Friday 11 January Candy (1968) Cristian Marquand Conchita Candy Christian is an innocent young girl when she first hears NcPhito, an alcoholic Welsh poet, talk of love and self-sacrifice. Candy narrowly escapes McPhisto's attempt to rape her, only to succumb to her father's Mexican gardener, Emmanuel. When her father catches her with the gardener, he banishes her to a trip with his twin brother, Uncle Jack, and Jack's wife Aunt Livia, who are headed for New York City. As Candy makes her way to the airport, Emmanuel's three sisters attack her because she has corrupted their brother. Because of Candy, Emmanuel has now forsaken the priesthood. During the scuffle, Candy's father takes a blow to the head, resulting in a serious head injury. Candy nearly gives in to a General Smight on the plane in exchange for a blood transfusion for her father. In New York, an ego-maniacal brain surgeon Dr. Krankeit operates on her father, while Uncle Jack pursues his own operation on Candy. When Candy bashes him with a bedpan, Uncle Jack is put in her father's hospital bed, while her father wanders away without notice. Candy is now free to visit Greenwich Village where she takes part in a film by an underground movie director Jonathan J. John. It's a pornographic film, shot in a public restroom. Next, Candy becomes the pet of a benevolent hunchback in Central Park, but she escapes from his arch criminal into the truck trailer of Guru Grindl. During the drive to California, Grindl initiates her into the mysteries of the Seventh Stage and other secrets of life. In California, Candy seeks the Great Buddah, who will reveal to her the ultimate stage. In her search, she encounter a filthy hermit who leads her to a temple. There Candy and the hermit have sex. When a deluge destroys the temple and washes the hermit clean. Candy recognizes that the hermit is really her wandering father. Again Candy runs away to more trouble. The final time, however, she finds herself in a hippie orgy, reunited with her past sexual partners.

Friday 04 January 9pm Dinner followed by Film around 11pm The Three Musketeers (1974) and The Four Musketeers (1975) Richard Lester

Charlton Heston signed on to portray the wily Cardinal Richelieu. Faye Dunaway was cast as the scheming Milady and Geraldine Chaplin as the philandering Anne of Austria. In the role of Constance, dressmaker to the Queen, was Raquel Welch. As the celebrated rollicking trio of swordsmen were Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay and Richard Chamberlain. Finally, as D'Artagnan, hero of the film, there was Michael York. With a fine company in hand, the director Richard Lester camped in Spain for a scorching summer of filming the richly entertaining ''Three Musketeers,'' based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas, released in 1974. And while they were at it, they also made ''The Four Musketeers,'' issued the next year. On Tuesday, Fox Lorber will release new video editions of both films. In Spain back in the 70's, however, cast members weren't aware they were making two movies. They were being paid for only one. Accounts are clouded, but apparently one very long film was originally planned. ''It was conceived as a road-show picture with a break in the middle,'' Mr. York said in an interview. Costs later dictated that the project be broken in two, but the cast didn't learn that until later. ''In a hail of litigious indignation lawyers rushed back to their contracts only to find that the producers had scrupulously described the undertaking not as film or films but as 'our project,' '' Mr. York wrote in his autobiography, ''Accidentally on Purpose.''Legalities were eventually settled amicably, Mr. York said. ''Intrinsic in the settlement was that one didn't go around raising the issue again,'' he added. Forever after, though, actors have been scrupulously careful about the number of ''projects'' committed to.

The War Part 2 and 3

In the spring of 1945, as the war in Europe drew to a close, the CBS radio correspondent Eric Sevareid was troubled. He had been reporting on the fighting for four years, and had done his best to convey to his listeners back home all that he had seen and heard in Burma, France, Italy and Germany. But he was haunted by the sense that he had failed. He told his audience: "Only the soldier really lives the war. The journalist does not -- war happens inside a man -- and that is why, in a certain sense, you and your sons from the war will be forever strangers. If, by the miracles of art and genius, in later years two or three among them can open their hearts and the right words come, then perhaps we shall all know a little of what it was like -- and we shall know then that all the present speakers and writers hardly touched the story." For the past six years we have striven to create a documentary film series about the Second World War in that spirit. Ours has been, in part, a humbling attempt to understand "the things men do in war, and the things war does to them" (as Phil Caputo so aptly noted). We chose to explore the impact of the war on the lives of people living in four American towns -- Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; Waterbury, Connecticut; and Luverne, Minnesota. Over the course of the film's nearly fifteen hours more than forty men and women opened their hearts to us about the war they knew -- and which we, their inheritors, could only imagine. Above all, we wanted to honor the experiences of those who lived through the greatest cataclysm in human history by providing the opportunity for them to bear witness to their own history. Our film is therefore an attempt to describe, through their eyewitness testimony, what the war was actually like for those who served on the front lines, in the places where the killing and the dying took place, and equally what it was like for their loved ones back home. We have done our best not to sentimentalize, glorify or aestheticize the war, but instead have tried simply to tell the stories of those who did the fighting -- and of their families. In so doing, we have tried to illuminate the intimate, human dimensions of a global catastrophe that took the lives of between 50 and 60 million people -- of whom more than 400,000 were Americans. Through the eyes of our witnesses, it is possible to see the universal in the particular, to understand how the whole country got caught up in the war; how the four towns and their people were permanently transformed; how those who remained at home worked and worried and grieved in the face of the struggle; and in the end, how innocent young men who had been turned into professional killers eventually learned to live in a world without war. Over the course of seven episodes, we spend a great deal of time in battle -- on the ground, in the air and at sea, in Europe and the Pacific -- examining in countless ways and from many perspectives what one of our witnesses, Paul Fussell, described as "the real war." "The rest of it," he told us, "is just the show-biz war. The real war involves getting down there and killing people. And being killed yourself or just barely escaping it. And it gives you attitudes about life and death that are unobtainable anywhere else." Throughout the series, one theme has stayed constant, one idea has continually emerged as we have gotten to know the brave men and women whose stories it has been our privilege to tell: in extraordinary times, there are no ordinary lives. The Second World War was fought in thousands of places, too many for any one accounting. This is the story of four American towns and how their citizens experienced that war.

