Woohoo…Phew. We’re back, we’re busy and you’re loving it. Your positive responses have been overwhelming. Thank you. We’re really pleased that you like the new Chapter as much as we do. And we love you for telling us what you think.

“The new Chapter is stunning.”

“Absolutely fantastic! I’ve been here almost every night since the new space opened.”

“The blend of old school features and new functionality is very refreshing.”

“Excellent feel to the new Chapter — very spacious both mentally and physically.”

“Love the space and the garden area is great.”

A big thank you too for telling us what you don’t like. There are still a few snags here and there and we’re on the case. We’re listening to what you have to say and making changes. More comfy seating is on its way, we now know how to use the lighting software properly (nothing’s as easy as a dimmer switch these days) and we’re generally sharpening up our act.

Gallery Open: Tue — Sat 10-8pm; Sun 2-8pm; Tue 29 + Wed 30 Dec: 1-5pm.Closed: Fri 25 — Mon 28 + Sun 31 Dec + Fri 1 Jan. Closed Mondays in January.

Fragile Absolutes is a selection of new and recent works by Irish artist Alan Phelan inspired by his ongoing engagement with political history, cultural theory, popular culture and masculinity. He traverses a number of sources and time periods: from current affairs, popular fiction and boy racers to nationalist heroes, world war, economics, psychoanalysis and globalisation. In doing so, he sets up a complex mix of literal and metaphorical references, simultaneously providing background information on many of his subjects, yet leaving them open to conflicting modes of interpretation.Phelan is also exhibiting work in the Caffi Bar. Lady From Mars (coitus a tergo), is an ink-jet print that spans the length of the wall opposite the Bar. The photo of what looks like a naked woman with her arm outstretched was among several taken on Mars and sent back to Earth by NASA’s explorer Spirit, causing a great deal of debate online as to whether it indicated that there was life on the red planet.The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated monograph produced by IMMA, Dublin, with essays by Seán Kissane, Curator, IMMA; Dušan Bjelic, Professor of Criminology at the University of Southern Maine in Portland, USA; Medb Ruane, writer and journalist; and Tony White, novelist and Leverhulme Trust Writer in Residence at the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies, London. The exhibition is a collaborative project between Chapter; IMMA, Dublin who commissioned and exhibited several of Phelan’s works; and Limerick City Gallery of Art.Born in Dublin in 1968, Alan Phelan studied at Dublin City University and Rochester Institute of Technology, New York. He has exhibited widely including Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; SKUC, Ljubljana; Feinkost, Berlin, and SKC, Belgrade. In Ireland he has exhibited at Mother’s Tankstation, Dublin; MCAC, Portadown; Limerick City Gallery of Art, and Solstice Arts Centre, Navan. He was editor/curator for Printed Project, issue 5, launched at the 51st Venice Biennale, and has curated exhibitions at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin; Project Arts Centre, Dublin, and Rochester, New York. Phelan was shortlisted for the AIB Art Prize in 2007.

Muscleby Greg Cullen

Fri 15 + Sat 16 Jan • 8pm • Gwe 15 + Sat 16 Ion Love them, or loathe them, men are everywhere. They have a habit of popping up, often unexpectedly, in our beds, wombs, wars and conversations. We find them in our arms, nightmares and fondest memories. They come, for better or for worse, in guises as disparate as grandfather and son, priest and lover, yet apparently all hail from Mars. No wonder being a man is problematic; it’s dangerous, pressured, ridiculous, often funny, sometimes tragic, but is also capable of being something beautiful. Muscle is a richly textured fusion of theatre, dance, music and documentary. Inspired by poignant interviews with males of all ages across Wales and performed by an eclectic all male cast, Muscle has been created by writer/director Greg Cullen and choreographer/dancer Phil Williams with young music pioneer Gareth Evans.£12/£8/£6Supported by the Arts Council of Wales and Notadigital.

