  • Exhibitionein Film Von Joanna Hogg Mit Viv Albertine, Liam Gillick & Tom Hiddleston
    EXHIBITION ein Film von Joanna Hogg mit Viv Albertine, Liam Gillick & Tom Hiddleston | UK 2013 | 104 Minuten | englische Originalfassung mit deutschen Untertiteln | Fugu Filmverleih | Deutscher Kinostart: 11. Dezember 2014 “It’s in the Walls!” D in EXHIBITION SYNOPSIS Zwei Künstler, ein Haus, eine unkonventionelle Ehe. H und D leben in einem extravaganten Bau im Londoner Stadtteil Kensington. Sie arbeiten parallel an ihren Projekten, geben Telefoninterviews, lassen die Außenwelt nur gedämpft herein und verabreden sich über die Haussprechanlage zu Sex oder Abendessen. H. hat das Gefühl, schon zu lange an einem Ort zu leben. Er überzeugt D, das Haus zu verkaufen. Im Prozess der Ablösung gerät die Beziehung in eine Krise. Plötzlich erhält D, die Angst vor Veränderungen hat, das Angebot einer großen Einzelausstellung. Wird die Ehe zerbrechen oder ein Neuanfang gelingen? Stellt sich heraus, dass ihr Traumhaus die ganze Zeit schon ein Gefängnis war? PRESSENOTIZ EXHIBITION, der dritte Film der „einzigartig begabten Filmemacherin“ (Martin Scorsese) Joanna Hogg, ist ein großstädtisches Kammerspiel mit drei Darstellern: der Ex-Slits-Gitarristin Viv Albertine, dem Maler und Objektkünstler Liam Gillick und dem „H-House“ des Architekten James Melvin. PRODUKTIONSNOTIZEN EXHIBITION ist der dritte Spielfilm von Joanna Hogg, einer vor allem von der britischen Filmkritik umjubelten Filmregisseurin und –autorin, die 2007 mit UNRELATED auf sich aufmerksam machte und deren zweiter Spielfilm ARCHIPELAGO (2010) auch in Deutschland ins Kino kam. Beide Filme zeigten Hoggs Talent für Ensemblechoreografien, für einen analytisch- beobachtenden Stil und einen scharfen Blick auf die englische Mittelklasse – deren Verhaltensweisen, Ängste, Tabus und Verletzlichkeiten sie sehr genau kennt. UNRELATED und ARCHIPELAGO sind raue emotionale Dramen und spröde Sozialkomödien gleichermaßen, die ihre Autorin als originelle neue Stimme im britischen Kino ausweisen.

  • A Film by Joanna Hogg
    presents EXHIBITION A FILM BY JOANNA HOGG UK / COLOUR / 104 MINUTES / 2013 A Kino Lorber Release from Kino Lorber, Inc. 333 West 39 St., Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (212) 629-6880 Publicity Contacts: Rodrigo Brandão – [email protected] Matt Barry – [email protected] SHORT SYNOPSIS When D and H decide to sell the home they have loved and lived in for two decades, they begin a process of saying goodbye to their shared history under the same roof. The upheaval causes anxieties to surface, and wife and performance artist D, struggles to control the personal and creative aspects of her life with H. Dreams, memories, fears, have all imprinted themselves on their home, which exists as a container for their lives and has played such an important role in their relationship. LONG SYNOPSIS Artists D (Viv Albertine) and H (Liam Gillick) are a married couple who have lived together in a West London house for nearly 20 years. It is a modernist house - all verticals, reflecting windows and sliding partitions – and seemingly the ideal residence for two artists who each work independently at home in their separate spaces, occasionally communicating briefly by intercom. Throughout EXHIBITION we see D and H living together, working separately, communicating or failing to communicate – in a series of moments depicting a long-term relationship that sometimes seems to be in meltdown, at other times extremely strong. It’s autumn. H suggests to D that she’s unwilling to discuss her work with him; she says she’s reluctant to expose herself to his criticism.