Visit the Home of the Cow-Fi

Sister Chain & Brother John host, present and support the world's first cow-fi band:

The Lonesomes

Somewhere in the german countryside, inside a small underequipped studio, four cows are constantly exploring their weird version of lo-fi electronic country music. They are known as The Lonesomes. Well, either that or they are actually the solo recording entity of musician Adi Gelbart, who claims he is just the cows' manager. Though the Lonesomes' music originates from country, they manage to cover a great range of styles and influences from loungy easy-listening through lo-fi minimalism to extreme noise, resulting in a sound that is both plain trashy and emotionally deep at the same time.

The Lonesomes released their debut album "a tribute to the great outdoors" at the end of 2003 to rave reviews. It was played extensively on the famous New-Jersey based radio station WFMU, where the album was also selected as one of the top 10 albums of 2003. Adi Gelbart has won the ACUM Electronic Artist of the year award, for his work on this album and his solo works.

In 2005 Adi Gelbart moved from Israel to Berlin, where he now continues to work on The Lonesomes music, as well has on his solo projects. Besides his work as the Lonesomes he also has several solo releases behind him including splits with Frederik Schikowski and The Branflakes.

The Lonesomes live show features the band with Adi Gelbart on guitars, synths, homemade and rewired electronic toys . The Lonesomes' second album "This is Cow-Fi" was released on LoAF (Lo Recordings) in September 2007.

Tuesday 11 December 8:30 pm Tom Jones (1963) Tony Richardson The first British film to win the the Best Picture Oscar since Laurence Olivier's "Hamlet," in 1948, "Tom Jones" made its star, Albert Finney, a household name in America. Based on Henry Fielding's famous novel, which was adapted to the screen by playwright John Osborne, it features Finney as the adventurous, amorous illegitimate son of a servant in eighteenth-century England. Osborne has condensed considerably Fileding's 1749 sprawlingly episodic adventure to fit a feature-length film (running time is 131 minute feature). Director Richardson treats the text as a slapstick rollicking material, inspired by silent film comedy devices, such as titles, wipes, slow-motion, etc. Both Osborn and Richrdson depart from the tradition of "kitchen-sink" realism that had marked their earlier works, manifest in the play and moviue "Look Back in Anger." Stylistically, Richardson also borrows >from the French New Wave in using his camera in a dynamic and jazzy way. "Tom Jones" was a commercial success prior to winning the 1963 Oscar and a smash-hit afterward; this period comedy is one of the most popular films of the entire decade. Several set-pieces are fantasically entertaining, such as the stag hunt at the estate of Griffith; the bedroom farce at the inn, and most memorable of all, Albert Finney and Joyce Redman staring at each other, while never stopping ripping food apart and stuffing it in their mouths, a scene that's both funny and strangely erotic.

He had been reporting on the fighting for four years, and had done his best to convey to his listeners back home all that he had seen and heard in Burma, France, Italy and Germany.

