LISTINGS for Friday 3 - Thursday 9 October |
HIGHLIGHTS: ICA PROJECTS/ARTS COUNCIL CRIMSON GOLD (Talaye Sorgh) 'A quietly brilliant film … poetic and precise, witty and profoundly compassionate' Time Out Starting from the point at which a thief trapped by the security system in a Tehran jewellery store commits murder and suicide, Panahi’s new film brilliantly unwinds to show what pushes a man to such an extreme. Hussein (Hussein Emadeddin) is a taciturn loner, a war veteran once lauded but damaged and now working as an ageing pizza delivery boy. Full of suppressed hilarity and unexpected observations, Abbas Kiarostami's script provides a stunningly eloquent and moving account of a society split between privilege and desperation. From the director of The White Balloon and The Circle, the film won the Un Certain Regard Jury Award in Cannes this year and has been hailed as a brave new direction in Iranian cinema.

Dir Jean Luc Godard, France 1966, 95 mins, subs MEDEA ‘Bizarre and eloquent’ Time Out Pasolini’s exploration of Freudian themes through Marxist eyes is a retelling of Medea’s story (the life-cycle of a love affair) as a mixture of social anthropology and ritual theatre. Dir Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italy/France/Germany 1970, 118 mins, subs ICA PROJECTS DERRIDA ‘Blissful … a pleasure to watch’ New York Times This award-winning film is an intimate portrait of the brilliant, controversial philosopher and intellectual icon Jacques Derrida, whose theory of ‘deconstruction’ has influenced the studies of literature, philosophy, ethics, architecture and law, indelibly marking the intellectual landscape of the 20th and 21st centuries. Dir Kirby Dick/Amy Ziering Kofman, US 2002, 85 mins JEAN-PIERRE MELVILLE ‘Visually arresting and powerful! Melville was the coolest, most stylish of auteurs!’ John Woo Three films by the extraordinary director Jean-Pierre Melville (1917-1973) who relocated the American gangster genre in France, incorporating his own steely poetic and philosophical obsessions. LE CERCLE ROUGE ‘Superbly executed’ Time Out Dark, abstract and desolate, detailing the breakdown of criminal codes, with a superb silent jewel robbery in the Place Vendome. France/Italy 1970, 140 mins, subs LEON MORIN, PRETRE ‘Miraculous cinema’ Time Out Melville’s excursion into Bressonian territory. Belmondo plays a radical priest with an eye for the women France/Italy 1961, 128 mins, subs TAIWAN TRIO Back by popular demand, the three most sought-after titles from this year’s earlier London/Taipei season. A BRIGHTER SUMMER’S DAY (Guling
Jie Shaonian Sha Ren Shijian) Yang’s measured account of growing up in Taiwan at the start of the 1960s is both intimate yet epic in scope. The unexpected final scenes are invested with enormous, shocking power. Dir Edward Yang, Taiwan 1991, 237 mins, subs

Police Radio takes the form of a web-based radio station, but is hardly conventional fly-on-the-wall documentary. Recordings of patrols dealing with juvenile delinquency, drunken behaviour, arson and road accidents, are intercut with the individual officers' on-the-spot choice of tunes from the station play-list. The resulting 24-hour, real-time web-broadcast gives an intriguing insight into the activities of an urban police force, combined with moments of genuinely black humour. Nick Crowe has recently had a solo show at the Chisenhale Gallery, Mobile Home and, in collaboration with Ian Rawlinson, at the Manchester Art Gallery. His commission for Beck's Futures 2003 can be seen online at www.the-world-wars.co.uk. Police Radio was commissioned by FACT, Liverpool. Free with ICA Day Membership Digital Studio Tue 7 Oct, 6.45pm Talk: Nick Crowe Nick Crowe will talk informally about his work showing in the Digital Studio. An unmissbale opportunity to listen to an artist thinking in very interesting ways about the relationship between the digital and art. Free with Day Membership Digital Studio Roz
