Wicked Problems and Reasons for Hope (12 +) BOOK WEEK SCOTLAND

 In our annual Book Week Scotland event, poet JoAnne McKay will draw on her current reading to explore how museums, and archaeology, are going to be tools for dealing with the climate crisis, and how past strategies and technologies may be needed to assist with our future. Combining readings from Reinventing Sustainability (Guttman-Bond) and Museums and Societal Collapse (Robert Janes) along with her own poetry, JoAnne will offer a unique insight into this fascinating topic.

 JoAnne has selected the documentary Jane Goodall - Reasons for Hope (Dir David Lickle, 2023, 45 mins). Drawing on decades of work by the world’s most famous living ethologist and environmentalist, Reasons for Hope, is an uplifting journey around the globe to highlight good news stories that will inspire people to make a difference in the world around them.

Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (15)

The greatest film of all time and the greatest film about time and voted Sight and Sound’s Greatest Films of All Time in the 2022 Critics’ poll (the first time a female filmmaker has taken the number one spot since the poll’s inception in 1952).

Heralded by Le Monde in January 1976 as “the first masterpiece of the feminine in the history of the cinema”, Chantal Akerman’s landmark second feature, the mesmerising Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles follows the meticulous daily routine of its titular lead over the course of three days. Presented at the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes in 1975, the film brought the then 24-year-old Akerman international recognition. A cornerstone of feminist cinema, Chantal Akerman’s cinematically radical film challenged the status quo when it was originally released and continues to do so today.
