Lock Up Your Daughters Filmmaking Group

16 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT

Lock up Your Daughters Filmmaking is a queer collective who have made various short films and music videos over the past two years of their existence. They offer everyone at all levels of experience the opportunity to get involved with filmmaking. With an emphasis on learning, through taking part in shoots, and on sharing skills and ideas, they aim to combine a fun and friendly atmosphere with some tough love - encouraging some hard slog to turn ideas into art.

Meetings consist of script presentations, watching short films and lively discussions about filmmaking on a shoe string. You will have the chance to gain feedback on your ideas and meet people who are interested in working on your project, as well as learning the necessary skills, creative leanings, and/or equipment that will set you on your way. Productions are regularly chosen to work on together as a group and you will be intergral to the planning and development of these, organising shoots and training. Anyone is welcome to come along and the group is very open to different concepts and styles.

Film Screening with introduction: 100 Years of Le Sacre du Printemps

29 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT

For celebrating the centenary of Igor Stravinsky’s Sacre du Printemps (Rite of Spring), premiered on 29 May 1913 and considered the most influential piece of 20th-century ballet and orchestral music, the Goethe-Institut, the Alliance Française de Glasgow and the University of Glasgow are presenting two productions of the Rite of Spring in the cinema of CCA Glasgow. Both screenings will be introduced by Dr Anselm Heinrich, Lecturer in Theatre Studies at Glasgow University.

The evening begins with Pina Bausch’s legendary 1975 choreography of the piece, put on stage just three years after she had become artistic director of the then Wuppertal Opera Ballet. Bausch’s setting of the Sacre includes 32 dancers who perform on a stage covered in thick dark earth. Her answer to Stravinsky's masterpiece marks a turning point for establishing her 'dance theatre' as a unique genre and inspired choreographers throughout the world.

For his 2011 version of the Sacre du Printemps, French choreographer Jean-Claude Gallotta chose to work on the version of the work recorded by Igor Stravinsky himself as he considers it to be one of the best: raw, unornamented, tough and directed without affection. Gallotta’s approach is threefold: His Sacre is preceded by two short pieces: Tumulte and Pour Igor. In the former, the choreographer marks the contrast between the silence of the dance and the rhythm of the music. The second, a solo dance performance, is Gallotta’s ultimate tribute to the composer and his seminal work.
