The Last Picture Show Friday 28 Sept 8pm The Last Picture Show is one of the key films of the American cinema renaissance of the seventies. Set during the early fifties, in the loneliest Texas nowheresville to ever dust up a movie screen, this aching portrait of a dying West, adapted from Larry McMurtry’s novel, focuses on the daily shuffles of three futureless teens—the enigmatic Sonny (Timothy Bottoms), the wayward jock Duane (Jeff Bridges), and the desperate-to-be-adored rich girl Jacy (Cybil Shepherd)—and the aging lost souls who bump up against them in the night like drifting tumbleweeds, including Cloris Leachman’s lonely housewife and Ben Johnson’s grizzled movie-house proprietor. Featuring evocative black-and-white imagery and profoundly felt performances, this hushed depiction of crumbling American values remains the pivotal film in the career of the invaluable director and film historian Peter Bogdanovich.(1971) |

Stroud Jazz Sessions jam with special guest Craig Crofton Expatriate American tenor sax player Craig Crofton has been living and working in Bristol in Bath for 15 years. When he arrived in the UK he already had considerable technical skills and they have only grown over the years. There are, however, a lot of pro players with technical skill; what sets Craig apart is the visceral excitement in his playing: the attack, the acute sense of rhythm, the drama; it is an assault on the senses, but one that is followed up with unceasing ideas. It strikes one as a very American approach. Over the years, Craig's playing style, always marked by big, bold tone, has moved vaguely from Pharaoh Sanders to Sonny Rollins, but it would be a mistake to read too much into these associations. He'll give a short performance as special guest, before our open jam. Stroud Jazz Sessions is a hub for jazz enthusiasts and performers, every 2nd Thurs of the month. |

A Natural History of Pseudomorphs Simon Ryder will present a performative lecture which will be based around his recent project in Portland Bill, Dorset which was co-commissioned by b-side and Ex Lab, and supported by National Coastwatch Institution. A Natural History of Pseudomorphs was inspired by the unique geology of the Jurassic Coast and the earth scientists who work to unlock its secrets. Gaining access to contemporary scanning processes used by geologists and archaeologists enabled Simon to reveal the unseen – he explored the nuances of scale by contrasting what can be seen and understood with the naked eye with things that cannot. Focusing on the concept of the pseudomorph or ’false body’ Simon extended his personal understanding of how that might be used metaphorically to explore other Portland features, such as The Race. www.simonhryder.wordpress.com |
