set off in a mini bus to make their donation in person. And so begins the extraordinary story of two seemingly alien communities who form a surprising and ultimately triumphant partnership. + Audio Description on all screenings in cinema 1.

In 1984, a conservative government led by Margaret Thatcher declared war on Britain’s unions, taking on the strongest in the country; the National Union of Mineworkers. Thirty years on, this is the raw first experience of those who lived through Britain’s longest strike and rarely seen archive footage, a unique insight into the dramatic events. + Q&A with director Owen Gower and special guests.

The Riot Club Fri 31 Oct — Thu 6 Nov UK/2014/106mins/15. Dir: Lone Scherfig. With: Natalie Dormer, Sam Claflin, Douglas Booth.

UK/2014/122mins/15. Dir: Anton Corbijn. With: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Issa Karpov, Willem Dafoe, Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright.

In 1960s Poland, Anna, a young novice nun is sent to visit her hitherto unknown aunt Wanda, a tough, high–functioning alcoholic whose louche lifestyle is in stark contrast to Anna’s cloistered, naïf existence. Dispassionately revealing that Anna was born into a Jewish family and that her parents were murdered during the war, she takes her niece with her on a road trip to find their resting place. On their journey they learn secrets from the past and Anna develops a new curiosity about the world she is about to close herself off from. An austere, exquisite drama that demonstrates with simplicity and delicate humour the ways in which these women must navigate their lives irrevocably affected by history.

Based on the novel by John le Carré, this is a tense, cerebral story of post– 9/11 espionage with powerful central performances. + Audio Description on all screenings in cinema 1.

Magic in the Moonlight

Withnail and I

Fri 17 — Thu 30 Oct

Sat 18 — Tue 21 Oct

USA/2014/97mins/12A. Dir: Woody Allen. With: Colin Firth, Emma Stone, Eileen Atkins, Marcia Gay Harden.

UK/1987/107mins/15. Dir: Bruce Robinson. With: Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths, Ralph Brown.

Set in the south of France against a backdrop of wealthy mansions, the swinging joints of the Jazz Age Cote D’Azur and fashionable spots for the decadent and wealthy, this new romantic comedy from Allen follows the personal and professional complications which ensue once an Englishman brought in to help unmask a possible swindle.

We are in a 1960s London that is more sleazy than swinging. Two underemployed actors fed up with damp, piles of washing–up and mad drug dealers decide to leave their squalid flat for an idyllic holiday in the countryside, courtesy of Withnail’s uncle Monty. But their rural survival skills are limited and things go even further awry with the arrival of Uncle Monty. A sharp, endlessly quotable script and perfect performances make this a contemporary classic.

Mon 20 Oct

As South Africa prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary of the advent of democracy in 1994, it’s hard to believe the ‘Mandela miracle’ nearly didn’t happen. In an orgy of countrywide violence, some were intent on derailing the first free elections. Now, for the first time, those responsible for countless deaths and widespread mayhem explain how they nearly brought South Africa to its knees. A chilling look at what these hard men did to thwart democracy, but how they have now made an uneasy peace with the ‘Rainbow Nation’ in their own different ways. + Followed by a panel discussion

Fri 24 Oct — Thu 6 Nov

Sun 26 — Thu 30 Oct

UK/2014/99mins/15. Dir: Yann Demange. With: Jack O’Connell, Sean Harris, Sam Reid.

Iran/2013/125mins/subtitles/15. Dir: Mohammad Rasoulof.

When Gary, a new recruit in the British army gets separated from his unit after a routine house search escalates into a terrifying street riot in Belfast, he must find a way to survive the night telling friend from foe in this gripping and uncompromisingly tense drama.

Boyhood Fri 24 — Wed 29 Oct USA/2014/166mins/15. Dir: Richard Linklater. With: Patricia Arquette, Ellar Coltrane, Ethan Hawke, Lorelei Linklater.

Filmed over 12 years with the same cast this is the ground–breaking and moving story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason. We dip in and out of Mason’s life as witnesses to his family’s ups and downs from his first year at school to adolescence, from road trips and family dinners, birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between.

This highly charged political thriller draws on real events to tell an unfortunately common tale of repression in contemporary Iran. Fourouzadeh, a former political prisoner under strict monitoring by the security service, has been secretly writing his memoirs with a plan to leave the country at publication. Khosrow, desperate for money to pay for his son’s hospitalization, is charged with recovering the manuscript. A slow–motion explosion of anti– authoritarian rage from a director living under a 20– year ban from filmmaking and whose cast cannot be credited for fear of retribution.

The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden Wed 29 + Thu 30 Oct USA/2013/120mins/adv15. Dir: Daniel Geller, Dayna Goldfine. With: Cate Blanchett, Sebastian Koch, Thomas Kretschmann.

A gripping tale of idealism gone lethally awry, told from letters, diaries and home movies and set in the brutal yet alluring landscape of the Galapagos Islands. In the 1920s a German couple craving solitude settled on the deserted island of Floreana and were irked when another couple decided to do the same, but real trouble came with the arrival of the self–styled “Baroness”. A parable about the search for paradise and what happens when a handful of individualists settle on the same small island seeking their own distinct and sometimes clashing notions of Eden.
