SCOTTISH NATURESQUES 

PHOTOGRAPHY BY SIMON NICHOLAS WHITE 

As a child Simon Nicholas White was obsessed with 

Gustav Holst’s Planet Suite and dreamed of being an 

astronaut - but he grew up to discover he was terrified of 

flying. Today he spends his time exploring the beaches 

and rocky shorelines of Scotland, looking for hidden 

constellations. In his unique visionary photographs, 

which are not digitally manipulated or enhanced in any 

way, pebbles become planets, and every crevice hides a 

secret universe. People who admire his photographs 

often say they can never look at the natural world the 

same way again. 

As the photographer himself says: “nature is the 

greatest artist of all.” 

2 OCTOBER – 3 NOVEMBER 

WOMEN AND MOVEMENTS 

PHOTOGRAPHY BY CLAUDIA FERREIRA 

Women and Movements brings together 20 black and 

white photos from the book and website “Mulheres e 

Movimentos” by Claudia Ferreira illustrating the 

manifestations and mobilizations of the Brazilian and 

Latin American women’s movements in the nineties and 

their active contribution in the global and national 

activities. Women deeply involved in the political and 

cultural life of their countries, as well as in the global 

arena. The photographs collected here have been 

selected from the photographer's personal collection of 

over 4,000 pictures.

classic Italian cinema. From 

international superstars and sultry 

temptresses to fast-talking 

firebrands, Italian cinema has 

given us some of the greatest 

actresses ever to grace the silver 

screen. This retrospective covers a 

range of styles, encompassing the 

verbal fireworks of Anna Magnani, 

the innocence of Giulietta Masina 

and the beauty of Claudia Cardinale 

and Sophia Loren. In collaboration 

with Cinecitta’Holding, with the 

support of the Italian Ministry of 

Culture’s Cinema Department, the 

Italian Cultural Institutes in 

Edinburgh and London and curated

SHADOWS 12A 6.30PM 

(John Cassavetes, USA, 1959) 87m 

With Leila Goldoni, Ben Carruthers, 

Hugh Hurd 

“Cassavetes hugely influential 

‘improvisation’ centres on two 

brothers and a sister – black, but 

passing for white – leading a 

Bohemian life in New York. The 

electric atmosphere and edgily 

naturalistic performances combine 

with free-focus black and white 

camerawork and Charles Mingus’ 

bluesy score to evoke the jazzy soul 

of a city.’ – GEOFF ANDREW.

OPENING 

NIGHT 15 8.20PM 


With Gena Rowlands, Ben Gazarra, 

John Cassavates 

Gena Rowlands plays Myrtle 

Gordon, a Broadway star cast in a 

new play as a middle-aged woman 

of declining sexual power. 

Reluctant to accept her age and 

fearful that she will be typecast as 

an older woman, she is also 

haunted by visions of a dead girl – 

an adoring young fan killed in a car 

accident – whom she sees as a 

figment of her younger self. She 

begins to unravel. An overlooked 

masterpiece of the 1970s.

“Construction worker Peter Falk 

finds his support for wife Gena 

Rowlands wearing thin as her 

behaviour becomes increasingly 

wayward. But who’s crazy here, and 

why? At once funny, emotionally 

draining and admirably ambivalent 

in its response to questions of 

health, happiness and normality, 

this was one of Cassavetes’ 

greatest successes.” – GEOFF

“Cassavetes’ second independent 

film chronicles the events leading 

to a marital crisis. Sexual 

indiscretion, emotional abandon, 

guilt and recrimination form the 

peaks and troughs of a surging, 

seemingly chaotic narrative which 

feels – thanks to superbly nuanced 

performances and long takes 

consisting largely of black and 

white close-ups – as real life 

itself.” – GEOFF ANDREW

“Despite the supremely suspenseful 

scene of the title this compelling 

noir is less thriller than ‘character

the charismatic LA strip-joint 

proprietor in debt to gangsters. 

Partly a self-portrait the film oozes 

seedily seductive allure.” – GEOFF
