Hello,
As this is a busy month, we thought we'd send you one email instead of two, so you could see what's on in both our Contemporary and Film programmes.
First, in film, we've got screenings of new work by new artists. Tomorrow night, Animate TV shows films by young British animators and a UK premiere of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's award-winning film, A Letter To Uncle Boonmee. On Friday (4 December) and Sunday (6 December), we host the last two screenings in our Harun Farocki season. On 9 December, Stephen Sutcliffe premieres his new film/collage Despair, based on the Vladimir Nabokov novel of the same name. Finally, on 11 December - in our final film event of the year - tank.tv show nine shorts from young artists, showcasing experimental film at the very cutting edge of moving image practice.
No ticket costs more than £5 (£4 concessions):

Second, in contemporary art, the next few weeks are about clashes. Art and the market, architecture and dance, capitalism and crisis and anonymity and surveillance - will they destroy one another? Can they find a peaceful accommodation? Will there be compromise or creative destruction?
On Monday 7 December, it's architect Thom Mayne clashing with choreographer Frederic Flamand in the inaugural John Edwards Lecture. On 8 December, Kojin Karatani comes up against capitalism, while on 12 December, artist Felipe Ehrenburg leads discussions in our Pop Life Symposium, which examines how art reacts to and against the market. Finally, don't forget to see work by Jill Magid, whose Level 2 Gallery exhibit was commissioned by the Dutch Secret Service and shows her using surveillance techniques against the organisation.
