“It’s mostly about telling a story…”

For the press release of their new season, the Sainsbury Centre was full of an array of people. Many of the artists themselves attended, so we could hear the inspirations behind the art. This season is named ‘What is the meaning of life?’ The main focus of the day was on ‘Joy like Time’, an exhibition showcasing the work of three artists. Kalliopi Lemos, Marina Abramovic and Gillian wearing considered how time shapes meaning in human life, and how personal everyone’s perception of life is.  The Director of the Sainsbury Centre, Jago Cooper, said: Joy like time invites us to consider how art can provide a time portal through which to compare different aspects of our lives because artworks themselves exist in a different time.”

I’ve never seen a movie that can jump between comedy and grounded realism with such ease and respect. ..... There is real, genuine importance in this movie. Even after becoming properly engrossed in these characters and the themes present in the movie, I keep on thinking that there are deeper meanings that will register with me on a rewatch.

I know I've said it before, but it can't be understated how rare it is to see a brave new fledgling sitcom appear - never mind locally! I have to mention that the soundtrack to the episode was entirely original, which is unbelievably impressive for a project such as this. The leaflet I was given prior to the screening said that the pilot promised to be ‘bold, vibrant and entertaining’ - and that's absolutely what it is. That sums it up pretty well. There's a lot to be proud of here. I can't wait to say ‘I knew them when' years down the line.
