A MOVING IMAGE CELEBRATION
Sunday 23 March 2003 at The OTHER Cinema
Rupert Street, London W1
Tel: 020 7437 0757
Tube: Piccadilly Circus/Leicester Square
Afternoon session: 1.30 - c6.00 (£10, £7 concs.) Baader: 8.30 (£7) For
10 years independent film journal Vertigo has promoted innovation,
imagination and diversity across the whole of our moving image culture,
ranging widely from the local to the international in its cogent
analysis of both the content and context of some of the most remarkable
film works of the nineties. Few magazines are tracking such productions,
fewer still with Vertigo's polemical edge and award-winning design. Now,
in partnership with a number of independent image collaborators, Vertigo
celebrates a decade of debate with a day of screenings and discussion.
Vertigo (£4.50) is available from the Box Office.
CINEMA 16: BEST OF BRITISH SHORT FILM.
Acclaimed producer Luke Morris has assembled a unique DVD of shorts from
the likes of Asif Kapadia, Lynne Ramsay, John Smith and Christopher
Nolan. We showcase a selection of the best. Potent Images: A short
programme of experimental cinema. Some of the most exciting work around
is non-narrative and being made by artist filmmakers, presented here by
curator Lucy Reynolds in association with LUX.
WHAT KIND OF CINEMA DO WE WANT?
Never has imaginative film felt so under threat; never has technology
promised such radical new possibilities for an envisioned cinema of the
future. In discussion are director Asif Kapadia ('The Warrior') and
screenwriter Tony Grisoni ('In This World'), Christopher Roth (‘Baader’-
see below) and other high profile contributors to be announced.
IN THE DOCHOUSE Two remarkable North American films in the regular
documentary strand. An Injury to One (Travis Wilkerson, 2002, US) 53
mins. London Premiere. A compelling and innovative examination of
repression and resistance in C20 America, scored by Will Oldham and Jim
O'Rourke. Shipyards Lament (Andrew Connors, 2002, Can) 40 mins. UK
Premiere. An elegiac journey through the mythic landscape of Western
Canada, charting a personal response to a rapidly changing frontier
community.
AND
BAADER (Christopher Roth, 2001, Ger) 129 mins. Subtitles. English
Premiere.
Cast: Andreas Giering, Laura Tonka, Vadim Glowna. Fast-paced, stylish
and provocative exploration of the life and times of Germany's
Baader-Meinhof group. Independent in spirit and production, it's a
radical revisiting of the turbulent 70s and an edgy expose of the legacy
and lure of extreme political action. It is hoped that Christopher Roth
will introduce the film.