Friday 14 December 9pm Dinner followed by KaKa Film Night (our first Official Audience Participation Monthly Film) Showgirls (1993) Paul Verhoeven

Rape, Lesbianism, Prostitution and Interracial Relationships. Since its release, the movie has achieved cult status.According to activist writer Naomi Klein, ironic enjoyment of the film initially arose among those with the video before MGM capitalized on the idea. MGM noticed the video was performing all right, since "trendy twenty-somethings were throwing Showgirls irony parties, laughing sardonically at the implausibly poor screenplay and shrieking with horror at the aerobic sexual encounters." It is shown at midnight madness theaters alongside movies like The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It is heralded as one of the best "bad movies" of all time, and is somewhat of a camp classic (in the vein of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls). Even though the film was not so successful when first released, it is a very well known film, and over the years it has become increasingly popular. The DVD release to this day is one of MGM's top 10 selling DVDs. from Wikipedia

Tuesday 18 December 8:30 pm Big Fish (2003) Tim Burton

Hook, Line and SInker: A Life of Telling Tall Tales Tim Burton -- who made ''Pee-Wee's Big Adventure,'' ''Edward Scissorhands'' and the first two ''Batman'' movies, among others -- is surely one of the most prodigiously imaginative filmmakers around. His best movies glide effortlessly from devilish whimsy to startling perversity, and even when his storytelling falters his inimitably strange visual sensibility leaves its haunting, humorous traces on the memory. There are, true to form, some startling scenes in his new movie, ''Big Fish'': the hero's arrival in a hamlet called Specter, where the streets are paved with grass and the citizens are always barefoot; his encounter with a witch (Helena Bonham Carter) whose glass eye can reveal the future; his appearance on a campus quadrangle carpeted with daffodils. The movie also includes, for good measure, a giant named Karl, a squad of circus folk (led by Danny DeVito), a pair of conjoined Korean twins and some menacing, anthropomorphic trees. The theme of ''Big Fish,'' adapted by John August from the novel by Daniel Wallace, is the transforming, sometimes bewildering power of the imagination, which would seem to be a natural subject for Mr. Burton. But the most curious thing about this magical-realist fable, which opens today in New York, Los Angeles and Toronto, is how thin and soft it is, how unpersuasive and ultimately forgettable even its most strenuous inventions turn out to be.

Alan P. Scott - Reading & Performance

I read the news today, oh boy!

Apparently, and to the consternation of the duly elected authorities, an unkempt mob of anarchists and the unemployed stormed the Houses of Parliament. It followed their somewhat frenzied participation in some sort of intergalactic sonic sit-in at the Royal Albert Hall. After laying siege to the Speaker's Podium, they proceeded to use their disposable cigarette-lighters to fuse the workings of Big-Ben into a 10 foot-high bronze-statue of Smokey Robinson, whilst singing "How sweet it is to be loved by you". This maybe made up, but what is not made up is the fact that on the 29th (Thursday) of this month at around-about 9pm, I'm doing a one man show/reading in the bookshop called 'Another Country' (Riemannstr 7) just off Gneisenaustr. And this is to let you know that I want you to be there, it would make me happy, and you might just possibly have a good time yourself (it is after all free!). My subjects for the night will be: poetry, pomposity, prejudice, the death of celebrity, our unnoticed invasion by aliens and what constitutes lies. And that about covers it really. So hope to see you there and then. (Alan P. Scott)

Movie: Santa Sangre (1989) Alejandro Jodorowsky

SANTA SANGRE is a throwback to the golden age, to the days when filmmakers had bold individual visions and were not timidly trying to duplicate the latest mass-market formulas. This is a movie like none I have seen before, a wild kaleidoscope of images and outrages, a collision between Freud and Fellini. It contains blood and glory, saints and circuses, and unspeakable secrets of the night. And it is all wrapped up in a flamboyant parade of bold, odd, striking imagery, with Alejandro Jodorowsky as the ringmaster.

James Woods, who considers Once Upon a Time in America his finest work, and he mentions in the DVD commentary that one critic dubbed it the film the worst of 1984, only to see the original cut years later and call it the best of the 1980s. Ebert, in his review of Brian DePalma's The Untouchables, called the original uncut version of Once Upon a Time in America the best film depicting the Prohibition era.

Big Daddy Mugglestone, born to a bible-bred family in the west of the new world, has been a philip (horse lover) ever since his father taking him to the horse track every Saturday at a young age. He developed a taste for bad whiskey and fast horses that slowly drew him into juniors competitions starting at the age of 15. Condemned by his colleagues for his unorthodox equestrian methodologies, Mugglestone continues to stun audiences and the traditions of the sport with stunts and jumps that no horse and man have ever accomplished. His most recent feat, 'jump over the candlestick', named for the line in the children's fable, involves him jumping over a 3 meter wide by 2.5 meter high flame. When he performed it at the famed Glastonbury festival last spring the fear and awe of the audience was palpable. In his spare time he works in his banana tree arboretum and kills cats that wander through the back door.

Sister Chain and Brother John (UK, Israel)

This original music is minimalist, raw and intentionally naked – no drums, usually only one instrument – electric guitar or bass – accompanying the vocals. The lyrics are stories about L.A. women, teenage day-dreams and cheap feels. In the guitar tracks the vocals are clear and the riffs cutting. The bass songs are smoother, close to the ear, intense. On stage Sister Chain and Brother John are glamorous, tight and non-compromising. The recordings of the forthcoming album "Darkness To Warm Your Heart" were done on four-track tape, with hardly any effects and extras.
