TONY (18) 11.15pm

(UK 2009) dir. Gerard Johnson 76m. Digital.
Peter Ferdinando, Greg Kam, Ricky Grover, Kerryann White, Frank Boyce, Sam Kempster, George Russo, Neil Maskell, Francis Pope, Mark Mooney, Vicky Murdock, Cyrus Desir, Lorenzo Camporese, Ian Groombridge.

Tony is a socially inept, jobless loner... and a serial killer. But, as he is also clearing his rundown neighbourhood of undesirables, is Tony really a local hero who's working for everyone's benefit? An amoral pyschopath or just differently moral? With a brilliant performance by Peter Ferdinando as Tony, writer/director Gerard Johnson's strikingly designed and shot debut feature is a mordantly deadpan and wickedly funny original take on the psychological horror genre.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE (PG) 11.15pm

(US 2009) dir. Spike Jonze 101m. Digital.
Max Records, Catherine Keener, Mark Ruffalo and the voices of James Gandolfini, Paul Dano, Catherine O'Hara, Forest Whitaker, Chris Cooper, Lauren Ambrose.

A near-perfect live-action adaptation of Maurice Sendak's 1963 much loved short story about mischievous little boy Max who escapes into a world of his own imagination. His exotic fantasy island is inhabited by fabulous wild creatures whom he tricks into believing he's "the wildest thing of all." and so they make him their ruler. But Max soon discovers that ruling is not as easy as he thought. With some visually stunning special effects and spot-on characterisations, director Spike Jonze has both boldly elaborated and richly repopulated the book whilst preserving the often dark spirit and themes of the original. Rarely has the wonderment of dreaming – and the reality of waking – been so beautifully captured. A creative triumph and the year's most beguiling and magical treat.

SEX & DRUGS & ROCK & ROLL (15) 11.15pm

(UK 2010) dir. Mat Whitecross 115m. Digital.
Andy Serkis, Naomie Harris, Olivia Williams, Ray Winstone, Mackenzie Crook.

The story of Ian Dury, stricken with polio as a child and battler with alcoholism and troubled relationships as an adult but who, defying all expectations, became one of the founders of the punk-rock scene in Britain in the 1970s. Andy Serkis's superb central performance is just part of an energetic, funny, fast-moving and occasionally poignant tribute to an unforgettable music legend.

'W.O.W. Noumenon Dilation: Reduced to 3' 11.45pm

A performance by Tai Shani

This fantastical new project consists of a re-working of ‘World on a Wire', Rainer Werner Fassbinder's television adaptation of Daniel F. Galouye's science fiction novel, ‘Simulacron 3'.
To mark the dimensional, space-time shift phenomenon due to occur that night ‘W.O.W. Noumenon Dilation: Reduced to 3' is a live teleportation of Fassbinder's anti-hero from ‘The New Orpheum Theatre', a fictional cinema, to the magnificent, art deco auditorium of the Rio Cinema. Travelling through degrees of fiction and temporality, he will materialise into three time machines, three body doubles, collapsing, colliding and forever reproduced.
The performance incorporates a specially commissioned film by LA based artist Damon Packard, CCTV footage, animations, a Fassbinder Chorus Line and a Greek chorus.
This piece continues on from a series of large-scale, cinematic performances that contain science fiction themes, such as time travel and parallel universe realities. Tai Shani's work explores the structure of fiction, the cinematic memory and its corruption of innate memory as well as the relationship between

THE WHITE STRIPES: UNDER GREAT WHITE NORTHERN LIGHTS (15) 11.30pm

(US 2009) dir. Emmett Malloy 93m. Digital.
Jack White, Meg White.

Legendary American duo the White Stripes took to the road in 2007 for a tour that was as eccentric as the musicians themselves. As well as traditional venues, the band played in buses, cafes, bowling alleys and boats – even staging a performance for Indian tribal elders. Music video director Emmett Malloy spectacularly captures these extraordinary concerts, as well as the intriguing relationship between the extroverted Jack and introspective Meg White. A beautifully intriguing portrait of one of America's most enigmatic bands.

Gylve Nagell, Varg Vikernes, Jan Axel Blomberg, Kjetil Haraldstad, Olve Eikemo, Harald Nævdal, Bjarne Melgaard, Harmony Korine.

The previously unexplored realms of Norwegian black metal are discovered in this powerful documentary. This musical subculture burst onto the international scene in the early 90s with a wave of church burnings in Scandinavia that destroyed many historical landmarks. Now this meticulous documentary sheds some light on a movement that has otherwise been shrouded in darkness. The result of two years of research and filming, this is an enlightening portrait of the people behind a controversial and polarizing worldwide phenomenon.
