Film Screening and Talk Aaron Head: Tour of Failure

Thursday 27 September / 7pm / Free

A new film and talk meditating on the notion of failure, introduced by artist  Aaron Head.

 

Edited entirely from amateur online footage, this film assemblage of sound and image meditates on the languages of failure and personal validation -  two themes which abound on the internet.

Featuring over five hundred  found clips,  Head's film includes broken clocks, bad violin recitals, glitching TVs, drunken karaoke and broken lights. Largely unplanned and circumstantial, the film's evolving narrative plays with its own form and associations. The slippery language and relative notions of self, success and failure are explored through methods of editing and appropriation.  Casting a net over a directionless drift of images, the film plucks out the beauty of the malformed and seemingly failed and puts them into new pockets of meaning and sense.

Aaron Head introduces his film by describing the journey towards its making. He will also outline the larger Tour of Failure project, including how to submit entries to the Archive of Failure,  an unselected and unedited series of photographic /t ext responses to the idea of failure in its broadest possible sense or deviations.

Henri Cartier Bresson -The Impassioned Eye

Henri Cartier Bresson – The Impassioned Eye Dir. Heinz Bütler (Unrated, 1 hr 12 mins)

Friday 21 September / 6.30pm / £5 (concessions £3), including a free drink for advance bookers.

A wonderful, evocative biography of the man considered the greatest photographer of the last century. Cartier-Bresson's life reads like a history of the century. World War II, China, Egypt, Mexico, India, Sartre, Matisse, Ghandi (minutes before he was killed), and Cuba all became subjects of his famous "decisive moment" style. Interviews with Cartier-Bresson, Isabelle Huppert, Arthur Miller and other luminaries are woven into this indelible portrait of an icon of both photography and the world.
