Jean-Luc Godard called this film the story of the 'last romantic couple'. The film is also, however, a spectacular farewell to the style and spirit of the Nouvelle Vague. On impulse Ferdinand abandons his wife and child to take off with Marianne, an old flame, on a crazy and tragic adventure involving fast cars, gangsters and a Mediterranean idyll. This is a truly romantic film but one which, in the best romantic tradition, is also deeply self-aware and at times self-mocking. Tuesday 7.30pm (doors open 6.45pm) Tickets £4.00 (£2.00 concession) Family Ticket £10.00 Theatr Gwaun, West St, Fishguard SA65 9AD 01348 873421 [email protected] www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/theatrgwaun 16:12 P Theatr Gwaun Summer programME 2009:Layout 1 10/06/2009 Wednesday 16 September Notorious (102 mins) cert U Director: Alfred Hitchcock. Starring: Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, Claud Rains and Louis Calhern. 1946. Notorious is one of Hitchcock’s most darkly romantic, disturbing and suspense laden thrillers. Ingrid Bergman is magnificent as the tough yet vulnerable Alicia Huberman, whose father is sentenced to death for treason. This leaves her determined to prove her patriotism and atone for this guilt. Cary Grant is devastating as debonair US agent Steven Devlin, who’s torn between his love for Alicia and his distrust of her. Alicia is enlisted to seduce Alex Sebastian (Claude Rains), as sophisticated German expatriate, to find out about his suspected Nazi affiliations. Madly impassioned by Alicia, Sebastian even marries her against the wishes of his tyrannical mother (Leopoldine Konstantin), and before long Alicia, Steven and Alex are entangled in a web of constrained desire and cruel deceit. Wednesday 7.30pm (doors open 6.45pm) Tickets £4.00 (£2.00 concession) Family Ticket £10.00 Thursday 17 September Badlands (94mins) cert 15 Director: Terrence Malicl Starring: Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, Warren Oates. 1973. One of the most striking cinematic debuts of all time, Terrence Malick’s Badlands is set in a sleepy South Dakota town in the late 1950s. Kit (Martin Sheen), a 25 year old garbage collector, meets Holly (Sissy Spacek), a bored high-school student ten years his junior. Struck by Kit’s resemblance to James Dean, Holly not only defies her father (Warren Oates) by starting a relationship with him, but stands by as Kit subsequently shoots her father. What ensues is a powerful and disturbing tale of young lovers on the run. ‘A masterpiece of American cinema’ ***** Empire Thursday 7.30pm (doors open 6.45pm) Tickets £4.00 (£2.00 concession) Family Ticket £10.00 Theatr Gwaun, West St, Fishguard SA65 9AD 01348 873421 [email protected] www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/theatrgwaun 16:12 P Theatr Gwaun Summer programME 2009:Layout 1 Friday 18 September 10/06/2009 Cwcw (172mins) cert tbc Director: Delyth James Starring: Eiry thomas, Rhys Richards, Aneurin Hughes.

Cox described the film as ‘visually remarkable’, while Cousins declared it as ‘pure cinema: visually alert, brilliant musically, and moving’. The film documents the small farming community in midWales, where Koppel grew up and its main theme is the degeneration of traditional rural communities and the impact of industrialisation on social harmony. The film surprises through its dedication to cinematic artistry. Through his own cinematography Koppel emphasises the importance of landscape, both to the story and the community. The imagery is hauntingly accompanied by a soundtrack from the Aphex Twin, the first time Richard James gave permission for his music to be used for an entire feature soundtrack. Saturday 7.30pm (doors open 6.45pm) Tickets £4.00 (£2.00 concession) Family Ticket £10.00 Theatr Gwaun, West St, Fishguard SA65 9AD 01348 873421 [email protected] www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/theatrgwaun 16:12 P Theatr Gwaun Summer programME 2009:Layout 1 10/06/2009 Sunday 20 September GAZWRX: The Films of Jeff Keen (tbc mins) cert tbc Director: Jeff Keen Jeff Keen's unique and imaginative filmmaking has outlived the various scenes in which it thrived: the sixties counter-culture, punk and beyond. Making work of immediate power and raw intensity on a range of film stocks, this WW2 veteran, self-taught artist and pioneer of radical British independent filmmaking continues to defy categorisation. The 12 short films in this programme, made between 1960 and 1993, reveal the astonishingly tireless talent of a unique individual not afraid to grapple with sex and war, or to experiment with visceral soundtracks and brutal animation techniques. Truly inspired and inspiring, this programme is a testament to the irrepressible force that is Jeff Keen.