Notesby Alyson McEvoyThe days of this past month have been filled with many a ray of autumn sunshine, drawing us out of doors, under and amidst a kaleidoscope of colour leafing its way from branch to ground below. Inside the doors of Chapter a kaleidoscopic vision of another kind unfolded. Dance unfurled under a prism of perspectives revealing itself in many guises. Dance Bytes mixed byte-sized portions of choreographic elucidation with dance performance, giving a glimpse of the thought, conception and inquiry motivating and propelling the movement. Dance here appears as a vast storehouse of meaning, an energetic expression of concept and idea, a vigorous tool of inquiry and experiment.One duo of dancer-choreographers, Joe Wild and Angharad Matthews, seemed to utilise dance as a medium of exploration. “This is not TV”, Joe remarked. So while the shiny, impenetrable surface in the living-room corner may titillate the eyes and ears with its glossy sights and sounds, sharing an air imbued with embodied experience, creative intention and expression may potentially engage the multiplicity of senses, intellect, and beyond — breath. None leave unaltered. But how? And why? And how to harness this reality and feed it into the creative process? Paisagem by Patuá Dance including Fernanada Amaral, Leila Bebb, Sally Edwards and Eeva-Maria Mutka, showed dance under a different driver. Movements here evolved not under the guidance of thought or idea primarily but in spontaneous response to group improvisation and movement encounters between the dancers, and between the inorganic structures created to bridge those gaps of ability — a wheelchair in this instance. The vastly innovative forms of relation and communication weaved in movement throughout this performance leads one to encounter dance as a means of heightening one’s awareness of perceived limits, and transcending them. Inspiring the attempt to find ever more ways of connecting and relating to others.Jo Shapland’s performance “(in)scape” shatters the vision of dance into yet another fragment of possibility. Here dance is a means of response, a moving articulation relating to the expansion of Oriel Mostyn Gallery in Llandudno. More broadly, movement appeared here as in conversation with the bounded regions in which the body is contained, in which it performs and lives. At times the bodies danced their struggle within the bounded region of the performance space. Writhing within door frames, confronted by walls and corners, articulating a tangible sense of confinement. The dancers reached into every crevice of the space, together, and apart, through limb, shadow, sound and breath, but in doing so they were reaching out from within, a space without limit or boundary it seemed to say.Some of the possibilities of dance, propelled from within by intellect, intuition and spirit.Notes is a monthly column that encourages writers to review/discuss our performing arts programme.

Shakespeare is the most acted and quoted artist in any culture, perhaps the greatest writer there has ever been, yet his identity remains a mystery.

Taking WoodstockFri 27 Nov — Thu 3 Dec • Gwe 27 Tach — Iau 3 RhagUSA/2008/121 mins/15. Dir: Ang Lee. With Demetri Martin, Henry Goodman, Imelda Staunton, Emile Hirsch, Paul Dano.

Based on the book by Elliot Tiber ‘Taking Woodstock: A True Story Of A Riot, a Concert and a Life’, this is an enjoyable and light-hearted comedy from the director of Brokeback Mountain telling the story of a young man whose parents are struggling to keep their small family motel in White Plains, Woodstock on an even keel. When he hears that a rock promoter is searching for somewhere to host an event, he jumps at the opportunity and offers them some land. Little does he know that he is helping to set in motion the generation-defining festival of the summer of ’69 as crowds of hippies, music lovers and Vietnam veterans flock to turn on, tune in and drop out along with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, The Who and Janis Joplin.

Cold SoulsFri 4 — Thu 10 Dec • Gwe 4 — Iau 10 Rhag USA/2009/101 mins/12A. Dir: Sophie Barthes. With Paul Giamatti, Emily Watson, David Strathairn.

Feeling overburdened as the lead in a particularly tough Chekhov play, Paul Giamatti (played by Paul Giamatti) decides that the answer to his metaphysical quandary is to temporarily check his soul into deep-freeze storage. While initially solving his problems with levity and perspective, difficulties arise when his soul is ‘trafficked’ to Russia to an ambitious young soap-opera actress. Balancing deftly between deadpan humour and pathos, this is a soul-searching piece of existential fun with more than a hint of Kaufman-style comedy.

Morris: A Life With Bells OnFri 27 Nov — Thu 3 Dec • Gwe 27 Tach — Iau 3 RhagUK/2009/100 mins/12A. Dir: Lucy Akhurst. With Charles Thomas Oldham, Derek Jacobi, Ian Hart, Sophie Thompson.

