Timestalker (15)
Dir. Alice Lowe, UK, 2024, 96 mins. Cast. Alice Lowe, Aneurin Barnard, Jacob Anderson, Nick Frost, Kate Dickie.
Agnes has lived many lives, in 1680s Scotland, in 1790s England, in 1840s Britain, in 1980s New York, and more. And in every life, she meets the one man whom she is destined to be with — but just as they are meeting, something dreadful happens and she dies. Until she meets him again in the next life. Could it be that he is not the perfect match after all? While its title may sound like a 1980s action sci-fi — and there is a good deal of that vibe here — Timestalker is actually a darkly funny, emotionally insightful time-travel comedy drama about a woman determinedly pursuing the supposed love of her life throughout history.
Alice Lowe’s miraculous second feature is a triumph of imagination, soul-searching and a refined comic instinct – Little White Lies

The 6pm screening on Tuesday 29 October will be preceded by a short film from the Artist Moving Image Programme “Moving Waters”:
The Stream X (Hiroya Sakurai, 6 minutes 53)
Episode 10 of The Stream is an experiment in which environmental sound in the water is replaced with environmental sound from outside the waterway. As a result, the viewer experiences the sound of the wind as an underwater environmental sound. The wind moves the aquatic plants and pushes along objects floating on the water. The artist’s purpose was to use the expression of the wind as a metaphor for the stream and to impress the viewer with the liveliness of water, which is the theme of this work.
Hiroya was born in Yokohama, Japan and graduated from University of Tsukuba. Emeritus Professor, Seian University of Art and Design. Sakurai’s work can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada and J.Paul Getty Trust.
