Event Details

Teign Artists have been a varied collaborative group for a whole decade and are marking the end of their collaboration with this their final exhibition together – “Out of The Ashes …”

Teign Artists are known for working with an interesting and wide variety of creative media in fresh and exciting ways. “Out of the Ashes” will be a combination of eight artists’ work from the group; some showing retrospective, but mostly current and new work …with a glimpse of what may come next.

The eight Teign Artists exhibiting are: Rachael Bennett (landscape painting and drawing), Luci Coles (mixed media painting and sculpture ), Patricia Ferns (textiles and silk painting), Josie Gould (contemporary landscape painting and textiles), Mei Lim (photography, painting and printmaking), Elizabeth Rashley (lino prints), Ray Vyse (Digital art and Anisotropic Art), and Ben Yates (mixed 3D media ).

“Out of the Ashes” will be marked by a symbolic burning of a 14′ tall reclaimed wood sculpture by Ben Yates, held prior to the exhibition, the remnants of which will become the medium of some of the exhibited works.

Event Details

Willem Dafoe gives a magnificent, Academy Award®-nominated performance as Vincent Van Gogh in Julian Schnabel’s (The Diving Bell and The Butterfly) portrait of the famously troubled post-Impressionist artist.

Shot in the south of France, it follows Van Gogh through his difficult final years as he struggles to make a living and maintain bonds with the people in his life – including his brother Theo (Rupert Friend) and painter Paul Gauguin (Oscar Isaac). A heartfelt film, At Eternity’s Gate pushes its sympathetic imagination inside the mind of the artist to depict Van Gogh’s ecstatic creative response to the beauty of the natural world, alongside his tremendously painful sense of isolation.

“[Van Gogh is] portrayed with luminous intensity and power by Willem Dafoe” Owen Gleiberman, Variety

Event Details

Following in the cinematic footsteps of Pasolini, Jarman and Fellini, Italian writer director Alice Rohrwacher’s follow-up to her 2014 hit The Wonders is a luminous magic realist fable paralleling a modern Italy consumed by corruption and decline. Lazzaro (Adriano Tardiolo) is a beautiful peasant, whose village is ruled over by a Cruella de Vil-esque Marchesa (Nicoletta Braschi). Making unlikely friends with the Marchesa’s petulant son Tancredi, he’s convinced to help stage a dramatic incident to secure a ransom. Beautifully shot and incorporating some truly exquisite imagery, Happy as Lazzaro evokes both nostalgia for rural innocence and the melancholy of urban decay.

“This modern fairy tale is an instant classic.”
A. O. Scott, The New York Times

Event Details

At Eternity’s Gate (12A) – 2018, Switzerland / Ireland / UK / France, 111mins

Director: Julian Schnabel

Cast: Willem Dafoe, Oscar Isaac, Mads Mikkelsen, Emmanuelle Seigner, Rupert Friend, Niels Arestrup.

Earning him an Oscar® nomination, Willem Dafoe is mesmerising as Vincent van Gogh in this latest from Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly). Covering his time in Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise, we nd a complex, troubled soul who is seeking a new visual language, while also struggling to make sense of himself and his connection to those around him, including Paul Gaugain (Oscar Isaac) and a confiding priest (Mads Mikkelsen). Shot with a painter’s eye, Schnabel’s once again shows his talent for working with complex biography and the lives of artists.

“This man, much like the real one, is acutely aware of his fragilities. Yet by adamantly focusing above all else on van Gogh’s work – and its transporting ecstasies – Schnabel has made not just an exquisite film but an argument for art.” – New York Times

Doors open for fine wines and all manner of drinks at 7pm. Film at 8pm

Event Details

Jessie Buckley gives an irresistible performance in Tom Harper’s Wild Rose, the rousing, joyous story of a young Scottish woman balancing her dreams of singing stardom with the responsibilities of motherhood.

Just out of prison, with two young kids, Rose-Lynn Harlan (Buckley) is bursting with raw talent and longs to make it out of Glasgow to sing in Nashville. Her mum (Julie Walters) is at odds with her dreamer daughter, but when Rose-Lynn gets a cleaning job, she finds an unlikely champion in her new boss (Sophie Okonedo). With excellent performances all round, the film’s knockout blow is Buckley, who oozes charisma and vulnerability while singing brilliantly throughout.

“A happy-sad drama of starstruck fever that lifts you up and sweeps you along, touching you down in a puddle of well-earned tears.” Tom Harper, Variety
