Wicker
"Wicker" takes basket weaving to a whole new level.
“Wicker” is simultaneously a sweet, gently moving love story and audacious comedic fable about sex, marriage, and the absurdities of social convention. Directed and adapted by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson from the short story "The Wicker Husband" by Ursula Wills-Jones.
On the outskirts of a village by the sea, lives a Fisherwoman (Olivia Colman); smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbours, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker (embodied by Alexander Skarsgård). In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos.

Exhibition On Screen: James McNeill Whistler
In an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet. Boldly experimental and famously witty, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music, and entitled many of his paintings “arrangements”, “harmonies” and “nocturnes”, emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony in his work.
Exhibition on Screen will bring these stunning works and the incredible story behind them to cinemas around the world while the exhibition is still running, bringing this truly global artist to a global audience.
