PARAH
Date: 01 - 05 Feb 12
Who are the indigenes and who are the immigrants? Is there a grain of truth in

reality? And is a civic nationalism possible in any society obsessed with race?
Inspired by Yasmin Ahmad’s final film, ‘Talentime’, as well as Abdullah
Hussain’s novel, ‘Interlok’, Parah is a timely exploration of how identities are
contested in a young, pluralistic nation. Funny, provocative and moving, Pariah
asks urgent questions about love, home and belonging.

Film - Orson Welles’ Macbeth (1948)
Date: 11 Mac 12
Shakespeare on Film Season 2012 ~ Orson Welles’ Macbeth (1948)
After the scandal of Citizen Kane, Welles was persona non-grata in Hollywood.
No-one would give him any cash, especially to make his first film Shakespeare.
So to save money he shot his version of the Scottish play on leftover sets from
old cowboy movies and cast himself and friends to act alongside him. Despite all
these restrictions, he still created a dark, brooding and frankly, scary tale of
evil, murder and witchcraft; probably the only ‘Film Noir’ Shakespeare. Starring
Orson Welles and Jeanette Nolan

Shakespeare on Film Season 2012 ~ Franco Zeffireli’s Hamlet (1990)
Like Welles, Zeffirelli made three Shakespeare films. The other two were slick
and bursting with Italian brio while this bit of Zeffirelli’s Shakespeare is
bleak, cold and very Danish; crumbling bare Medieval castle rooms and walls
which still grabbed an Oscar nomination for Art Direction. But it’s the cast
that makes this rather special as it features an action hero as the prince,
outraged and violent, and a screen seductress as his suspiciously affectionate
mother. Starring Mel Gibson and Glen Close.