Derecq Twist is the avant garde leader of one of the leading Morris Dancing teams in the country. He’s a skilled and devout traditionalist who lives and breathes for Morris, but is also a daring and innovative pioneer. Thwarted from his dreams on his native shores, will he find what he’s been looking for with the Morris Men of Orange County or will the draw of home, and cider, be too great? A warm-hearted, and comic mock documentary full to the brim with great British humour. Cardiff Morris are performing in our cinema foyer before the screenings at 12pm on Sat 28 Nov + 8.15pm on Tue 1 Dec. We’re also joined by members of Cardiff Ladies Morris to perform at 8pm on Thu 3 Dec.www.cardiff-ladies-morris.co.uk

Bright Star Fri 27 Nov — Thu 3 Dec • Gwe 27 Tach — Iau 3 Rhag+ Fri 15 — Thu 21 Jan • Gwe 15 — Iau 21 IonUSA/2009/119 mins/PG. Dir: Jane Campion. With Abbie Cornish, Ben Whishaw, Paul Schneider.

Bright Star tells the story of the ill-fated love affair between the early 19th Century Romantic poet John Keats and his high spirited ‘girl next door’, fashion student Fanny Brawne. Jane Campion (The Piano) has created a high-minded and beautifully composed ode to love as the poet agonises over a false choice between love and art. His best friend and Fanny’s mother try their best to keep them from a union which could ruin them both, but sure that a thing of beauty is a joy for ever, the pair are blinded to such corporeal practicalities.

White RibbonFri 4 — Thu 10 Dec • Gwe 4 — Iau 10 RhagAustria/Germany/2009/144 mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Michael Haneke. With Christian Friedel, Ulrich Tukur, Burghart Klaussner.

On the eve of World War 1, a secluded village in Protestant northern Germany plays host to a series of eerie and increasingly viscous incidents involving the children of the community choir. Directed in icy black and white, Michael Haneke (Hidden, Funny Games) returns to his usual themes of guilt and denial, as the children are forced to wear the “white ribbon” of purity until their innocence is proved. A hauntingly provocative, award winning feature.

Paper HeartFri 4 — Thu 10 Dec • Gwe 4 — Iau 10 RhagUSA/2009/88 mins/PG. Dir: Nicholas Jasenovec. With Chalyne Yi, Michael Cera, Nicholas Jasenovec.

Charlyne Yi doesn’t believe in love. Well, at the very least, she doesn’t believe in fairy-tale love or the Hollywood mythology of love, and her own experiences have compounded her beliefs. Paper Heart follows comedian Charlyne and her good friend (and Director) Nick as they embark on a quest across America to make a documentary about the one subject she doesn’t fully understand. Searching for answers and advice, Charlyne talks with friends and strangers, scientists, bikers, romance novelists and children, with each of them offering diverse views on modern romance, as well as various answers to the age-old question: does true love really exist?

Bad Film ClubNicko and Joe bring their inimitable, live and irreverent DVD-style commentary to another couple of stinkers from the movie archive.

DaylightSun 6 Dec • Sul 6 RhagUSA/1996/115 mins/12A. Dir: Rob Cohen. With Sylvester Stallone.

Nicko and Joe carry on their tradition of bringing back the ‘best bad film’ of the past year for their Christmas special. A bunch of runaway robbers crash into a truck full of explosives causing mayhem. It’s up to Stallone and his squad to get them out but can he put his own past tragedies behind him?

OctopusSun 3 Jan • Sul 3 IonUSA/2000/100 mins/15. Dir: John Eyres. With Jay Harrington, Ravil Isyanov.

Johnny Mad Dog Fri 4 — Thu 10 Dec • Gwe 4 — Iau 10 Rhag France/2008/97 mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Jean-Stephane Sauvaire. With Christophe Minie, Daisy Victoria Vandy.

Winning the Regard Hope Award at Cannes, this unflinching drama pulls no punches in telling the story of children torn from their family and pressed into fighting an unnamed African civil war. Shot in vérité style and featuring unknown actors, some of whom are former child soldiers, Sauvaire’s first work of fiction explores the brutalisation of society by warfare. The ‘child army’ of ruthless killers, rapists and looters is led by 14 year old guerrilla Johnny Mad Dog, whose bravado is fed by the graphic imagery and glamour of Hollywood action movies.

TulpanFri 15 — Thu 21 Jan • Gwe 15 — Iau 21 IonKazakhstan/Russia/2008/100 mins/subtitled/12A. Dir: Sergey Dvortsevoy. With Tolepbergen Baisakalov, Ondas Besikbasov, Samal Esljamova.

