Jumana Manna, Palestine, 2022, 65 mins, Arabic, Hebrew with English subtitles.Soup Over BethlehemDir. Larissa Sansour, Palestine, 2006, 9 mins, Arabic, with English subtitles.A double-bill of films about food and politics.For centuries, Palestinians have used za’atar (wild oregano) and ‘akkoub (a thistle-like plant) in their cooking. The plants grow wild and are traditionally foraged, but in Israel today both are deemed “protected species” by the government, and penalties for Palestinians caught picking include hefty fines and prison sentences. Gracefully weaving together fiction, documentary and archive footage, Foragers follows the plants from the mountainside to the kitchen, taking in chases between foragers and the Israeli Nature and Parks Authority, courtroom defences, and a delicious-looking lunch. Screening beforehand, Soup Over Bethlehem depicts an ordinary Palestinian family at dinner where a culinary discussion about the national dish 'mloukhieh' soon evolves into a political one. The screening will be followed by a za’atar tasting and talk by Zaytoun CIC, a social enterprise inspired by a love of Palestinian culture, communities and cuisine. They support Palestinian farmers through fair trade; importing and selling za’atar, olive oil and dates in the UK, with all profits being reinvested into the mission.

Carolyn prepared in advance and mixed pigments with water, using graphite powder, Bideford Black and Sumi ink for the black, and red and blue pigment powders made from the mudstones at Garden Cliff. Garden Cliff is from the Triassic Period - the one prior to the biggest climate crisis in history - the Jurassic Period. Last year was the hottest summer since records began. As the ice caps melt, the seas will rise, the river will flood. Water will spread across the land, concealing it. When ice melts, it loses form by transforming to liquid. Ice, melt, flood. A cycle of transitions between solids and liquids.Surface TensionDir: Amanda BluglassWhat lies beneath the surface of Britain’s rivers? Our relationship with our waterways is a romantic one, but England’s precious chalk streams are as polluted as they were half a decade ago. Surprising discoveries are revealed in this poignant reflection on life, above and below the waterline.Eilean EisdealDir: Ruth BellFilmed off the West Coast of Scotland, this atmospheric dance film conveys the landscape through the dancers’ bodies, sound and voice.Don’t Feed The HorsesDir: Georgia Gregory-MorrisDon’t Feed The Horses is a magical realism film following the dizzy and unsuspecting Bootless as he sets out to be reunited with his missing wellington. After meeting two mysterious “horses” along the way, Bootless is faced with a new and disturbing solution to his problem.Moments I Saw In RedDir: Penn Balint'Moments...' is an experimental short film exploring the relationship between trauma, synaesthesia, and art. Shot on 8mm film, the film follows the story of a person with PTSD and synaesthesia who is recounting their memories associated with the colour red.Jokes On YouDir: Claud ToniettoA reflection on the experience of living in a trans body: being a body as a physical experience of sensing, feeling and moving; versus the external reading imposed on the body, that clashes and feels alien. What’s left but to laugh off my own performance of failing (whose? ideas of) gender and labels?SUN DAY Dir: Patrycja LorancA video diary within a series of works exploring states of consciousness, transpersonal experience, complexities of perception and the vulnerability of being.WeightlessDir: Lois NormanIn this solo and affecting performance by award winning actor Toyah Willcox, we are witness to the world and anguish of 62-year-old Maureen, as she fights alone on a seashore, for a shard of self-belief. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, we witness the bravery it can take to move beyond the shame of her eating disorder, body dysmorphia and the voices of past judgement, towards a splash of possibility: that she might finally feel she is ‘enough’.15.45-17.00 Screening 2Period DramaDir: Black Bark Films A deep dive into chronic anxiety through a personal feminist lens, via slasher flicks, bloody knickers & suicidal insects.Peach Fuzz Dir: Holly-Jane Mutton A poetic documentary exploring the detrimental impact body hair has on the lives of young women and the differing opinions that still surround the topic. The film is told in four parts - MONEY, CAREER, SEX and CHOICE - delving into ideas of how female-presenting people navigate the world of body hair removal and how this affects other aspects of their life such as finances, time and work. Fallen AngelDir: Bex PhillipsThe Fallen Angels first fell on the streets of Manchester in December 2012 to mark what was believed to be the end of the world. Since then, Fallen Angels have descended onto the streets of our towns and cities to coincide with astronomical events passing comets, meteorites, and Super Moons.Harry Dir: Kate StubbsReflecting on his childhood and growing up during The Troubles in Belfast, Harry confronts his own prejudice and questions his current climate activism.Tebel VenynDir: Izzy Wilkinson Eva, an isolated young woman, encounters a mysterious creature residing in the waters surrounding her community. It isn’t before long that the line between good and evil begins to blur. A short dark piece about isolation, transgression and obsession.Placenta Pâté Dir: Tia Salisbury New mum Libby has breastfeeding woes, but when her wife, Erin suggests a traditional placenta remedy is the answer, underlying tensions rear their head and it's not just the kitchen getting messy.

Dir. Yamada Kana, Japan, 2019, 98 min, subtitled. Cast. Itoh Sairi, Tsunematsu Yuri, Kataoka Reiko.In the ramshackle office of one of Tokyo’s inconspicuous, low-rent escort services, the lives of the call girls waiting for their next client are laid bare. Kano, who acts as a caretaker for the girls, tries her best to defuse any potential drama, but their already tenuous peace is thrown into disarray when a new girl joins, and the hierarchy among the girls shifts. This feature film debut from Yamada Kana (head of the ROJI9 theatre company) is an adaptation of a stage play she penned herself. Rather than exploiting the stereotypes often attached to the sex industry, this offers a more humanistic view of the lives of these women trying to make a living as best they know how.

The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2022 Will I be Single Forever – Tuesday 8th March Ora Ora Be Goin’ Alone – Tuesday 15 March The House on the Lost On The Cape – Tuesday 22 March Life Untitled – Tuesday 29th March The UK’s largest festival of Japanese cinema is back for its 19th edition with an exciting showcase of Japanese films, most of which have only recently been released in Japan, and all of which intricately render their respective dark depths of the human mind. So, what constitutes an unfathomable ‘dark mind’ lurking beneath the surface in modern age Japan? Would the definition of it now be more diverse when the society we are living in is more complicated than before? Does such a psychological state add to an interesting cinematic story? From recently released contemporary works, to anime and rare classics, the Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2022 aims to answer these questions and demonstrate how films, seemingly different in tone and style, have the same facet running through them and that all ultimately deal in human darkness. From crime films to charming dramas, presenting an assortment of stories about people from different walks of life, this programme will showcase the cinematic voices and skills of both experienced and emerging filmmakers and aims to cater to the varied tastes of the UK audiences.
