Spirit�of�the��Beehive�(1973)Mon 9 May Cert PG/ 97 minutesVictor Erice’s masterpiece is a classic of European cinema. Set in a rural 1940s Spanish village haunted by betrayal and regret and seen through the eyes of seven year old Ana, it exists in a dreamlike state; a richly allegorical tale that is as unique as it is beautiful.Free wine and tapas donated by Barcelona Tapas Bar and Restaurant. Free raffle prize: ‘Frankenstein’ by Mary Shelley donated by Herne Hill Books
Manhattan�(1979)Mon 20 June Cert 15/92 minutes Directed by Woody Allen Manhattan is “the only truly great American film of the 1970s” (American film critic Andrew Sarris). By surrendering to Woody Allen’s most achingly romantic, poignant film, listening to the lush and beautiful George Gershwin music score, marvelling at Gordon Willis’ shimmering monochrome photography of the Big Apple at its most seductive, you will find it very hard to disagree with Sarris’ famous comment. Free food and wine donated by Lucas Bakery. Free raffle prize: Mere Anarchy by Woody Allen donated by Herne Hill Books
Italian�Film�FestivalIn conjunction with Twombly and Poussin: Arcadian Painters Festival Ticket Offer: Three films for £20 (£15 Friends) Sponsored by: Coman & Co tax accountants, Plough Homecraft & Dulwich Tile Centre Free food and drink at all screenings sponsored by Locale, East Dulwich
Cinema�Paradiso�(1989)
Sun 10 July Cert 15/117 minutes 6.15pm for 6.45pm Directed by Guiseppe TornatoreThis much loved classic conjures up memories of the magic of cinema and of Sicily in the 1940s. Toto is a restless boy who escapes from the humdrum of rural life by visiting his friend, the gruff but amiable Alfredo, projectionist at the local Cinema Paradiso. This is a beautiful film, at once hilarious and deeply moving. BAFTA and Academy Award winner.
Journey�to�Italy�(1953)
Mon 11 July Cert PG/80 minutes. Directed by Roberto Rossellini, starring Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders. Rossellini’s greatest film and one of the key works of modern cinema, this portrait of a marriage makes a deliberate break with ‘classic’ Hollywood storytelling. ‘A passionate story of cruelty and cynicism, swirling into a renewal of love’.
I�Am�Love�(2009)
Tues 12 July Introduced by Nicholas Cullinan, curator of ‘Twombly and Poussin’ exhibitionCert 15/110 minutes. Directed by Luca Guadagnino, starring Tilda Swinton, A love story between the wife of a powerful and rich industrialist and a chef, the friend of her son, this award winning film explores themes of tradition and family, loyalty and betrayal with stylish aplomb. Gorgeous to look at and riveting in its deconstruction of a family in crisis.
Grease�(1978)�sing-a-long�Mon 29 Aug (Bank Holiday) Cert PG/110 minutes. On a big screen in the garden 6.30pm gates open7.30pm learn Grease dances with Kevin and Push Studios 8pm film starts £6

Veronese:�Venus�and�Mercury�present�Eros�and�Anteros�to�Jupiter
Thurs 19 MayGods, saints and heroes fill the canvases of Paolo Veronese (1528–1588). His works express the glamour and opulence of sixteenth-century Venice, yet his magnificent canvases drew the disapproving attention of The Inquisition. This talk will look at his highly successful career and consider how the grandeur and independence of his vision mirrored that of The Most Serene Republic – the city of Venice.Lecturer: Jo Walton
Rembrandt:�Rembrandt’s�son��Titus�dressed�as�a�monk
Thurs 16 JuneRembrandt (1606–1669) is revered as his country’s greatest artist. Some of his best known portraits, admired for their directness and honesty, are those of himself and his family. The portrait of 19 year old Titus, dressed as a monk, shows Rembrandt’s tender observation of his son, and his mastery of light and a limited palette.Lecturer: Jessica Saraga
Ingres:�Comtesse�d’Haussonville
Thurs 14 JulyThe sumptuous portrait of the Victomtesse d’Haussonville is ample testimony to Ingres’s supreme talent for creating ‘true portraits’, ‘ideal reconstructions of individuals’ (Baudelaire). This lecture will celebrate the strange beauty of these idealised society portraits. Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780–1867) resented his success in this genre so we will also examine other facets of the work of this complex and puzzling artist.Lecturer: Alan Read
Van�Gogh:�Portrait�with�Felt�Hat
Thurs 25 AugVincent Van Gogh (1853–1890) had a brief but productive career. He travelled frequently but spent most of his artistic career in France. His work was not appreciated during his own lifetime. We know more about his troubled mind than his colourful paintings. His main subjects were portraits and nature. Self Portrait with Felt Hat was produced during the winter of 1887–88 in Paris. Lecturer: Melanie Paice

Richard�Wilson
Wed 1 JuneRichard Wilson is fascinated with architectural and perceived space where our comprehension of that space is questioned. His works draw on engineering and construction and are characterized by their size and structural daring. ‘For Turning the Place Over’, part of Liverpool’s European Capital Of Culture 2008, he pivoted a vast ovoid section of a condemned building. Richard Wilson RA Sculptor
Cornelia�Parker
Wed 8 JuneNominated for the Turner Prize in 1997, Cornelia Parker is known for her installations and interventions. Her work formalises things beyond our control making something quiet and contemplative like the ‘eye of the storm’. By suspending, exploding, crushing and stretching everyday objects, she allows the viewer to witness their transformation into something compelling and extraordinaryCornelia Parker, RA, Sculptor
Peter�Randall-Page
Wed 22 JunePeter Randall-Page has gained an international reputation through his sculpture, drawing and prints, undertaken numerous large scale commissions and exhibited widely, He will talk about his artistic practice, which has always been informed and inspired by the study of organic form and its subjective impact on our emotions, with particular reference to his sculpture ‘Walking the Dog’ Peter Randall-Page, Sculptor

Art�and�Literature
Sat 21 May 10.30am–3.30pmThe link between art and literature is crucial to an understanding of much of the art of the past. For centuries, the closer art was to literature, the greater the art.
