Serena Partridge - new work

Serena Partridge makes fantastical miniature pieces of attire inspired by a passion for European costume dating back some six hundred years. These tiny pieces form an imagined costume collection which creates a decadent foil to the rural exhibits of the Ryedale Folk Museum. Serena’s particular interest is for the flamboyant fashions paraded by the wealthy élite, such as sixteenth century Venetian platform shoes rising to heights of twenty inches or the superfluous coiffures worn by Marie Antoinette. Although her works contain strong references to the past, Serena is not concerned with producing historically accurate replicas and classes her art as ‘sculptural textiles’.

Poulenc’s riveting one-woman opera, the result of his longstanding collaboration with Jean Cocteau, is famous for its emotional power and a virtuoso tour de force for the very few singers who attempt it. Yorkshire-born soprano Claire Booth has made the role her own and performed it to critical acclaim

Florestan and Eusebius - Spring Song (Ryedale Festival)

The girl with the dragon tattoo (film)

Appleton-le-Moor film sciety presents a strong contender for thriller of the year. Unfolding with an unusually unhurried grace, its chilly tension is of a finely judged, slow-burning quality that does not rely on cheap scare tactics to hook the viewer. The story of how hacker Lisbeth Salander comes to collaborate with disgraced investigative journalist Michael Blomkvist on a long-unsolved murder case is a satisfyingly obscure mystery taking in far right sympathisers, misogyny and financial fraud on a grand scale.

The white ribbon (film)

With The White Ribbon, director Michael Haneke has out-done himself and produced the best film of his career, a tightly-wound, fully-fleshed and thoroughly mesmerizing drama set in a north German village during 1913 and 1914. It depicts a tightly-knit aristocratic estate in which everyone, from the local pastor and doctor to toiling Polish migrant labourers, knows their place. This brings them stability and food on the table. On the surface everything is fine. Then, as is so often the case in Haneke's films, a small incident disrupts the calm, exposes that calmness as illusory.

Tales from the golden age (film)

A portmanteau collection of cine-sketches about life under their hated regime – bulging with scorn, surrealism and gallows humour. Mungiu is the sole screenwriter, but he has partly sub-contracted the directing to a group of other film-makers: Ioana Uricaru, Hanno Höfer and Constantin Popescu. The stories are purportedly based on urban myths: rumours of the farcical absurdities that Romanians suffered under the communist rule.

The secret in their eyes (film)

There's something about a haunting mystery being solved by a haunted mind that's particularly seductive. That's just one of the many pleasures of "The Secret in Their Eyes," whose string of knots challenges and charms in a way that make its win of the 2010 foreign-language Oscar perfectly understandable.

Just another love story (film)

This engrossing Danish thriller is like the 1995 Sandra Bullock vehicle While You Were Sleeping merged with Festen and turned into a film noir. In this case, Copenhagen scene-of-the-crime police photographer Jonas (the excellent Anders W Berthelsen, star of several Dogme films) visits a hospital to inquire about a car-crash victim, Julia, for whose injury he feels responsible, and is mistaken by her wealthy family for Sebastian, the lover she's met in Hanoi and may have killed.
