'Extraordinary...I urge you to get a ticket' Observer 'astonishing ' Daily
Telegraph 'A film of raw power'
**** Total Film
Winner Golden Bear - Berlin Film Festival 2003
Torn from the headlines, Michael Winterbottom's compelling new film follows
Jamal, a young Afghan, 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 and they give us cause
to see behind the headlines at the broader political and moral concerns.

The Man Without a Past (Mies Vailla Menneisyytta)
'Pure cinematic joy' Sight & Sound
'sublime... the feel-good success of the festival' Observer
'A rare pleasure' Guardian
A delirious mixture of black comedy, film noir and love story, Kaurismäki's
rapturously received film triumphed at the Cannes Film Festival where
it took a multitude of prizes. Markku Pellota plays the title character
'M' a man who arrives in Helsinki to be set upon by thugs and pronounced
dead by medics. By some miracle he comes to, wandering the streets with
no memory of his past or his identity. Rebuilding his life from scratch,
'M' acquires a dog named Hannibal and falls in love with a Salvation Army
volunteer. But the past inevitably catches up with him and the man must
then confront his future.

ICA PROJECTS/DOCUMENTA
Derrida
'Blissful ... a pleasure to watch' New York Times 'Inspirational and unexpectedly
moving' Film Comment This award-winning film is an intimate portrait of
the brilliant, controversial philosopher and intellectual icon Jacques
Derrida, whose theory of 'deconstruction' has deeply influenced the studies
of literature, philosophy, ethics, architecture and law, indelibly marking
the intellectual landscape of the 20th and 21st centuries. Combining rare
private footage of Derrida with his reflections on deconstruction, violence,
love and death, the film investigates the concept of biography and explores
the relationship between the public and the private.

EXHIBITION @ the ICA
5 Apr-18 May 12-7.30pm daily (13 Apr, 4.30-7.30pm; closed 29 Apr) BECK'S
FUTURES 2003 'Dedicated to the support of developing artists, Beck's Futures
has established itself as one of the country's premier art prizes' Independent
The ICA is delighted to present Beck's Futures 2003, featuring an eclectic
mix of some of the most exciting artists now working in the UK. It includes
an internet 'cyber globe' under constant bombardment created by Nick Crowe,
public interventions by Lucy Skaer and the artist-collective Inventory,
work exploring the tools of corporate marketing by Carey Young, performance-derived
videos by Alan Currall, David Sherry and Bernd Behr, a short film by Rosalind
Nashashibi examining cultural displacement, and a vibrating and moaning
mummy by Francis Upritchard. Much of the work in this year's exhibition
explores the points at which art grapples with and appropriates everyday
routines and public spaces, blurring the boundaries between reality and
fiction. As well as photographs, drawings and sculpture, many works have
a presence beyond the gallery through interventions and performances in
the public realm, engagement with broadcast media and the internet. This
year's selection was made by the curators Russell Ferguson (Chief Curator,
UCLA Hammer Museum); Maria Lind (Director, Kunstverein Munich); Hans Ulrich
Obrist (Independent Curator); and the artist Michael Landy, who is the
Chair of the panel. Beck's Futures is the result of an ongoing collaboration
between the ICA and Beck's and has established a reputation for identifying
and supporting the work of the most promising artists in the UK. Each
of the participating artists will receive a share of the £40,000
awards-fund that goes towards making Beck's Futures the UK's most generous
arts awards. One artist will be selected for a further overall award of
£20,000. The exhibition is accompanied by a limited-edition publication
with contributions from J G Ballard and Hans Ulrich Obrist, and art historian
and writer Michael Archer. A free newsprint exhibition guide will also
be available. Beck's Futures 2003 subsequently travels to the CCA, Glasgow
and Southampton City Art Gallery. Mon - Fri: £1.50, £1.00

Kids R Us Season
Wed 30 Apr, 7pm
Babytalk
Are adults turning into children, and children turning into adults? Whilst
the 'key demographic' attempts to cope with its accelerated sexuality,
their elders yearn for scooters and space hoopers. Speakers include Peter
York, style and ad guru, columnist, author, and broadcaster; Andrew Calcutt,
lecturer and author of Arrested Development: Pop Culture and the Erosion
of Adulthood; Matt Thorne, whose novels include Tourist, and Eight Minutes
Idle, Julie Myerson, critic, columnist, and author of Me And the Fat Man;
and Melvin Burgess, author of prize-winning teenage novel, Junk, a book
which was criticised by some as going beyond the bounds of suitable subject
matter for children's fiction and whose latest book, aimed at young teenagers,
Lady, My Life As A Bitch is proving as controversial. £8, £7

Maddening Sadness
Depression is the most common psychiatric illness worldwide. It is estimated
that 1 in 5 of us will suffer from depression at some point and that,
by 2020, depression will have overtaken heart disease as the single biggest
illness in the world. How can we disentangle biological causes from complex
social and cultural factors? Can social treatments compete with Prozac?
And why, when materially life is better than ever before, are we all feeling
so blue anyway? Tonight's speaker is Julian Leff, Professor of Social
and Cultural Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry. Winner of the
Burgholzi prize for outstanding contributions to psychiatry, he contributes
regularly to television and radio and has published widely, including
his recent book, The Unbalanced Mind. In the chair is Daniel Glaser, neuroscientist
at UCL. £5, £4 Concs. £3 ICA Members Nash Room ICA LISTINGS

'the spirit of futurism born anew' NME
The ICA is both proud and sad to present the farewell show by cult Glasgow
three piece Bis. Forming in their teens a decade ago, becoming the first
unsigned band to appear on Top of The Pops, Bis have continued to innovate
mixing electro-pop beats and post-punk dynamics. Working with the Beastie
Boys' Grand Central label, recording the theme for the Powerpuff Girls
cartoon series, having their own Casio G-Shock in Japan, and recording
with the Gang of Four's Andy Gill long before the current punk-funk revival,
Bis leave a pioneering do-it-yourself legacy, with this final show being
a celebration of electro-punk-pop creativity.
Support comes from electro-punk duo Motormark.

Tina Frank, Fuzzy Motion: Pictures Without Legs 1995-2002
Best known for her design and video work for Austrian record label Mego,
Tina Frank has become a leading figure operating at the intersection of
music, graphic design and the moving image. Frank has collaborated with
the likes of Mathias Gmachl of Farmers Manual with whom she formed Skot
- an audiovisual 'band', Chicks on Speed, Christian Fennesz, Hecker and
labels such as Chocolate Industries, Idea Recordings and Staubgold. The
Digital Studio presents the London premiere of Fuzzy Motion - Pictures

media and the moving image, this is a unique opportunity to sample over
twenty works from 7 years of Frank's work on Mego and other projects.
The exhibition includes works ranging from the well-known 'Aus' (music
by Christian Fennesz) to Skot vs. Hecker - a 30 minute live videowork,

of data gone wrong.
