3. People Make Television : 28 January to 26 March 2023
Raven Row re-opens after a five-year hiatus with an exhibition of DIY television from the 1970s. Remarkably, much of this emerged from a fringe department of the BBC – the Community Programme Unit (CPU). Set up in 1972, the CPU provided a camera crew and studio, and handed over complete editorial control, to groups and individuals with ‘voices, attitudes and opinions’ hitherto ‘unheard or seriously neglected’, so they could make their own programmes.
At Raven Row, visitors can browse the vast array of material in an installation designed by Jones Neville, select programmes from sofas and armchairs, and explore the archive in a mediatheque.
People Make Television is curated by Lori E. Allen, William Fowler, Matthew Harle and Alex Sainsbury.

6. HONEYLAND Screening
DATE: 02 Feb 2023, Time: 19:45, Venue: DUGDALE ARTS CENTRE
Price: £6.50
Age Guidance: 12A
SYNOPSIS
Honeyland, a miraculous feat, shot over three years, began life as a nature conservation video. It follows the life of Hatidze, an amazing middle-aged woman, who lives with her ailing mother in an otherwise abandoned village in the mountains of North Macedonia and harvests honey in the traditional way from wild hives. Serendipitously for the directors, a large itinerant family moves in next door mid-shoot and the film becomes a parable about sustainability versus the unthinking exploitation of natural resources.
A beekeeper’s life with a sting in the tale.

7. Saint Omer + Q&A, 122 mins
Venue: Ciné Lumière, Date & time: Fri 3 Feb, 6:45pm
Price: £13.00
NEW RELEASES, SPECIAL SCREENINGS : Women Shaping The World
FRA | 2022 | dir. Alice Diop, with Kayije Kagame, Guslagie Malanda, Valérie Dréville ; in French with EN subtitles
Acclaimed at the Venice Film Festival where it won the Silver Lion, the Best Debut Film Award (Luigi De Laurentiis Award) and the Edipo Re Award, documentarian Alice Diop’s stunning narrative debut Saint Omer is France’s entry at the 2023 Academy Awards. A young novelist confronts personal trauma as she observes the trial of a woman accused of infanticide. Loosely inspired by a real court case where a mother abandoned her baby to the rising tides on a beach; Saint Omer is a finely observed drama which stylishly probes the unspeakable.

9. News from Home + intro
Friday 17 February 2023 18:20, NFT3
Ackerman’s beautifully tender portrait of separation in 1976 New York.
- DirectorChantal Akerman
- Belgium-France-West Germany 1976. 85min
- Digital
Chantal Akerman and cinematographer Babette Mangolte’s meeting in New York began a friendship and a collaboration that would see them return to the city after the success of Jeanne Dielman. Like that film, Mangolte’s style here compellingly comprises long and mostly static shots. Capturing Manhattan throughout the day and night, accompanied by Akerman’s reading of her mother’s letters to her, News from Home encapsulates the sense of loneliness and dislocation the filmmaker experienced when living in the city. It’s a tender portrait of the silence that emotional and geographical distance can create.
