In This World

'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. Dir Michael Winterbottom, UK 2002, 89 mins, English subtitles

**First Run Release**
ICA PROJECTS
Thomas Pynchon: A Journey into the Mind of [P.]

'One of American literature's true masters' Rick Moody 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but least public writers of our time, the Dubinis' compelling documentary makes spirited use of archive photographs, historical documents, news footage and interviews with Pynchon's friends and fanatics.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

**First Run Release**
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.
Dir Kirby Dick/Amy Ziering Kofman, US 2002, 85 mins

Rebecca (1940)
'Malevolence personified...a riveting film' Time Out Hitchcock's only Best Picture winner is a gripping blend of detective story, gothic romance and psychological drama based on Daphne du Maurier's bestselling novel. The story of a naïve - and nameless - young woman who marries an aristocratic patriarch (Laurence Olivier) only to find her life dominated by his deceased first wife Rebecca and her terrifying servant Mrs Danvers, is one of the most deliciously terrifying films of all time. With thanks to the British Film Institute and to the Academy Film Archive for this print, newly restored by the Walt Disney Company in 2000. Dir Alfred Hitchcock, US 1940, 130 mins

Sci-Fi: Quatermass and the Pit
'A richly allusive web of occult, anthropological, religious and extraterrestrial speculation' Time Out As part of the ICA's special season of Sci-Fi talks, a chance to see the BBC's legendary 1958 series, the third part of Nigel Kneale's Quatermass quartet, an extended treatise on the nature of evil, religion and superstition. Work on a new London underground line is halted when a skeleton and a WWII missile are uncovered. But the 'missile' turns out to be an alien spacecraft and Professor Bernard Quatermass is called in to investigate as its opening unleashes ancient forces of evil. Showing on 35mm prints courtesy of the National Film & Television Archive, the screening on the 14 May will be introduced by Kim Newman. Dir Rudolph Cartier, UK 1958, Total running time 108 mins

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 Concs. FREE with ICA Membership; Sat & Sun: £2.50, £1.50 Concs. FREE with ICA Membership

Exhibiting artists will receive a share of £5,000. The programme will subsequently be shown at further venues across the UK. Mon - Fri: £1.50, £1.00 Concs.

Thurs 15 May, 7.15pm
Generic Modification: Is Genre The New Mainstream?

For decades, science fiction has been attempting to escape the constraints of genre, and occasional masterpieces have done just that. But now the practice as a whole is stretching its legs, flexing its muscles and setting up camp in the literary mainstream. Is modern SF's compulsive criss-crossing of genres the kick in the pants contemporary fiction needs? Or is there still further to go? The award-winning literary writer, Toby Litt, one of Granta's 20 Best Young Novelists; John O'Connell, journalist and Time Out reviewer; Muriel Gray and Justina Robson, author of Mappa Mundi and one of our hottest new SF writers talk it over. £8, £7 Concs. £6 ICA Members Theatre


Wed 14 May, 8.30pm
Nigel Kneale: My Son, Quatermass

Author and screenwriter Nigel Kneale was one of the most influential SF writers to come out of England in the 1950's. His beloved series The Quatermass Experiment (1953) took the British television industry by storm and simultaneously scared the wits out of a generation. Tonight, Kneale introduces a rare screening of episodes 1-3 of Quatermass and the Pit, first broadcast to tremendous acclaim in 1958. He will be in conversation with the acclaimed horror writer Kim Newman. Episodes 4-6 will be screened the following evening.

ICA/ECONOMIST DEBATE: The Secret State

In the current wars of terrorism and counter-terrorism, Britain has a clear and present need for competent and trustworthy intelligence services.

Speakers include: David Shayler, former member of MI5; Peter Hennessy, historian and author of The Secret State and Martin Bright, investigative journalist at The Observer. In the
chair: Edward Lucas, Britain correspondent at The Economist. £8, £7 Concs. £6 ICA Members Cinema 1 ICA LISTINGS Friday 9 May - Thursday 15 May
