MON-RAK TRANSISTOR (A TRANSISTOR LOVE STORY)
'Heartbreaking delirium' Time Out
'pure kitsch...magical' Empire
>From the producers of Tears of the Black Tiger comes the perfect summer
movie, a potent blend of Elvis Presley-style musical, love story and poisonous
social satire in Hysteric Glamour t-shirts. Pan is a country boy newlywed
to his first love, Sadaw, when he's signed up for military service. Success
in a local talent contest turns Pan's head and he goes AWOL to pursue
his dream, but instead finds himself fending off the advances of his predatory
manager. As Sadaw is seduced by a smooth-talking worm tablet salesman,
Pan winds up begging on the streets having committed manslaughter. A hit
at the 2002 Cannes Festival confirming Pen-ek as the young pretender to
Wong Kar Wai. Dir Pen-ek Ratanaruang Thailand 2001, 120 mins,, English
subtitles, 15

IN THIS WORLD
'astonishing ...The best British film of my life time' Telegraph 'Extraordinary...I
urge you to get a ticket' Observer Winner Golden Bear Best Film Berlin
2003 Torn from the headlines, Michael Winterbottom's new film follows
the young Jamal as he embarks on a hazardous overland trip from the refugee
camp at Peshawar through Iran, Turkey, Italy and France to Sangatte and
into the heart of London where he becomes 'M1187511'. Winterbottom and
his brilliant writer Tony Grisoni have struck a fine balance between the
fictional and documentary elements of the film, harnessing the intimate
and immediate possibilities of DV production to full effect. Even more
crucially, they give us cause to see behind the headlines at the broader
political and moral concerns. As fine a piece of work as we've seen from
this versatile director. Dir Michael Winterbottom, UK, 2002, 89 mins,

ICA PROJECTS
THOMAS PYNCHON: A JOURNEY INTO THE MIND OF [P.]
'intriguing...required viewing' Time Out
Unravelling the enigma of the reclusive Thomas Pynchon (b.1937), one of
the most influential but least public writers of our time, the Dubinis'
compelling documentary makes spirited use of archive photographs, historical
documents, news footage and interviews with Pynchon's friends and fanatics.
Spiralling around themes of paranoiac conspiracies and mind-control experiments,
culminating in an account of an extraordinary lookalike event and the
devastating CNN news footage of Pynchon snatched on the streets, the film
presents a wonderful feast of Pynchonalia served up with a sense of humour
and a generous helping of music by the Residents. Dir Fosco & Donatello
Dubini, Germany, 2001, 92 mins
ASSEMBLY
4 : STAN BRAKHAGE
As a tribute to the late Stan Brakhage, a programme featuring some of

Kenneth Anger in The Dead, The Chartres Series and Anticipation of the
Night. The films will be accompanied live by improvisional acoustic group
The Assembly conducted by Adem Ilhan, whose acclaimed musical installation
work for Tate Britain premiered earlier this year. Early booking is advised
for what promises to be a wonderful event. Total running time: 80 mins

REMEMBERING WHAT TO SEE
How does visual memory
influence how and what we perceive? How does it actually work - is it
something that we have to learn how to use? Can it mislead us in what
we see? And how does it interact with other forms of memory? Are these
questions for scientists - or would they be best answered by philosophers?
Tonight's speaker is: Michael Morgan, who is professor of visual psychophysics
at the applied Vision Research Centre, City University, London, has published
over 160 scientific papers, and writes regular newspaper columns. In the
chair is Daniel Glaser, neuroscientist at UCL. £5, £4 Concs.

MANITOBA
THE JIMMY CAKE
Manitoba: 'likely
to end up in quite a few end of year polls...'Observer 'one of the most
exhilarating records of the year so far' Daily Telegraph Leaf recording
artist and Toronto musician/producer Dan Snaith, aka Manitoba, has received
ecstatic praise for his recent album Up in Flames, a record that will
be recognised as one of the ground breaking albums of 2003
- a psychedelic epic inspired in equal measure by the Beach Boys at one
end of the musical spectrum and by Timbaland at the other. Veering away
from one man and his laptop electronic music presentations, Snaith's three
piece live band features two drummers, glockenspiel, guitar, theremin
and vocals.
Dublin's The Jimmy Cake create luscious, melancholic soundscapes: melodic
and charming antidotes to urban life. £9, £8 Concs. £7

SPID PRODUCTIONS PRESENT
BLUEBEARD'S WIVES
'SPID shows a remarkable
talent for reworking the classics' Daily Telegraph 'moving theatre that
churns up tingling responses' Total Theatre Magazine Bluebeard's Wives
is a multimedia fairytale of degradation. An explosion of sound, film
and dance reworks the mythical tale of the woman murderer and the wife
he tests. Alone in her husband's castle, this wife makes a surprising
sacrifice for her husband's secrets. Innocence vies with the past in a
provocative piece of performance theatre that examines the roles today's
women play and the ways they are commodified.
