With interviews from gunmen, underground arms dealers, drug users and victims of the violence, the film attempts to define the social environment which conditions and nurtures the desire to consume and destroy. riceNpeas Films, the production company behind this film also co-produced Gang Wars made for the Channel 4 Dispatches programme (released in June 2003). The screening will be followed by a discussion with the Assistant Producer Yannis Mendez.

> LOSS AND MOURNING: BROKEN WINGS
> Followed by discussion
> The last in a series of four films and discussions on the subject of Loss and Mourning introduced by and discussed with Psychoanalyst Andrea Sabbadini and Film Historian Peter Evans.
> Nir Bergman, Director of Broken Wings will be on the panel to discuss the film. The loss of a parent, a spouse, a child, can have a devastating effect on our existence. Freud's paper Mourning and Melancholia is the starting point for psychoanalytic reflections on how those who survive the death of a close relative succeed, or fail, to eventually integrate their loss and carry on with their own lives.

> Gumbo Jumbo is an exhilarating fusion of music, theatre and physical movement, devised and directed by Lucy Bailey and performed by seven classically trained string players.
> The 90 minute show is a rich kaleidoscope of musical styles, theatrical wit and innovation. The performers run at speed, dance in masks, get stuck in unbelievable knots and play whilst hiding their faces with their instruments. The music ranges from Malagasy dance rhythms to Arabic modes of improvisation to contemporary western classical to big band blues.
> Lucy Bailey is renowned for her outstanding productions. A riot of physical daring, irrepressible humour and musical brilliance.

> SCIENCE AND AUTHORITY
> The volume of facts and information available continues to increase exponentially. At the same time, there is an acknowledged questioning of authority. Many worry that much science is in the hands of corporate interests, and that some scientists writing for established journals are failing to disclose conflicts of interest. Has the practice of peer review become corrupted - and does it make us too dependent on established networks? How are we to judge expertise? How should we evaluate > '> media panic> '> ? Speakers: Colin Blakemore, chief executive of the MRC; Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet; Ian Gibson, MP, chair of the House of Commons Select Committee on Science and Technology; and Lawrence McGinty, ITN Health and Science editor. Chair: Fiona Fox, Director, Science Media Centre.

> Simon Faithfull> '> s practice over last 6 years has focuse> d on an open-ended mapping process. An essential tool within this mapping process has become the use of a palm-pilot. It has become a kind of psycho-geographer> '> s tool, enabling Faithfull to map a personal reaction to a place, rather than an infatuation with digital media to indulge, Faithfull has been attracted to the awkward, stuttering aspect of technology - the gap between reality and digital representation and the tendency of both human and digital systems to collapse.
> For this show Faithfull will remove the monitors, replacing them with a stream of drawings output by a single printer. The piece will manifest the entire collection of drawings amassed over the last 5 years from places as exotic or mundane as Marrakesh, Leamouth, Venice, Reading, Amsterdam and New Cross.
> 13, commissioned by Channel4 and the Arts Council, is a five-minute film built from hundreds of drawings made whilst walking down the A13 road from Whitechapel to Barking.
> A13 Wall Drawing. Moving out from the New Media Lab, Faithfull will use tiny plastic mirror tiles to recreate a drawing from the A13 series pixel by pixel. The horizon of this drawing will stretch around the lower bar area enveloping the viewer or drinker in a crude pixelated, glittering landscape.
