SCOTTISH NATURESQUES<br />

PHOTOGRAPHY BY SIMON NICHOLAS WHITE<br />

As a child Simon Nicholas White was obsessed with<br />

Gustav Holst’s Planet Suite and dreamed of being an<br />

astronaut - but he grew up to discover he was terrified of<br />

flying. Today he spends his time exploring the beaches<br />

and rocky shorelines of Scotland, looking for hidden<br />

constellations. In his unique visionary photographs,<br />

which are not digitally manipulated or enhanced in any<br />

way, pebbles become planets, and every crevice hides a<br />

secret universe. People who admire his photographs<br />

often say they can never look at the natural world the<br />

same way again.<br />

As the photographer himself says: “nature is the<br />

greatest artist of all.”<br />

2 OCTOBER – 3 NOVEMBER<br />

WOMEN AND MOVEMENTS<br />

PHOTOGRAPHY BY CLAUDIA FERREIRA<br />

Women and Movements brings together 20 black and<br />

white photos from the book and website “Mulheres e<br />

Movimentos” by Claudia Ferreira illustrating the<br />

manifestations and mobilizations of the Brazilian and<br />

Latin American women’s movements in the nineties and<br />

their active contribution in the global and national<br />

activities. Women deeply involved in the political and<br />

cultural life of their countries, as well as in the global<br />

arena. The photographs collected here have been<br />

selected from the photographer's personal collection of<br />

over 4,000 pictures.<br />

SIGNORE & SIGNORE:<br />

LEADING LADIES OF<br />

ITALIAN CINEMA<br />

An Italian Film Festival UK season<br />

dedicated to the best actresses of<br />

classic Italian cinema. From<br />

international superstars and sultry<br />

temptresses to fast-talking<br />

firebrands, Italian cinema has<br />

given us some of the greatest<br />

actresses ever to grace the silver<br />

screen. This retrospective covers a<br />

range of styles, encompassing the<br />

verbal fireworks of Anna Magnani,<br />

the innocence of Giulietta Masina<br />

and the beauty of Claudia Cardinale<br />

and Sophia Loren. In collaboration<br />

with Cinecitta’Holding, with the<br />

support of the Italian Ministry of<br />

Culture’s Cinema Department, the<br />

Italian Cultural Institutes in<br />

Edinburgh and London and curated<br />

by Piera De Tassis from the book<br />

“Signore e Signore”. All films are in<br />

Italian with English subtitles and<br />

are screened as single bills.<br />

The season will continue<br />

throughout October.<br />

SHADOWS 12A 6.30PM<br />

(John Cassavetes, USA, 1959) 87m<br />

With Leila Goldoni, Ben Carruthers,<br />

Hugh Hurd<br />

“Cassavetes hugely influential<br />

‘improvisation’ centres on two<br />

brothers and a sister – black, but<br />

passing for white – leading a<br />

Bohemian life in New York. The<br />

electric atmosphere and edgily<br />

naturalistic performances combine<br />

with free-focus black and white<br />

camerawork and Charles Mingus’<br />

bluesy score to evoke the jazzy soul<br />

of a city.’ – GEOFF ANDREW.<br />

Gena Rowlands plays Myrtle<br />

Gordon, a Broadway star cast in a<br />

new play as a middle-aged woman<br />

of declining sexual power.<br />

Reluctant to accept her age and<br />

fearful that she will be typecast as<br />

an older woman, she is also<br />

haunted by visions of a dead girl –<br />

an adoring young fan killed in a car<br />

accident – whom she sees as a<br />

figment of her younger self. She<br />

begins to unravel. An overlooked<br />

masterpiece of the 1970s.<br />

Rowlands wearing thin as her<br />

behaviour becomes increasingly<br />

wayward. But who’s crazy here, and<br />

why? At once funny, emotionally<br />

draining and admirably ambivalent<br />

in its response to questions of<br />

health, happiness and normality,<br />

this was one of Cassavetes’<br />

greatest successes.” – GEOFF<br />
