This movie chronicles the life of Ted Bundy, considered to be one of the most cold-hearted murderers in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Liz (Lily Collins) thinks she has found the man of her dreams in the form of Bundy (Zac Efron). When he is arrested on alleged kidnapping charges, Liz still believes he is innocent. In the years to come, Bundy is linked to other multiple murders and Liz’s life is turned upside down. The movie focuses on how she was manipulated by a seemingly adoring boyfriend. The movie is now screening. At the movies: Greta

As the two women get closer, something sinister about Greta becomes apparent and what happens next is a series of psychological games.

TopographiesTopographies is a solo exhibition by Jason Lim displaying his body of work, which covers ceramic art, photography, video, installation and performance art. Lim came up with the idea last August during his 10-day residency in Kjerringøy, a northern village in the Bodø Municipality in Norway. The programme was part of the sixth edition of Kjerringøy Land Art Biennale, which invited 12 international artists to showcase their site-specific, nature-altering works developed during the residency. Topographies features Lim’s use of his body as a prop to showcase natural materials found along Kjerringøy’s unique coastal-alpine landscape.
