This week's film events previews

Investigative Film Week, London If your idea of investigative journalism is uncovering the truth about Brangelina's break-up, perhaps it's time to re-evaluate with a visit to this fascinating week-long festival. Each of the six films showing is followed by a Q&A with the director, and leading the pack is Günter Wallraff, whose latest, Black On White, sees him donning blackface to expose racism in Germany. There's also Afghanistan: On The Dollar Trail, a dangerous study of where aid money really goes, and a film that will make you think twice the next time you pour a cuppa, Flip The Coin: The Bitter Taste of Tea, which probes the dichotomy between the corporations who provide tea for the west and the poverty-stricken people who pick it for them. City University, EC1, Tue to 6 Feb, visit tcij.org Andrea Hubert Oil City Confidential, London & nationwide Having done the Sex Pistols and the Clash, Julien Temple's latest rockumentary focuses on the more obscure but equally dangerous Doctor Feelgood, the Canvey Island pub rockers whose manic energy paved the way for punk. True to their roots, the film's premiere is a gig at Camden's Koko this Tuesday. After an intro by Temple and Keith Allen and a screening of the film, Feelgoods stalwart Wilko Johnson will take to the stage with guests including Alison Moyet. The whole affair will be broadcast live at 40 cinemas across the country. Various venues, Tue, visit oilcityconfidential.com Steve Rose Deep Desires And Broken Dreams, London The New Queer Cinema movement that began in the early-90s, spawned by a community still reeling from the Aids crisis, began a representation of gay men in movies that was to become, by degrees, aggressive, positive, and, above all, a direct challenge to the idea that heterosexuality was the norm. The results are presented here: a diverse mixture of American and European films exploring sexuality, including the hugely anticipated Hollywood Je T'Aime, which bridges the two continents, and Shank, a Noel Clarke-produced urban drama in which a gang member must confront his feelings for a handsome new boy. There's also the compelling Give Me Your Hand, in which sexual encounters threaten the relationship between twins. And for historical perspective, don't miss the landmark 1961 film Victim, which vividly explores less tolerant times (and was instrumental in changing the laws banning homosexuality). Riverside Studios, W6, Wed to 8 Feb Andrea Hubert Future Film Festival, London With our film industry crumbling before our eyes, this festival aiming to develop film-making skills in 13 to 25-year-olds is more important than ever. You can't get on-the-job training when there are no jobs to be had, so here aspiring film-makers can meet like-minded souls and attend all sorts of seminars, workshops and talks on topics such as scoring a film, green screen, editing, even hosting your own film festival. For further inspiration there are free screenings, including special previews of Tom Harper's The Scouting Book For Boys and Philip Ridley's Heartless. Cast and crew from both films will be holding Q&As, proving that, at least in the film world, those who can, can also teach. BFI Southbank, SE1, Fri to 7 Feb Phelim O'Neill