After completing his Russian naval service, young Asa travels back to the deserted Kazakh steppe to take over his father’s herd. But first he must find a wife, and his only hope is Tulpan (Tulip), the daughter of another shepherd family who doesn’t like him because his ears are too big. While this was never a problem for the ‘American’ Prince Charles, Asa searches to find a way to realise his dream of a life that may just not be possible on the hostile and arid steppe. Told with warm humour, this first feature by celebrated documentary filmmaker Sergey Dvortsevoy has gone on to win accolades around the world including Un Certain Regard in Cannes 2008.

SeraphineFri 11 — Wed 23 Dec • Gwe 11 — Mer 23 RhagFrance/2008/125 mins/subtitled/PG. Dir: Martin Provost. With Yolande Moreau, Ulrich Tukur, Anne Bennent.

Collecting more awards than you can shake a paint-covered stick at, this enchanting biopic tells the tale of pre World War 1 painter Seraphine Louis — the maid whose vibrant and joyful canvases came to the attention of avant-garde German art critic and collector Wilhelm Uhde. Grouping her work with other naïve artists such as Rousseau, as the so-called ‘Sacred Heart Painters’, the self-taught and devout painter stole butchers blood and church candle wax to create the paints she couldn’t buy. Seraphine said she was instructed by a guardian angel to create her works of beauty. Yolande Moreau fully inhabits the complex role of this outsider artist who for a while enjoys, but then suffers under the pressure of the fame and money which came with her success.

The Coen brothers’ latest film centres on Larry Gopnik, a conscientious Midwestern professor and dutiful husband in 1960s Minnesota. His life unravels as his wife leaves him for one of his colleagues, his unemployable brother is sleeping on his couch, his children are both sliding off the rails and an anonymous letter-writer is trying to sabotage his chances at work. Beset on all sides and seeking always to do what is best (and avoid the temptations of the nude sunbathing woman next door) he looks for guidance in a succession of seemingly unavailable or uninspiring rabbis in his bid to become a ‘mensch’, a righteous and serious man.

Fascinated by the gorgeous Mrs Bannister, wandering seaman, Michael O’Hara (Welles) is seduced into a murder plot in this stylish and complex noir. Rita Hayworth is the femme fatale who teaches O’Hara all about wickedness as she schemes to get retribution against her sadistic husband.

This truly dark Oscar winning classic brings Welles and Cotton together again and features many iconic scenes of cinema.

Awesome WellesA man who felt that anybody who takes on anything big and tough could not afford to be modest, Orson Welles believed himself to be out of step with his time.

