TONY (18) 11.15pm

(UK 2009) dir. Gerard Johnson 76m. Digital.
Peter Ferdinando, Greg Kam, Ricky Grover, Kerryann White, Frank Boyce, Sam Kempster, George Russo, Neil Maskell, Francis Pope, Mark Mooney, Vicky Murdock, Cyrus Desir, Lorenzo Camporese, Ian Groombridge.

Tony is a socially inept, jobless loner... and a serial killer. But, as he is also clearing his rundown neighbourhood of undesirables, is Tony really a local hero who's working for everyone's benefit? An amoral pyschopath or just differently moral? With a brilliant performance by Peter Ferdinando as Tony, writer/director Gerard Johnson's strikingly designed and shot debut feature is a mordantly deadpan and wickedly funny original take on the psychological horror genre.

JOHNNY MAD DOG (15) 4.15

(France 2008) dir. Jean-Stephane Sauvaire 98m. Subtitles.
Christophe Minie, Daisy Victoria Vandy.

Fiction based on horrifying fact. In an ongoing civil war in an unnamed (but shot in Liberia) African nation, fifteen-year-old Johnny Mad Dog heads a platoon of soldiers who are even younger than he is. In complete contrast, the studious Laokolé lives with her young brother and disabled father and dreams of a better life – until Johnny appears. The central performances of Vandy and Minie are truly amazing and to say that the film packs a punch to send you reeling would be an understatement.

SAT 13 Mar • Artprojx presents

‘W.O.W. Noumenon Dilation: Reduced to 3’ 11.45pm

A performance by Tai Shani

This fantastical new project consists of a re-working of ‘World on a Wire', Rainer Werner Fassbinder's television adaptation of Daniel F. Galouye's science fiction novel, ‘Simulacron 3'.

To mark the dimensional, space-time shift phenomenon due to occur that night ‘W.O.W. Noumenon Dilation: Reduced to 3' is a live teleportation of Fassbinder's anti-hero from ‘The New Orpheum Theatre', a fictional cinema, to the magnificent, art deco auditorium of the Rio Cinema. Travelling through degrees of fiction and temporality, he will materialise into three time machines, three body doubles, collapsing, colliding and forever reproduced.

The performance incorporates a specially commissioned film by LA based artist Damon Packard, CCTV footage, animations, a Fassbinder Chorus Line and a Greek chorus.

This piece continues on from a series of large-scale, cinematic performances that contain science fiction themes, such as time travel and parallel universe realities. Tai Shani's work explores the structure of fiction, the cinematic memory and its corruption of innate memory as well as the relationship between
