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:CLOSING TODAY Miramar Al Nayyar: Moving Through the Ether
DESCRIPTION:A collection of abstract figurative works on canvas\, “inviting viewers into a realm of recognition and constant metamorphosis … Each 190 x 120cm canvas serves as a conduit for Miramar’s endeavour to encapsulate the essence of the natural formations of the desert. Eschewing representation\, Miramar aims to distil the essence of these natural phenomena that also lie within natural movement; her bodily movement\, onto her canvases —the intricate textures\, lifeforms\, and undulating terrain—evoking a sense of abstracted organic forms.”

SUMMARY:Les Monologues du V.
DESCRIPTION:A reprise of Culture Emulsion’s careful and effective treatment of the Vagina Monologues; the dramatist Eve Ensler based her text on more than 200 interviews with women who confided their sensations\, their traumas\, their aspirations\, their anxieties\, their joys … As the publicity for this Francophone presentation originally put it: “plus qu’une pièce de théâtre\, c’est un véritable phénomène de société”. This powerful piece of feminist theatre is performed (in French\, of course) by Solena Banks\, Marie-Alice Drissi and Chrystele Rossignol and directed by Stéphane Brismontier as part of Culture Emulsion’s annual Tous en Scène festival of Francophone theatre.

SUMMARY:PowerPointless
DESCRIPTION:One of the most consistently funny of the Courtyard’s classic improv gigs is back after a couple of months’ hiatus: the speakers have to give a presentation on a slide deck they’ve never seen before\, with the topic determined at random by the Wheel of Destiny. Each presentation will be rated by a panel of judges and the winner applauded as the PowerPointless champion. And this time we’re promised a twist on the format … \nIt’s free\, with donations welcome; but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website: it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat). \n