Ganed George Clooney ym 1961. Roedd ei fodryb, Rosemary Clooney, yn gantores ac actores a’i dad yn gyflwynydd newyddion a sioeau cwis ar y teledu. Mentrodd o flaen y camerâu ei hun ar ganol yr 1980au. Ar y teledu cafodd rannau bach mewn cyfresi fel The Golden Girls, Roseanne a Friends. Yn y sinema bu’n rhaid iddo ymdopi â rhannau mewn ‘clasuron’ fel Return to Horror High a Return of the Killer Tomatoes. Ym 1994 ymunodd Clooney â chast y gyfres deledu feddygol, ER, ac aros yno tan 1999. Portreadai Dr Douglas Ross, cymeriad arwrol oedd hefyd yn ferchetwr ac yn ddyn anodd ei drin ar brydiau. Gyda dros 30 miliwn yn gwylio daeth Clooney yn actor enwog iawn a chafodd gynnig rhannau mewn nifer o ffilmiau sylweddol yn ystod ei gyfnod gydag ER.Roedd From Dusk till Dawn (1995) yn ffilm iasoer waedlyd a chyffrous. Ffilm ramantus oedd One Fine Day (1996), gyda Clooney a Michelle Pfeiffer yn rhieni sengl sy’n syrthio mewn cariad â’i gilydd. Roedd Out of Sight (1998) yn gyfuniad o stori serch ac antur gyffrous. Mae Clooney yn lleidr banc a Jennifer Lopez yn heddwas sy’n ei erlid. Ym 1999 yn ystod ei fisoedd olaf gydag ER gwnaeth Clooney Three Kings, ffilm sy’n cyfuno cyffro a dychan wrth ddarlunio anturiaethau grŵp o filwyr Americanaidd yn ystod Rhyfel y Gwlff ar ddechrau’r 1990au. Yn ystod y deng mlynedd ar ôl ER mae Clooney wedi gwneud ugain o ffilmiau, gan ddechrau gyda The Perfect Storm (1999) sy’n darlunio argyfwng yn sgil storm ar y mor. Ffilm gerddorol, ddychanol yw O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000). Yn Ocean’s Eleven (2001) mae’r cyn-garcharor Danny Ocean (Clooney) a’i gyfeillion yn ceisio dwyn arian o dri chasino yn Las Vegas. Yn sgil llwyddiant hon gwnaed dwy ffilm arall gyda’r un cast sylfaenol.Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) oedd ffilm gyntaf Clooney fel cyfarwyddwr; hanes dyn sydd â dwy swydd; fel dyfeisydd sioeau cwis a llofrudd ar ran y CIA. Ffuglen wyddonol yw Solaris (2002), ymdrech eithaf llwyddiannus i ail-wneud ffilm Rwsiaidd o’r 1970au cynnar. Yn 2005 cyfarwyddodd Clooney ei ail ffilm, Good Night, and Good Luck, golwg dreiddgar ar y 1950au cynnar, pan oedd llywodraeth yr Unol Daleithiau yn ceisio cyfyngu ar ryddid newyddiadurwyr, ac yn yr un flwyddyn enillodd Oscar am ei berfformiad yn Syriana, drama wleidyddol am y cysylltiad rhwng y diwydiant olew a gwleidyddiaeth. Llygredd ym myd diwydiant yw thema Michael Clayton (2007) a chomedi am y gwasanaethau cudd yw Burn After Reading (2008).Mae The Men Who Stare At Goats (2009) yn gomedi am adran gudd go-iawn ym myddin yr Unol Daleithiau, ar sail llyfr ffeithiol gan Jon Ronson, brodor o Gaerdydd. Yn Up in the Air (2009) mae dyn busnes yn ceisio cadw’r hawl i dreulio cyfran helaeth o’i fywyd ar awyrennau er mwyn pentyrru ei gasgliad o ‘filltiroedd hedfan’.Ffilm nesaf Clooney fydd Farragut North, drama am fyd busnes yn Washington.Philip Wyn Jones.

Claiming to be a former psychic soldier who’s trained in new age paranormal techniques, Cassady’s mission is to track down the missing leader of his ‘warrior monk’ squad. This directorial debut from writer/producer/actor Grant Heslov (Goodnight and Good Luck) provides a fun and light-hearted view of something which is really very scary indeed.

The Informant!Fri 18 — Wed 30 Dec • Gwe 18 — Mer 30 RhagUSA/2009/109 mins/15. Dir: Steven Soderbergh. With Matt Damon, Melanie Lynskey, Scott Bakula.

Steven Soderbergh directs this classy and entertaining tale of the highest-ranking executive in US history to blow the whistle in a case of corporate fraud. Successfully working his way up the company ladder at agri-industry giant ADM, Marc Whitacre sees himself as a crusader for truth, justice and the common man. Offering evidence to the FBI on his company’s price-fixing conspiracy, he eagerly acts as a ‘secret agent’, gathering evidence through wearing a wire and carrying a tape recorder in his briefcase. However, it gradually becomes apparent that he has been less than candid about some of his other activities and, as the truth unfurls, the FBI, and possibly Whitacre himself, find it difficult to separate fact from fantasy.

CreationFri 18 — Wed 30 Dec • Gwe 18 — Mer 30 RhagUSA/2009/109 mins/PG. Dir: Jon Amiel. With Paul Bettany, Jennifer Connelly, Jeremy Northam.

Based on the book ‘Annie’s Box’ by Darwin’s great-great-grandson, Creation tells of the great man’s struggle with the death of his own daughter. At the same time he is torn between the love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place.

One of the masterworks of 1960s cinema, La notte (The Night) marked yet another development in the continuous evolution of its director, Michelangelo Antonioni. Two of the biggest stars of the time, Mastroianni (La Dolce Vita, 8 ½) and Moreau (Jules et Jim), play a married couple living in crisis — he is a renowned author and ‘public intellectual’ and she is ‘the wife’. Over the course of one day and night, they grapple with their emotional bonds and whether love and communication are even possible in a world built out of idylls and sexual hysteria.Screened as part of our on-going collaboration with Atrium, celebrating poetry and film. www.cci.glam.ac.uk/AWEN

This French ‘sleeper hit’ of last year is a funny, insightful and moving portrait of family life. Centred around five key days in the life of the close but chaotic Duval family, the drama spans over 15 years and touches each of the characters as they deal with bereavement, first love, sibling favouritism and the tyranny of the nicotine patch. This is a simply told but smart and entertaining chronicle of family life, fuelled by terrific performances and buoyant energy — beautiful star Deborah Francois is also in this month’s Unmade Beds (p28).

