UNTIL JANUARY 20 Shifting Context The Shifting Context exhi- bition was curated through an open call for young art- ists by Aġenzija Żgħażagħ.

UNTIL JANUARY 27 Vanishing Valletta In 1982 artist photographer David Pisani embarked on a personal project to docu- ment the city of Valletta and the surrounding harbour area with an emphasis on the socially deprived periphery of Valletta and the infamous red light district of Strait Street which he regularly frequented. What started as a photo essay of the der- elict buildings of the city and the dwindling activity in Strait Street would evolve into an epic documenta- tion of Valletta spanning 29 years. All the photographs in this collection are fine art silver gelatin printed from the original negatives by the photographer. UNTIL FEBRUARY 28 The Immortals of a City The Immortals of a City showcases 51 selected pho- tos from the vast quantity of works, these photos are not objective records of the sculptures, but rather stun- ning reinventions inspired by lots of reading and ref lection on historical documents. The exhibition seeks to convey the inf luence and charm of European public artworks, by representing sculptures of European cities through photography, offering visi- tors an extraordinary taste of glimpses captured in these European cities, and inviting one to ref lect on life and mo- ments of history while pro- gressing toward the future. It has been exhibited in Beijing, Qingdao, Tianjin and other places in China, meeting with profound appreciation and interest in the historical, cultural and exotic diversity of the urban carvings, espe- cially by many who have nev- er been to Europe. maltatoday | SUNDAY • 13 JANUARY 2019 LISTINGS WHAT'S ON Eden Cinema St Julian's Tel. 23 710400 Johnny English Strikes Again (U) 14:15, 16:20, 18:45, 20:55 Bohemian Rhapsody (12A) 14:30, 18:00, 21:00 The Grinch (U) 11:20, 14:10, 16:15 Robin Hood (12A) 14:00, 16:25, 18:50, 21:15 Wreck It Ralph 2 (U) 10:45, 14:05, 16:30 Creed 2 (12A) 14:30, 17:50, 20:30 Let's Read Together (U) 10:00 Aquaman (2D) 14:15, 17:30, 20:30, 23:30 Spider-man: Into the Spider- verse (U) 10:55, 13:35, 16:05, 18:35, 21:05, 23:40 Mary Poppins Returns (U) 10:25, 13:00, 15:40, 18:20, 21:05, 23:45 Bumblebee (12A) 11:20, 13:50, 18:40, 23:40 Bumblebee (3D) (12A) 16:25, 21:10 Holmes and Watson (12A) 18:30, 20:45 Tulip Fever 18:55, 21:05 The Favourite (15) 13:30, 16:05, 18:30, 21:05, 23:35 Welcome to Marwen (12A) 10:55, 13:35, 16:10, 18:40, 21:10, 23:40 Stan & Ollie (U) 14:05, 16:20, 18:40, 20:50, 23:15 Embassy Cinemas Valletta Tel. 21 227436, 21 245818 Mary Poppins Returns (U) 10:05, 13:00, 15:45, 18:30, 21:15 Aquaman (12A) 14:30, 17:45, 20:45 Creed 2 (12A) 10:25, 14:30, 18:00, 20:50 Bohemian Rhapsody (12A) 14:15, 17:30, 20:30 The Grinch (U) 10:00, 12:10, 14;20, 16:30, 18:40 Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (12A) 21:00 Creed 2 (12A) 10:25, 14:30, 18:00, 21:00 Bumblebee (12A) 10:35, 13:30, 16:00, 18:30, 21:00 Valletta Living History (U) 10:00, 10:45, 11:30, 12:15, 13:00, 13:45 Empire Cinemas Bugibba Tel. 21 581787, 21 581909 Bohemian Rhapsody (12A) 10:15, 15:25, 18:15, 21:10 The Grinch (U) 11:15, 13:45, 16:00 Creed II (12A) 18:30, 21:15 Mary Poppins Returns (U) 11:00, 14:00, 18:15, 21:00 Aquaman 3D (12A) 21:10 Aquaman (12A) 11:00, 14:00, 18:15 Bumblebee (12A) 10:45, 13:35, 16:05, 18:35, 21:05 Tulip Fever (15) 11:05, 13:20, 15:45, 18:30, 20:50 Stan & Ollie (U) 11:05, 13:15, 16:05, 18:35, 20:50 CINEMA
