THE FIVE OBSTRUCTIONS
'mischievous and provocative' Observer
'Hilarious ... beautifully shot' Screen International
In the first of Dogme's non-fiction features ('dogumentaries'), Lars von
Trier challenges his mentor - the enigmatic bon viveur Jorgen Leth - to
remake five times Leth's highly influential 1967 short The Perfect Human
according to certain perverse rules. In what becomes a dual of dirty tricks,
Leth is forced to contend with a set of creative constraints that push
him to his limits, from Cuba to the red light district of Bombay and back
to his adopted home of Haiti. Hugely entertaining, the film reveals much
about both the processes of movie-making and the relationship between
a self-appointed enfant terrible and his elected father figure. Dir Lars
von Trier/Jorgen Leth, Denmark 2003, 90 mins, subs

ICA PROJECTS
DERRIDA
'Blissful...' New York Times
'Inspirational and unexpectedly moving' Film Comment
This award-winning film is an intimate portrait of the brilliant, controversial
philosopher and intellectual icon Jacques Derrida, whose theory of 'deconstruction'
has deeply influenced the studies of literature, philosophy, ethics, architecture
and law, indelibly marking the intellectual landscape of the 20th and
21st centuries. Combining rare private footage of Derrida with his reflections
on deconstruction, violence, love and death, the film investigates the
concept of biography and explores the relationship between the public
and the private. Provocative and entertaining, Derrida is co-directed
by philosophy scholar Amy Ziering Kofman and film maker Kirby Dick, with
a mesmerising score by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Dir Kirby Dick/Amy Ziering Kofman,
US 2002, 85 mins
Cinema 2: 1-31 Dec

L'ATALANTE
'Mesmeric' Time Out
A work of great simplicity, lyricism, humour and delicate beauty, and
one of cinema's greatest love stories in which a young couple are separated
and reunited along the canal-ways of France. The son of an anarchist,
Vigo completed just a few striking and celebrated works before his premature
death. Dir Jean Vigo, France, 1930, 89 mins, Subs
11-14 Dec, 8.15pm
STALKER
'Tarkovsky conjures images like you've never seen before' Time Out A journey
through a sentient landscape of hallucinatory power, as the Stalker leads
a writer and a professor across the forbidden territory of the Zone into
the very heart of darkness. Dir Andrei Tarkovsky, Russia 1979, 161 mins,

Art Spiegelman and Philip Pullman in Conversation
Tonight Pulitzer prize-winning artist, Art Spiegelman discusses his work
with acclaimed novelist Philip Pullman. Best known for the Holocaust narrative,
Maus, Spiegelman is also cofounder and editor of the avant-garde comics
magazine, RAW, and edits Little Lit, a series of comics anthologies for
children. He is currently working on an opera, Drawn to Death about the
history of comics, has recently completed Kisses from New York, an anthology
of his work at the New Yorker, and published a series "In the Shadow
of No Towers" in several papers and magazines, including the London
Review of Books. Last year Philip Pullman's The Amber Spyglass won the
Whitbread Book of the Year, the first book for children ever to achieve
this feat; the book is part of the famous "His Dark Materials"
fantasy saga, a great success with adults and children, the latest tale
of which, Lyra's Oxford, is just out. Other books include Clockwork; I
was a Rat which was dramatised for BBC television and the award-winning

FOREIGN OFFICE ARCHITECTS: BREEDING ARCHITECTURE
'Gracious, thoughtful, sensitive to other cultures and yet original and
strong-willed' Guardian This is the first UK exhibition of the acclaimed
architects, Foreign Office Architects (FOA), founded by Farshid Moussavi
and Alejandro Zaera Polo. Based in London, they have a global reputation
with projects commissioned or realised in cities as varied as London,
New York, Tehran, Seoul and Yokohama.
FOA's diverse projects include, among others, an international port terminal,
an urban and coastal park, a theatre, a police headquarters and a proposed
replacement for the World Trade Centre. Designed as a series of immersive
installations, this visually stunning exhibition explores FOA's projects,
the particularities of each city in which they've built, and the influences
on their work. The exhibition also provides, uniquely, a critical insight
into the office's internal 'operating system'.
Amidst projections of built projects and related UV illuminated drawings,
the lower galleries contain architectural models placed on a vivid diagram
linking each project. Video interviews are featured with an international
selection of FOA's clients, allowing a rare insight into the commissioning
and developing of projects. The concourse gallery features an installation
comprising illustrated samples of the surface textures of their projects.

Crackin Skulls present: MO' MONEY MO' PRESENTS
With Tommy Vance, Gonga + special guests TBC
This Christmas, Crackin' Skullz return to The Mall to ring in the festive
season and pay respect to the man who showed us young DJs the way. After
Gonga and Tokyo Dragon have played live to show us the future of rock,
we take it back to the old school with a classic DJ set from TOMMY VANCE.
Renowned as the barrel-chested baritone brigadier of radio, a gravel-voiced
god who's kicked it with every rock legend from the last 30 years, for
one night only, he's descending on the ICA at our invitation to rock like
only he can. Hell, you think you know about rock because you saw the Darkness
and bought a Motely Crue t-shirt off Ebay? Please. This guy was inventing
rock while you were still in nappies. You could at least come down and
buy him a pint or something. £8, £7 Concs. £6 ICA Members

SCHNEIDER TM PLUS CHRIST
'... works of discovered beauty to squint at the sun to' The Herald With
last years magical Zoomer LP and a timely Smiths cover, Schneider TM defied
expectations of aural wallpaper electronica with a grace, passion and
wit that marked a songwriter whose talents were in full bloom. We welcome
Schneider aka Dirk Dresselhaus and band back for an exclusive London show.
Support comes from the electronic pioneer and enigma, Christ, who much
like his namesake has been shrouded with the kind of mystery and rumour
mongering that's worthy of the richest biblical mythology. At this year's
Sonar festival his performance was hailed as the highlight of the festival.

LAPTOP LOVERS
JAMES HUTCHINSON, CLIVE JACKSON, DOMINIC SMITH, SNEHA SOLANKI
A curated exhibition showcasing new work from four leading media artists
based in the North East of England. All the artists playfully explore
the use of software as a tool to create work that subverts the conventional
use of the technology. Beautiful Square by James Hutchinson depicts the
movement of a white pixel (extracted from Final Cut Pro software) across
black space. By removing the square from the original software and controlling
its movement through key frame animation he alludes to both retro computer
game Pong and inverts Malevich's painting Black Square. Clive Jackson's
work follows this aesthetic of the pixel. In Laptop Dancers we are presented
with moving black pixels which gradually emerge into a figurative image
of male and female club dancers. Jackson is interested in the process
of stripping images to their core components of black and white values.
Dominic Smith works with live streaming in Micro Psychic, linking a clairvoyant
in the northern seaside town of South Shields to the ICA. A remote digital
fortune telling experience! Sneha Solanki will be creating a new networked
piece for the ICA, three connected machines will slowly infect each other
with a virus through the interface of short story narrative, leading to
irrational behaviour and communication between the computers in a programmed
and controlled environment. Additional programming on James Hutchinson's
work by Andrew Richardson.
