Screening No. 15
We'd like to invite you all to our third in the series 'In The Event of a Catastrophe', Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt (Le Mépris, 1963). Although this film needs little introduction you may be wondering why we have chosen to screen it as part of the 'In The Event of a Catastrophe', series. Well we feel the the film has real tension, predominantly felt in the protagonists marriage, that tension which one feels in the event of a looming catastrophe. Another dynamic along this theme is the references made to Homer's Odyssey that perhaps in relation to Theodore Adorno's 1947 essay entitled "Excursus I: Odysseus or Myth and Enlightenment" (a piece that became popular in the 60's), which explains the theory of the "enlightenment myth" which claims to found all western society in that of the ancient Greek's reinforcing chosen laws and systems of hierarchy. It is this entrapment that looms over us as a catastrophe that has already happened, one that we cannot escape from.
See the legendary Fritz Lang playing himself as an exiled Hollywood director and Bridget Bardot as the Siren temptress. Set on the Italian coast the cinematography is mesmerising and romantic.

Dear All,
We'd like to invite you all to our second in the series 'In The Event of a Catastrophe', Tsai Ming Liang's The Hole.
A virus has hit Taiwan causing people to behave like cockroach's. Quarantined areas have been established, but some people refuse to go. We follow the lives of two (verging on voyeuristic) people living above and below each other in this uninhabitable land. A bleak and dark film, cut with short campy sequences; The Hole won the FIPRESCI award at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.

Hello everyone!
We would like to invite you all to the film screening of the classic Logan's Run. This is the first in the third series In the Event of a Catastrophe. In the series we would like to explore the notion of catastrophe, what is the actual perceived notion of it and depicted reactions to it. We hope you all can join us for the classic 1969 film Logan's Run. Based on the novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson, the story is set in post apocalyptic times around an underground based society in which your days are literally numbered! See the protagonists attempt to escape the regulatory death sentence placed upon them in true 1960's sci-fi style.
A classic, not one to be missed!
Hope to see you there.