  • 'Materialising Absence in Film and Media' Screening the Past (2017
    ‘Materialising Absence in Film and Media’ Screening the Past (2017) Davina Quinlivan An Architecture of Light and Air: Rhythms of Stillness, Intimacy and Imagination in Joanna Hogg’s Exhibition (2013) During a key sequence in Hogg’s Exhibition, we hear stifled noises, breaths and whispers as the lead protagonist, a performance artist known only as ‘D’ (Viv Albertine), navigates the physical and psychical parameters of her beloved, modernist house in London. On the threshold of a new stage in her career and the sale of her marital home, D’s inner and outer worlds are unsettled, call into question and refigured as projections of her dreams, desires and their sensuous manifestations. In particular, Hogg’s rejection of scoring such moments sculpts a much more intimate and subtle soundscape of silence, breaths, kinetic movement and low, distant rumblings of urban life. This article will call attention, precisely, to the role of the senses and the sonic, as well as visual, texture of Exhibition in order to examine the evocation of imagination and desire, proximity and spatiality. This will lead me to the philosophical thought of Luce Irigaray and Gaston Bachelard, in particular, in order to shed light on the significance of gender and the embodied experience of air, the elements and the modernist spaces at the heart of Hogg’s film. More broadly, I aim to rethink Hogg’s intertextual references, visual language and subject matter in the context of this special issues’ theme of absence and its opening up of fresh questions relating to the cinematic representation of absence and female embodiment, sonic cinema and sensory experience.

  • 02 the Hollow Crown Bios
    Press Contact: Harry Forbes 212.560.8027, [email protected] Lindsey Bernstein 212.560.6609, [email protected] Great Performances: The Hollow Crown Bios Tom Hiddleston After he was seen in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire by Lorraine Hamilton of the notable actors’ agency Hamilton Hodell, Tom Hiddleston was shortly thereafter given his first television role in Stephen Whittaker’s adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby (2001) for ITV, starring Charles Dance, James D’Arcy and Sophia Myles. Roles followed in two one-off television dramas co-produced by HBO and the BBC. The first was Conspiracy (2001), a film surrounding the story of the Wannsee Conference in 1942 to consolidate the decision to exterminate the Jews of Europe. The film prompted Tom’s first encounter with Kenneth Branagh who took the lead role of Heydrich. The second project came in 2002 in the critically acclaimed and Emmy Award- winning biopic of Winston Churchill The Gathering Storm, starring Albert Finney and Vanessa Redgrave. Tom played the role of Randolph Churchill, Winston’s son, and cites that particular experience – working alongside Finney and Redgrave, as well as Ronnie Barker, Tom Wilkinson, and Jim Broadbent – as extraordinary; one that changed his perspective on the art, craft and life of an actor. Tom graduated from RADA in 2005, and within a few weeks was cast as Oakley in the British independent film Unrelated by first-time director Joanna Hogg. Unrelated tells the story of a woman in her mid-40s who arrives alone at the Italian holiday home of an extended bourgeois family.

Invited speakers will talk about oral and sound experimentation in performance and drama, written or adapted for radio or new digital platforms. The workshop will also ask, ‘Can developments in the use of voice, ‘spoken word’ events, and the broadcasting of literary works inform the creative writing workshop as a collaborative and participatory space?’ Key Note Speakers: Timberlake Wertenbaker, Playwright, adaptor, translator. Dr Valentina Castagna (Associate Research Fellow, Birkbeck; University of Palermo) Dr Catherine Grant (University of Sussex; Professor of Digital Media and Screen Studies at Birkbeck College, from Sept. 1 2017) Words on the Move I (November 1, 2016) focussed on poetry in performance, in connection with the international project Stories in Transit (2016-ongoing), and the work of the Watadd Research Network, to nourish storytelling and other forms of expression in refugee communities.

  • Damsels in Distress? Women Film Directors and British Cinema Funding Post- Millennium
    Damsels in Distress? Women film directors and British cinema funding post- millennium By Stella Hockenhull Keywords: female directors, Women in the Workplace, Directors UK, UK Film Council (UKFC), Christine Langan, Tessa Ross, Tanya Seghatchian On 28 March 2013, a small group of British female academics submitted written evidence of their findings to a Commons Select Committee concerning the dearth of British women film and television directors within the industry.1 Entitled Women in the Workplace (Conley et al. 2013), part of that report contained evidence from Directors UK, an organization formed in 2008 that calls itself ‘the voice of British film and television directors’ (Conley et al. 2013). A professional association with over 4,500 members, Directors UK explicitly expressed concern over the paucity of female film and television directors within the British media industry, although the period from 2000 to 2010 saw a rise in female film directors, reaching a peak in 2009, when they accounted for 17.2 per cent of British film directors overall.2 The increase coincides with the initiation of the UK Film Council (UKFC) and its changing policies concerning the encouragement of greater diversity and equal opportunities within the film industry. Within a historical context and in light of funding and UKFC policy, this article analyses its impact on women film directors in British cinema post-millennium. That women film directors in Britain (and indeed internationally) constitute a small percentage of the workforce is not a new phenomenon; indeed, during the preceding century women were also under-represented within the UK film industry. Before World War II there was little opportunity for women directors, particularly in directing fiction films and, according to Sue Harper, ‘[i]n the 1930s, women experienced extreme difficulties breaking into the technical side of production, and also into the union, the ACT’ (2000: 191).
