EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: John Singer Sargent

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: John Singer Sargent

CTC

John Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era. What made his ‘swagger’ portraits remarkable was his power over his sitters, what they wore and how they were presented to the audience. Through interviews with curators, contemporary fashionistas and style influencers, Exhibition on Screen’s film will examine how Sargent’s unique practice has influenced modern art, culture and fashion. Filmed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Tate Britain, London, the exhibition reveals Sargent’s power to express distinctive personalities, power dynamics and gender identities during this fascinating period of cultural reinvention. Alongside 50 paintings by Sargent sit stunning items of clothing and accessories worn by his subjects, drawing the audience into the artist’s studio. Sargent’s sitters were often wealthy, their clothes costly, but what happens when you turn yourself over to the hands of a great artist? The manufacture of public identity is as controversial and contested today as it was at the turn of the 20th century, but somehow Sargent’s work transcends the social noise and captures an alluring truth with each brush stroke.

Marek Edelman, the last surviving ŻOB commander who died in 2009, said their inspiration to fight was "not to allow the Germans alone to pick the time and place of our deaths". According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the uprising was "one of the most significant occurrences in the history of the Jewish people".

Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse EOS

Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse EOS

CTC

Claude Monet was an avid horticulturist and arguably the most important painter of gardens in the history of art, but he was not alone. Great artists like Van Gogh, Bonnard, Sorolla, Sargent, Pissarro and Matisse all saw the garden as a powerful subject for their art. These great artists, along with many other famous names, feature in an innovative and extensive exhibition from The Cleveland Museum of Art and The Royal Academy, London. From the exhibition walls to the wonder and beauty of artists’ gardens like Giverny and Seebüll, the film takes a magical and widely travelled journey to discover how different contemporaries of Monet built and cultivated modern gardens to explore expressive motifs, abstract color, decorative design and utopian ideas. Guided by passionate curators, artists and garden enthusiasts, this remarkable collection of Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, and avant-garde artists of the early twentieth century will reveal the rise of the modern garden in popular culture and the public’s enduring facination with gardens today. Long considered spaces for expressing colour, light and atmosphere, the garden has occupied the creative minds of some of the worlds greatest artists. As Monet said, ‘Apart from painting and gardening, I’m no good at anything’. For lovers of art or lovers of gardens, this is an ideal film.

Pink Floyd: The Wall

M

Pink Floyd's expression of generational angst is given striking visual form in this ambitious feature's images married with the psychedelic soundtrack into a compelling whole. “Without question the best of all serious fiction films devoted to rock.” One of the more exceptional, unprecedented films to ever come from Great Britain, a guttural howl of rage at the darkest aspects of English culture. In this visual riff on Pink Floyd's album "The Wall," Rock Star Pink (Bob Geldof) is looking back on his isolated childhood. Through a swirl of flashbacks and chemical-induced hallucinations, we shuffle though time and place, reality and nightmare venturing into his memories, each one a brick in the wall he has gradually built around his feelings. As he withdraws from reality, he imagines himself as unfeeling demagogue, for whom all that is left is the demonstration of power over his unthinking audience, culminating in the excess of his world and the world around him. His internal self-trial follows, as the witnesses of his past fife, the very people who have contributed to the building of the wall, come forward and testify against him. Incredible music – incredible tale of fame gone wrong, serving to bring the music and the tale to life.

From the brilliant filmmaker Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) comes this sweet parody of himself alongside a beautiful thank you to those faithful people working with him.

Channelling Gondry’s imaginative, innovative & anxious energy into the role of Marc, the director of a tumultuous film production.

Joined by a small crew of his exhausted, long-suffering, loyal collaborators, Marc’s battle to overcome self-sabotage, procrastination and distractions is depicted with the flair, vitality and whimsy that only a Gondry film can bring.

MMature themes and violence

Paris, 1887. Duels have been officially outlawed but still regularly happen as a matter of honour. When legendary swordsman Clément becomes entangled in an illegal fencing bout between his nephew and a far more experienced army colonel, women’s rights activist Marie-Rose attempts to manipulate the conventions of duelling to raise attention for her feminist cause – and that honour is not just for men! When Clément and Marie-Rose join forces, they must defend so much more than outdated notions of honour! Actor and director Vincent Perez's (Alone in Berlin) historical film THE EDGE OF THE BLADE makes excellent use of all sorts of duels - with épées, pistols, and sabres on horseback, while unmasking the feminist movement whilst keeping you on the edge of your seat.

The Road To Patagonia

The Road To Patagonia

M

Encore Screening The Road to Patagonia is a stunning, intimate and unflinching series of love letters within a documentary – firstly a love between two people, and secondly between humanity and the Earth. We follow Matty Hannon on an incredible solo adventure, to surf the west coast of the Americas by motorbike, from the top of Alaska to the tip of Patagonia. But deep in the wilderness - alone with the wolves and the bears - the journeyer’s plans unexpectedly fall to pieces. After losing everything, and on the cusp of quitting he meets the girl of his dreams, a permaculture farmer named Heather Hillier who throws caution to the wind and sells her urban-farm to buy a bike of her own. Together riding south, the duo meet with Zapatista rebels, Amazonian shamans and Mapuche leaders whose salient words crack the adventurers’ cultural veneer, leaving them with existential questions. The 50,000km surfing odyssey becomes beautifully complicated by their decision to downshift from motorcycles to horseback, presenting a relational approach to the breathtaking landscapes and a host of challenges that ultimately become extremely rewarding. Hannon and Hillier succeed in beautifully capturing deeply human moments during the world-first expedition, and the noticeable lack of camera-crew becomes The Road to Patagonia’s strength. The theme of deep ecology underpins the entire film, visually communicated through exquisite cinematography and emotional verité sequences. Shot over 16 years, the result is an adventurous exposé on the more-than-human world, offering a physical and spiritual odyssey to better understand our place in Nature.