This much awaited adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s story is well worth the wait. When Max, a misunderstood and disobedient little boy, is sent to bed without his supper, he creates his own world where everyone can be happy — a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures whose emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions. Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich) brings his innovative style to this magical tale of a boy who finds he can be the ruler in a world where only the wild things are…

Teenage student Richard Samuels lucks his way into the minor role of Lucius in the legendary 1937 Mercury Theatre production of Julius Ceasar — a modern-dress version directed by the youthful Orson Welles. Richard makes his Broadway debut, finds romance with an ambitious older woman and experiences the dark side of genius after daring to cross the imperious, charming and brilliant Welles.

DeparturesFri 8 — Thu 14 Jan • Gwe 8 — Iau 14 IonJapan/2009/131 mins/12A. Dir: Yojiro Takita. With Masahiro Motoki, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Ryoko Hirosue.

When Daigo Kobayashi loses his job, he moves back to his hometown with his wife to start over. Answering a classified ad entitled

‘Departures’ believing it to be an advertisement for a travel agency, he discovers that the job is actually for a ‘Nokanshi’, a funeral professional who prepares bodies for burial and entry into the next life. While his wife and friends despise his profession, Daigo begins to perfect his work, acting as a gentle gatekeeper between life and death, between the deceased and their families. The film follows his profound and sometimes comical journey as he uncovers the wonder, joy and meaning of life and living.Winner Best Foreign Language Oscar 2009

The Limits of ControlFri 8 — Thu 14 Jan • Gwe 8 — Iau 14 IonSpain/USA/Japan/2009/116 mins/ctba. Dir: Jim Jarmusch. With Isaach De Bankolé, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Gael Garcia Bernal, John Hurt.

Jim Jarmusch (Broken Flowers, Down By Law) turns the conventions of the hitman movie into a wry meditation on the malignancy of political power (specifically American neo-conservative) while at the same time celebrating the power of the imagination. The nameless hero, a solitary be-suited agent, is sent to Spain where a string of coded café encounters with various mysterious eccentrics lead him to a deadly assignation. Packed with literary, artistic, cinematic and musical allusions and filmed by Hong Kong Cinematographer, Chris Doyle (In The Mood For Love), The Limits of Control suggests that “sometimes, the reflection is far more present than the thing being reflected”.

This highly anticipated feature debut from artist Sam Taylor Wood is a sensitive and witty look at the formative years of a pre-Beatles John Lennon. It’s 1955 and 15-year-old John is caught between his stern and traditional aunt Mimi who raised him and his wayward mum Julia. Escaping from this battleground, he finds a friend and musical ally in Paul McCartney and together they form a band. More a tale of friendship and love than a straight biopic, Taylor Wood’s collaboration with cinematographer Seamus McGarvey (Atonement, The Soloist) gives the film a visual beauty which suitably underscores its emotional heart.

Unmade BedsFri 15 — Thu 21 Jan • Gwe 15 — Iau 21 IonUK/2009/93 mins/15. Dir: Alexis Dos Santos. With Fernando Tielve, Deborah Francois.

Even though they share the same London squat, Vera and Axl’s paths never cross — that is until fate steps in. Axl is tasting the delights of English pubs, gigs and free-spirit-living while searching for his long lost father; while Vera is a beautiful Belgian artist who pines for her failed relationship by taking polaroids to retrace the love she lost. With a fantastic soundtrack featuring Plaster Of Paris, (We Are) Performance and Tindersticks, this is a cool little indie film, beautifully shot with a playful, feel-good vibe.

The LivingMon 18 Jan • Llun 18 IonUkraine/2008/tbc mins/ctba. Dir: Sergiy Bukovsky. Narrated by Viktor Yushchenko.

Ukraine failed to win its independence after the end of World War I and the results of that loss became clear at the end of the 1920s when Ukrainians found themselves face to face with the Bolshevist Empire. Farmers were left in the grip of hunger or were forced into ‘an obedient army of slaves’. This poignant documentary tells the story of the survivors. One of the narrators, Viktor Yushchenko, President of Ukraine, tells of the 1933 Holodomor famine; while the diaries and reporting of Welsh journalist, Gareth Jones, act as a guide in this tragic journey through Ukrainian history. The Minister for Heritage, Alun Ffred Jones, joins us for this special screening to mark the contribution made by Gareth Jones.

