Discovery screening: Tickets £5 / £4 concessions This event is also part of our Curious about British Art Show 9 programme and will include the screening of the short film Our Home Plymouth before the feature film.Dir. Anisia Uzeyman, Saul Williams, US, 2021, 109 mins, subtitled. Cast. Cheryl Isheja, Bertrand Ninteretse, Eliane Umuhire.The directorial debut of multidisciplinary artists Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman is an exhilarating Afrofuturist, anti-capitalist, sci-fi-punk-musical about a cosmic romance between an intersex hacker and a coltan miner which seeds a revolution.Neptune Frost takes place in the hilltops of Burundi, where a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region’s natural resources and its people. When an intersex runaway and an escaped miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry.Set between states of being – past and present, dream and waking life, colonised and free, male and female, memory and prescience – this is an invigorating and empowering direct download to the cerebral cortex and a call to reclaim technology for progressive political ends. It’s one of the most original and exhilarating films of the year, don’t miss it.Our Home Plymouth (13 mins)This film is a collection of thoughts and feelings from women who have settled in Plymouth. They have compared life in their lands to their home in Plymouth. They have selected archive films to tell their stories and which show the similarities and the differences. Through the film we want to celebrate what unites us. This is an opportunity to share our different voices and celebrate the diversity of life in Plymouth.A film made by Plymouth & Devon Racial Equality Council’s Women’s Collective with Compass Presents, The Box Plymouth and Plymouth Arts Cinema.This project Curious About British Art Show 9 is supported by the BFI Film Audience Network with National Lottery funding as part of Changing Times programme Curious.

Ticket £5 full price/£4 concessions.Our Home Plymouth (13 mins)This film is a collection of thoughts and feelings from women who have settled in Plymouth. They have compared life in their lands to their home in Plymouth. They have selected archive films to tell their stories and which show the similarities and the differences. Through the film we want to celebrate what unites us. This is an opportunity to share our different voices and celebrate the diversity of life in Plymouth.A film made by Plymouth & Devon Racial Equality Council’s Women’s Collective with Compass Presents, The Box Plymouth and Plymouth Arts Cinema.The Personal History of David Copperfield (120 mins)The group behind Our Home Plymouth also curated a special screening of The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019) with Dev Patel as David Copperfield, Ranveer Jaiswal as 4-7-year-old David and Jairaj Varsani the teenage David. This film resonated with the group who wanted an uplifting film, a comedy drama which is “cast with a colour-blind inclusivity”.Dir. Armando Iannucci, UK, 2019, 120 mins. Cast. Dev Patel, Ben Whishaw, Hugh Laurie, Tilda Swinton, Peter Capaldi. Age rating PG.Adapting one of Charles Dickens’ most beloved characters, this Victorian-set epic feels very modern, fresh and, quite frankly, hilarious. Following Copperfield from early youth through to middle age, the story traces his social awakening, charting huge personal ups and downs as he witnesses the best and worst of humanity. Dickens’ ‘favourite child’ amongst his works, the plot also tackles social injustice in many forms – a lack of protection for children, poor industrial conditions for the working class, and wealth inequality. So, who better to tackle this tale than Iannucci, the genius behind The Thick of It, In the Loop and The Death of Stalin. Humorous, busy, bustling and bursting with colour and energy, this is a Dickens reworking unlike any you’ve seen on the screen.This project Curious About British Art Show 9 is supported by the BFI Film Audience Network with National Lottery funding as part of Changing Times programme Curious.

Dir. Various, UK, 90 mins.Right of Way is a new feature-length programme that mixes stunning new artists’ commissions with historical archive films that give a bigger picture of questions of access and inclusion in the UK countryside. This programme is presented by the ICO and LUX and supported by the BFI Film Audience Network and Arts Council England.It’s inspired by the foundation of the National Trails. Set up to resist sweeping industrialisation, these protected landscapes were created with a vision to ‘connect people to the rural landscape’. But during the COVID-19 pandemic – as people realised anew the importance of nature and open spaces for our health and mental wellbeing – inequalities of access to rural land were being exposed, revealing the disconnect felt by millions of people towards the UK countryside. A 2019 government review found that many Black, Asian and ethnically diverse people view the countryside as an ‘irrelevant white, middle-class club’, concluding that this divide is only going to widen as society changes and ‘the countryside will end up being irrelevant to the country that actually exists’. The new commissions interrupt and challenge the enduring perception of the rural idyll as an untouched and unchanging space where time stands still. What happens when Black, Asian and other ethnically diverse people enter these landscapes? How can our natural spaces be homes to protest, trespassing, activism and raves? Paired with archive films that show that the life of the countryside contains multitudes and disrupt simple narratives, this programme is a terrific platform for debate on historical and contemporary discussions about who has a right to the great outdoors and who is excluded from it. Tickets £5 full price /£4 concessions.
