XXY (16)
>From the opening credits, with their blueish-green palette and beautiful animation of organisms we can't quite identify, we are captivated by this film s world of secrets. On its surface, XXY winner of the Cannes International Critics' Week Grand Prize bears the hallmarks of a traditional family drama. 15-year-old Alex is struggling with mood swings, parental constraints and teenage crushes. However, all is not quite as it seems. Her parents relocated from Buenos Aires to a remote coastal area of Uruguay when Alex was born with a genital ambiguity, to protect their precious child. But noble intentions are thwarted by Alex's blossoming sexuality, and she and her parents are increasingly pressured to choose whether she will live as a boy or a girl.

My Kid Could Paint That (Club)
In 2004, Marla Olmstead was a sweet little 4-year-old girl in Binghamton, New York, in the US, who appeared to have an extraordinary talent for abstract art. Little Marla's big, ambitious, swirling canvases were exhibited at a nearby coffee shop, and people were actually buying them. The media picked up on the story and soon Marla's paintings were selling for five-figure sums; she had become the modern art world's sensational child prodigy. However, CBS's news programme 60 Minutes broadcast a TV Special brutally accusing her parents of fraud - and almost abuse. A child psychologist acidly comments on live video footage of Marla painting and notes how she is being directed and coached off-camera by her father, and how in any case the exhibited paintings are, suspiciously, far more accomplished than anything Marla looked to be heading towards, unaided. The programme offered the parents no right of reply, and they were understandably traumatised.

An Anthology of Others - video works and video installations by Wexford artist Michael Fortune
Fri 5 Sept - Sat 25 Oct
For this show Fortune has installed a body of work, which explores the circumstantial boundaries between art and culture, folklore and interpretation and fact and fiction. Through a variety of techniques and approaches, he uses the video camera as a tool to decode and re-code these activities, and by doing so exposes the areas where their boundaries overlap and collide. His video works are not scripted or storyboarded, instead he generates material out of the relationships and experiences he develops with the people and circumstances he encounters.
