We have had major Estates developments with the creati on of a Gallery and Tutors’ Block for the Faculty of Arts and Media at our Kingsway campus, numerous enhancements on the main campuses at Chester and Warrington. However, the major Estates development that has dominated the agenda for the University has been the purchase, alterati on and refurbishment of our Riverside campus, which was formerly County Hall for Cheshire, located on the banks of Dee within the Walls and the City centre. The overall cost of the scheme will be about £15 million, with capital support from the NWDA/ERDF, HEFCE and the University’s funds. This massively impressive building will be the home for the Faculti es of Educati on and Children’s Services and Health and Social Care. In total, some 2,000 students will occupy the new campus from 1 September, with over 150 staff , including the University’s Marketi ng, Recruitment and Admissions Department and Business Development teams, being based there. Universiti es are more than bricks and mortar; they are about people, especially our students and the staff that support them.

    BY HOPE STANISLAW MUCHA HOPE SYNOPSIS HOPE BY STANISLAW MUCHA When a deeply moral and well-respected art historian steals an invaluable painting from a church, righteous and fanatic Francis records the crime on video to blackmail the perpetrator. Much to the thief’s bafflement, the young man is not interested in money but demands that the piece of art be returned to its original place. The borders between idealism and madness blur when it is revealed that Francis’ brother is in jail and his girlfriend has to tolerate Francis’ bizarre self-afflicted tests of courage … STANISLAW MUCHA DIRECTOR Born in 1970 in Nowy Targ, Poland, Stanislaw Mucha studied acting at the Federal Theater Academy “Ludwik Solski” in Krakow´ . After initial successes as an actor, Mucha left Poland to study directing at the The Film & Television Academy (HFF) “Konrad Wolf” in Potsdam-Babelsberg. He became well-known for his quirky documentary ABSOLUT WARHOLA (2001) tracing the origins of the US pop artist Andy Warhol to Poland, Slovakia and the Ukraine. HOPE is Mucha’s first feature film. DIRECTOR’S COMMENTS CAST DIRECTOR’S HOPE Franciszek/Francis HOPE is the story of extortion. An acclaimed art historian and moral authority steals a RAFAL FUDALEJ precious painting from a church… and is caught by a young fanatical do-gooder. Klara/Clare KAMILLA BAAR Hope. You know: “the mother of the stupid”, “hope springs eternal”, etc. I think that Benedykt/Benedict hope is an indispensable element of life. In every life; in my life too. While observing WOJCIECH PSZONIAK reality I feel as if there is no hope, as if it should be invented as fast as you can.
