Control + Collapse
This screening of Under the Skin marks the first instalment under the theme Control + Collapse, a series of events, films, and sound works that examine systems under pressure, where structure, reality, and authority begin to fracture under unseen or unforeseen forces.
Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin follows an alien (Scarlett Johansson) moving through Glasgow in a van, seducing men not into companionship, but into a strange black void as part of a larger, unseen system of extraction. Adapted loosely from Michel Faber’s novel, the film keeps its logic deliberately out of reach, creating a world that feels eerie, dreamlike, and quietly disturbing.
As she moves through the city, an ominous figure known as the Motorcycle Man lingers in the background, observing and erasing traces of her existence. But after an unexpected moment of human kindness, something begins to shift. Gradually, she starts to experience empathy and a growing sense of self beyond the role she arrived to perform, blurring the boundary between alien and human.
Minimal, haunting, and hypnotic, Under the Skin is anchored by Scarlett Johansson’s extraordinary performance and Mica Levi’s unforgettable score.
This screening also features a pre-gig performance by pianist and composer Tim Funnell, whose work moves between jazz traditions and free improvisation, balancing structure and spontaneity in real time.
Tickets: £11.00
