Comic Geniuses: The Marx Brothers

Groucho, Harpo and Chico, the three Marx brothers, entertained cinema audiences for decades from the 1930s onwards. They started out as vaudeville performers on stage and eventually moved on to the big screen. In Swedish, the films were given titles that began "En dag på...". In the crazy and completely irreverent company of the comedians, we visited the racetrack, the opera and the department store among many other things. Here is the truth behind the scenes that became little comic gems, legendary even today.

Five Days With Tom

Irish photographer Tom Wood, affectionately known as "Photie Man" by the people of Liverpool, his adopted city, needs no introduction. He captured it in an almost obsessive manner from 1978 to 2001. His photographs are a tender chronicle of the daily life of the Scousers, from the market to the Anfield football stadium, through its nightclubs and the seaside resort of New Brighton. In front of Emmanuel Bonn's camera, the photographer revisits these places that continue to nourish his work. Back in his home in Wales, against a backdrop of classical music, Tom Wood invites us to dive into his archives and shares his vision of the medium, his life, and the projects that have marked it. A modest and touching portrait of whom Martin Parr calls the "unsung genius of British photography.”

And the Seas Bring Forth New Lands

Ebun Sodipo’s film And the Seas Bring Forth New Lands brings together archival footage and a performance of original text to grapple with the interconnected precarity and joys of Black life. Footage combines clips from popular films, news broadcasts, social media platforms such as Vine, and fashion shows. Sodipo’s film reckons with the demands placed on Black existence while speculating on other ways of being adjacent to these violences. The soundscape knits together music from artists such as Blood Orange and Solange, along with Sodipo’s performed text.

The Mack: A Tale of Two Fires

In May 2014, fire tore through the west wing of the Glasgow School of Art, destroying its famous library. Designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the building was one of the finest examples of modern architecture in the world. What followed was the biggest conservation project in Europe: to restore the building to Mackintosh's original vision. It was on the verge of completion when a second, more devastating fire struck in June 2018. Featuring behind the scenes access following the restoration process, this documentary charts five extraordinary years which saw the Glasgow School of Art make headlines around the world. A tale of passion, dedication and emotion: as the building is brought back to life only to be destroyed once more, we hear from the highly skilled conservation workers, architects, former students, local residents and artists in a compelling portrait of the battle to save The Mack.

Approaching Viriditas (Epilogue)

An egg that won’t crack. A mermaid who wants to do the splits. A breast that won’t lactate. A pelican that pecks itself. This performance to camera builds on a series of live works made in 2018 and develops a free-associative language to discuss the lived experience of fertility treatment. Viriditas is a concept associated with the medieval mystic Hildegard of Bingen – a notion of spiritual ‘greening’, which here is applied to the female body. Performative action is layered with readings of Hildegard’s texts and coded watercolour drawings. Other points of reference include Carlo Crivelli’s portraits of the Virgin and Child; the lactating nereids on the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna; and the pagan-Catholic hybrid goddess, Madonna of the Wheat. This work is supported by a bursary from a-n The Artists Information Company and supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Censoring Nuremburg

In 1938 private Arnold Joseph, a German Jew from Saarbrücken, managed to escape from the Nazis to the USA.

After the trials, Joseph succeeded as a humanities scholar and an educator - he settled in Columbus, Ohio, graduated from The Ohio State University, and taught French at Denison University until his retirement in 1990.
