SUMMARY:More Than Honey: dir Markus Imhoof (2012)
DESCRIPTION:“If the bee disappears from the surface of the Earth\,” said Albert Einstein\, “man would have no more than four years left to live”. Well\, all over the world bees have been dying for the past few years. Although the causes for this are still a mystery\, one thing is already clear: there is more at stake than simply a few dead insects\, and a great deal more than just honey. Imhoof’s documentary embarks on a journey to meet some of the people whose lives depend on bees – a Swiss beekeeper in he Alps\, the gigantic almond plantations of California\, a bee brain researcher in Berlin\, a pollen trader in China. \nThis film screens as part of the NAAS film programme\, a collaborative presentation by several cultural institutions in the UAE in partnership with Manarat Al Sadiyyat:  the Embassies of France\, Austria\, Switzerland and Canada\, the Italian Cultural Institute of Abu Dhabi\, and the Goethe-Institut Gulf Region.

SUMMARY:Stop Making Sense: dir Jonathan Demme (1984)
DESCRIPTION:The best ever concert film? Certain one of the best; and one of the best suits\, too … Jonathan Demme captured the energy and artsy groove of David Byrne\, Tina Weymouth\, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison at their best. Shot over three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December 1983\, it shows you what all the fuss was about as Tallking Heads run through some of their best\, from Psycho Killer and Take Me to the River to Burning Down the House. The Hollywood gigs were part of the tour that promoted the Heads’ Speaking in Tongues album\, which brought a lot more funk into the white Eno-based arthouse sound of their previous releases. The inspiration for that included Tom Tom Club\, the side project of drummer Chris Frantz and bassist Tina Weymouth\, which was real a dance-funk outfit that also features in the Hollywood gigs … Highly recommended\, especially as this is a newly restored print to celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is eliminated. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
