National Gallery- Kids CineClub. “Fly Away home”

 

The National Gallery- weekly bulleting 9th of July 2012

Last of the series! CineClub FILM EXHIBITION: Roman Polanski   Carnage Monday 9th July 7:00pm Two pairs of parents hold a cordial meeting after their sons are involved in a fight, though as their time together progresses, increasingly childish behavior throws the evening into chaos.     Roman Polanski (b. Paris, 1933) has, over the course of a half century, become recognised as one of the great modern masters of the cinema. Many of his films are infused with a mysterious, difficult-to-define sense of dread, which is understandable given much of his early life experience.  His view of the world as something menacing is present from his debut feature, Knife in the Water (1962), through his award-winning The Ghost Writer (2010). And yet the depth of feeling in his Oscar-winning Holocaust film The Pianist speaks for itself. Like Alfred Hitchcock, who is in some sense Polanski’s stylistic mentor, the threat of chaos is always overlaid with wryly absurdist, dark humor-and frequently a triumphant humanism.   This screening is the last one of the series.     Email education@nationalgallery.org.ky or call 945-8111     New! CineClub for Kids  $3/child aged 3+    The films in this series are selected for their quality and originality. In this creative environment of the National Gallery, short films, innovative fictions, animation classics are screened. Parents who wish to attend the screenings are also welcome! Please note that children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.    Kirikou Tuesday 10th July 3:00pm This animated film exquisitely recounts the tale of tiny Kirikou – a clever, courageous little boy born in an African village in which Karaba the Sorceress has placed a terrible curse. Kirikou depicts a precocious newborn infant who battles ignorance, and so-called evil, with endearing perseverance. This film speaks to the child within us all who yearns to express and defend the best in others and ourselves. Kirikou’s stunning visuals are accented by a traditional music soundtrack by African music giant Youssou N’ Dour.    Language: French, subtitles: English   Parental Guidance: the film contains several instances of non-sexual female and male nudity to a lesser extent, as would be the norm in pre-colonial Africa. However, this was controversial enough to delay the film’s US release until 2002.   This film has won 8 awards, including The Best Animation Film and The Best European Feature Film.      Email education@nationalgallery.org.ky or call 945-8111      Sister Islands Courses       Cayman Brac Outdoor Painting Saturday 7th July   9:00am to 10:00am     Residents and visitors are invited to enjoy this plein air class at Divi Tiara pond cabana, South Side, Cayman Brac*. Free for residents or $10 for visitors.    *In bad weather the class will be held on the patio of the Alexander Hotel.       Cayman Brac CineClub Cyrano de Bergerac Saturday 7th July 7:00pm to 9:00pm   A dashing officer of the guard and romantic poet, Cyrano de Bergerac falls in love with his distant cousin Roxane. Embarrassed by his large nose he believes that Roxane will reject him so he resorts to writing letters to her on behalf of one of his cadets, Christian, who is also in love with Roxane but just doesn’t know how to tell her. She falls for the poetic charm of the letters but believes that they were written by Christian.      For more information on  Sister Islands Programming contact Simone Scott on 939-5306 or email    sisterislands@nationalgallery.org.ky     Starting soon!

Students gain valuable learning experiences in an arts organisation. Work experience placements typically last one to two weeks depending on each school. This programme is generously supported by State Street.

Voluntary Work

If the above programmes don’t quite fit with your needs, for example due to timings, we’d still love to hear from you. We couldn’t manage without the help of our keen and dedicated volunteers and we’re always looking for new people to help out. If you’d like to sign up please visit our volunteer page for more information.

In addition to the formalised programmes detailed above, we offer short term, ad-hoc opportunities (one or two days) during the summer months for younger children. These opportunities provide youngsters with some valuable work experience and also give them an insight into the world of work.

For further information about these short term opportunities please contact Julia on administration@nationalgallery.org.ky

Financial Assistance

In accordance with our mission to educate and serve the entire community, the National Gallery welcomes people of all ages and abilities to learn about the many aspects of contemporary art through our education programmes.

To support those who would not otherwise be able to attend our programmes, due to financial limitations, assistance is offered to adults and children who wish to take part.
