It's Time For You To Expose Yourself in Cardiff Bay (to Art at the Wales Millennium Centre)

Remember that song by Chicago, 'Saturday in the Park'?

Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of july
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of july
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday . . .

Do you despise George Bush, but love Americans? Then get out next weekend and celebrate the Fourth of July!

And what better way to celebrate the daring spirit of America, than with new Welsh Art?

The University of Glamorgan Purchase Prize Exhibit is open to the public from 10 am until 6 pm Monday to Sunday.

Bring yourself, maybe bring a date, and if you fancy something new to hang on your walls, then bring your check book!

But either way, get out and come to Cardiff Bay and buy some Italian Ice cream while you wander among the crowds, and maybe fall in love . . .

Who knows? It could happen, even to You!

UK/2006/100 mins/18. Dir: Shane Meadows. With Thomas Turgoose, Stephen Graham, Jo Hartley.

Shane Meadows’ most accomplished film to date is set in 1983, and focuses on a lonely 12-year-old who runs into a group of skinheads, but finds himself drawn into more uncomfortable territory when an older, overtly racist gang member is released from prison.

This screening will be preceded by a 30-minute talk on current British cinema by Steve Blandford, professor of theatre and media and associate dean of the Cardiff School of Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of Glamorgan, and author of the new book 'Film, Drama and the Break-Up of Britain'.

Critics say that 'This is England' is "fizzing with energy and humour, powered by brilliantly engaging performances" -
