Different Take Cinema

Presents 

Performance

Starring James Fox , Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg

Friday 17th September 7.30pm

Madcap and Make a Difference  are pleased to announce an exciting new venture in film - "Different Take Cinema" and we shall be offering just that - regular film screenings of many exciting, thought provoking and thoroughly good films in the coming weeks and months. There will Q & A sessions on certain films as well as  workshops and discussions on many aspects of film. We are also linking with the prestigious OXDOX Film Festival.
 
To kick off this exciting venture to raise film and film making in Milton Keynes we shall be presenting the controverisal film "Performance". Banned at the time by the actual studio backers when they saw the director's cut because of its sexual explicitness and drug taking, attempts were made to destroy the negative.  Starring James Fox , Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg and made by Nicholas Roeg and Donald Cammell in 1968, but not released until 1970, "Performance" is one of the most extraordinary of British films and has since achieved cult status. It meshes the worlds of street gangsters and rock music together and questions sexuality and identity. It is perhaps the most provocative film you will ever see.
 
 
18 Certificate .This film is not suitable for under 18s as it contains strong violence, scenes of a sexual nature and explicit drug use.
 
There will be a discussion after the showing led by Rosemary Hill - tutor for AS Film Studies at ACE.
 
Friday 17th September 7.30pm Madcap Theatre, Wolverton
 
Tickets £6.00.  You are advised to book early

Friday 24th Sept


British trombone star Dennis Rollins is

Jazz@TheCap are thrilled to have Dennis Rollins along to play with a favourite of Jazz@TheCap, the lively local jazz funksters The Bag Ladies.

Ably supporting them will be The Mark Wheeler Trio playing a selection of jazz and soul grooves.

This should be the funkiest night of jazz so far.