Less tied to traditional character and plot than usual, Jeunet (Delicatessen, Amelie) instead weaves an impressionistic fable about Bazil, a young man who’s orphaned and then wounded by munitions from two competing arms manufacturers. Unable to work due to his injuries, he’s taken in by a strange underclass living beneath a Parisian junkyard. Hearing Bazil’s sad tale they agree to aid him in his quest to avenge his father and bring down the greedy arms manufacturers.

The RoadFri 22 — Thu 28 Jan • Gwe 22 — Iau 28 IonUSA/2009/111 mins/15. Dir: John Hillcoat. With Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smith-McPhee, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Robert Duvall.

Faithfully based on Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer prize-winning novel, this is the bleak and post-apocalyptic tale of a young man and his son trying to survive by any means necessary in a land where everything about them is dead or dying. As the two walk the long distance south to the coast, the world is fast becoming deserted, and gangs travel the landscape eating human flesh just to stay alive. Ash and soot hang in the air and the sun no longer rises as the two keep searching for some glimmer of hope. John Hillcoat’s long-term collaboration with musicians Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (The Proposition) has created a stunning score which complements the quite incredible visceral beauty of Javier Aguirresarobe’s (Talk to Her) cinematography.

When Anne, the eldest daughter discovers some secret recordings hidden in the outbuildings of her family home, she tries to uncover the significance of the discovery and is drawn into web of secrets and betrayal.

Set in an isolated girls’ school in the mid 1930s, this is a sensuous drama of obsession and misguided love. The equilibrium of the elite girls swimming team is disturbed by the arrival of a mysterious and beautiful Spanish girl who remains detached from the team, provoking fascination, jealousy and the attentions of the worldly and glamorous Miss G who coaches them. With heady and dark overtones which deepen as events unfold, the all-female, public-school world is much more Lord of the Flies than The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

Sex and Drugs and Rock and RollFri 29 Jan — Thu 4 Feb • Gwe 29 Ion — Iau 4 ChwefUK/2009/tbc mins/ctba. Dir: Mat Whitecross. With Andy Serkis, Ray Winstone, Olivia Williams, Mackenzie Crook.

Named after his classic song from 1977, this is a lovingly made biography of Ian Dury, one of the founders of the British punk-rock scene, which captures both the fun and the agony of his life. The film explores his personal battle with polio and how he defied expectations, together with The Blockheads, to become one of the best-loved iconoclasts of the indie music world. With a track list that you can’t help but love, this powerful and enjoyable film certainly leaves you with many reasons to be cheerful.

I’m Gonna ExplodeFri 29 Jan — Thu 4 Feb • Gwe 29 Ion — Iau 4 ChwefMexico/2008/106 mins/subtitled/15. Dir: Gerardo Naranjo. With Juan Pablo de Santiago, Maria Deschamps.

If there was a button to make everything disappear, would you push it? Sick of their scripted and alienated teenage existence, Roman and Maru break away to experience life on their own terms. The son of a rich, right-wing politico, Roman abducts Maru from school at gunpoint and the pair disappear into a rooftop tent just a few floors away from home. Uncertain of what to do next, the couple steal a car to drive to Mexico City and its here that their adventure really starts. Told with energy and real teenage angst, director Gerardo Naranjo seems to be conjuring a mixture of Nicholas Ray and Jean-Luc Godard in this powerful, Bonnie and Clyde-style adventure.

Mugabe and the White AfricanFri 29 Jan — Thu 4 Feb • Gwe 29 Ion — Iau 4 ChwefUK/2009/90 mins/ctba. Dir: Lucy Bailey, Andrew Thompson. With Michael Campbell, Ben Freeth, Laura Campbell, Angela Campbell.

Michael Campbell is one of the few hundred white farmers left in Zimbabwe since President Mugabe began his violent land seizure programme in 2000, re-allocating formerly white-owned farms to ZANU-PF friends and officials. Battling to get their case against Mugabe heard in court, the Campbell family stand up to the thugs who are threatening to take their land, and possibly even their lives. An intimate and moving account of one family’s extraordinary courage in the face of overwhelming injustice and brutality. Made in association with the Film Agency For Wales — we'll be joined at one of the screenings by a member of the film — please check our website for details.

“...masterfully using cinematic expression to allow all of us to engage in an incredible and historic struggle.” — The SilverDocs Grand Jury

SPECIAL SEASONAL SCREENING:

Christmas on MarsWed 16 Dec • Mer 16 RhagUSA/85 mins/2007/ctba. Dir: Wayne Coyne. With the Flaming Lips, Fred Armisen, Adam Goldberg.

This mostly black and white, dream-like yuletide fable is a fantastical film freakout featuring the Flaming Lips made with the style and DIY charm you’d expect from the band and their frontman Wayne Coyne. As space-suited men wander around narrow enclosures in various stages of disassociation, Santas commit airlock suicide, and a nurse/mother in a giant light-bulb births a bubble baby. What’s not to like?

‘Endearingly ragged... destined for cult status... abetted with homemade-looking but sometimes lyrical effects.’ — New York Times

ShortsSat 5 Dec • Sad 5 Rhag USA/2009/89 mins/PG. Dir: Robert Rodriguez. With Jimmy Bennet, Jake Short, William H Macy, James Spader.

When Toe Thompson discovers a colourful rock that grants wishes, it causes chaos in the suburban town of Black Falls when jealous kids and scheming adults set out to get their hands on it. Another fun family film from the director of Spy Kids.

Fantastic Mr FoxMon 23 Nov — Thu 3 Dec • Llun 23 Tach — Iau 3 RhagFri 11 — Thu 17 Dec • Gwe 11 — Iau 17 Rhag USA/2009/90 mins/PG. Dir: Wes Anderson. With George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray.

Another chance to see this wonderful adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel by the filmmaker that brought us The Royal Tenenbaums and The Darjeeling Limited. Wes Anderson brings his own particular brand of oddness and dysfunction to the lives of the family Fox, as they are beset by angry farmers. With a voice-cast full of Hollywood A-listers, this stop-motion animation delivers a colourful and hugely enjoyable version of the story.

Family FeaturesEvery Saturday at 3pm

The screening at 8.30pm on Mon 14 Dec is subtitled.

Art in the Bar: Alan Phelan: pp4+5

Stuck for a Christmas present for the friend who has everything? There are a number of ways you can support Chapter and get an unusual Christmas gift at the same time.

Adopt

£250 Adopt a SeatWhy not adopt one of our lovely new cinema or theatre chairs? For £250 your name (or a name of your choice) is engraved on a plaque which will adorn the seat for 10 years.

£50 Adopting InspirationSupport Chapter and you’ll be helping the next generation of artists who contribute to our eclectic mix of theatre, film and visual arts. Your £50 will help artists to find the inspiration to realise their vision; to create, entertain and involve.You’ll receive a signed thank you card from one of the many artists who will benefit from your donation.

To begin the adoption process please contact our Fundraising Officer, Elaina by emailing elaina.gray@chapter.org; phoning 029 2035 5662 or visit www.chapter.org.

Top up Fund

£25 Top up a Scissor LiftSave our hardy technicians from carrying heavy equipment up stairs and through narrow doorways. We have our eye on a rather swanky scissor lift which will benefit productions in the theatre and make access to the backstage far easier. The lift costs £8,000 and we’ve already raised half the amount. So we now need 160 generous individuals to donate just £25 to get us up to our target.

If you help us to top up our Scissor Lift fund you’ll be invited to the grand unveiling of the lift, and you may even be allowed a ride!

You can adopt or top up for yourself or a friend (the perfect pressie) and we’ll send you a personalised adoption certificate and keep you up to date with developments and special events at Chapter.

LegaciesLeaving a legacy will help to ensure a healthy future for Chapter. In the first instance you should contact your solicitor for advice and, if you have already mentioned Chapter in your Will, please let us know so that we can recognise your donation in the most appropriate way.

Limited Edition PrintsOur limited edition prints by celebrated artists James Aldridge, Pete Fowler, Heather and Ivan Morison and Joanna Quinn make an excellent Christmas present. Each print costs just £100 and we offer an easy payment system allowing you to spread the cost. Postcard versions of the prints are available from the Shop, priced at £3.50 for a set of four.If you have any questions relating to the above schemes please contact Elaina Gray, Fundraising Officer on 02920 355662 or email elaina.gray@chapter.org
