28 years later: Temple of Bones
Out now
It was hard to imagine in 2002 that 28 Days Later would produce something so different (and maybe that’s a good thing; who wants an identical sequel?). A post-apocalyptic United Kingdom is now almost unrecognizable in this film directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland, where violent tribes compete for meager resources.

Rent family
Out now
In this Japan-set drama from director Hikari, Brendan Fraser plays an actor hoping to land a decent role after appearing in a successful toothpaste commercial. He is hired by a company that provides family support for events, which leads to some unexpected real-life relationships.

Hind Rajab’s voice
Out now
Using real audio footage, this film set in Gaza depicts the death of six-year-old Hind Rajab, who was trapped on the phone for three hours in a car surrounded by six of her relatives who were killed by Israeli forces, only to be shot dead herself, after soldiers fired 335 rounds of ammunition into the car and the ambulance that had come to fetch the little girl, killing two paramedics as well.

Hong Kong Film Festival in the United Kingdom

Catherine Joseph
Oran Mor, Glasgow, January 18
Scottish singer-songwriter Katherine Joseph is signed to Mogwai’s Rock Action label, and shares her bosses’ penchant for eerie atmospheres, ever-increasing layers of synths, rumbling electronics and her gorgeous voice to unsettling effect.

Vijay Iyer
Otto Cafe, London, January 17 and 18
His piano prowess, refined intuition and cross-cultural openness made Indian-American pianist Vijay Iyer a unique presence in the jazz scene for three decades. These are solo concerts, but Iyer’s deep immersion in African American, Indian, and contemporary classical music enables him to have a panoramic view. John Fordham

Hawaii
British Museum, London, until 25 May
Stunning Hawaiian objects owned by the British Museum, including an 18th-century feathered warrior helmet and a fearsome wooden statue of a god considered one of the world’s masterpieces of sculpture, appear alongside international loans in this exhibition that tells cultural encounters between the Pacific kingdom and the British Empire.

Crossing into darkness
Carl Friedman Gallery, Margate, from Sunday to April 12
Curated by Tracey Emin, this exhibition is a somber and melancholy opening to the year. “In the middle of my life I found myself in a dark forest,” Dante wrote, and this exhibition bravely goes into that emotional forest. Goya, Monk, Bourgeois and Kiefer are among the night pilgrims.

Joseph Beuys
Thaddeus Roebuck, London, until 21 March
The great German sculptor, who served in the Luftwaffe in World War II, has continued to radicalize art through his performances and political and environmental campaigns. His legacy is a collection of objects and installations whose ancient gray materials echo the Holocaust – including deathly bathtubs.

National War Museum, Edinburgh, until 4 October
This exhibition offers an unusual look into history, seeing World War II through maps. There are handmade maps used by prisoners of war in escape attempts, as well as professionally printed and designed maps for soldiers and flyers, in a world war fought over vast areas. Jonathan Jones

Guess how much I love you?
Royal Court Theatre, London, until 21 February
Luke Norris’ intimate family drama kicks off the 70th anniversary season of The Royal Court. A pregnant couple attends their 20-week scan – and their imagined future is lost. Stars Rosie Sheehy and Robert Aramayo. Miriam Gillinson

Everything but imagination
The other venue, Stratford-upon-Avon, runs from Wednesday to February 21
Think of the raucous musical Six – but with Shakespeare. Whitney White’s two-part staging allows Lady Macbeth, Juliet, Emilia and Richard III to take the microphone to relive their stories. mg

Mike Wozniak
January 18 to November 12; The tour begins in Edinburgh
Wozniak is much likable as one-third of the cutesy geeky chat pod Three Bean Salad, and he’s also an accomplished standup. His first new show in five years revolves around a story about a bench, undoubtedly crowned with many distinctly erudite comedic shades. Rachel Aroesti

The Royal Ballet: The Works of Woolf
Royal Opera House, London, January 17 Until February 13
It’s been just over a decade since Wayne McGregor created his most ambitious and successful ballet, inspired by Virginia Woolf. Rather than recreating Woolf’s novels, MacGregor took some of their themes and techniques, particularly from Mrs. Dalloway, Orlando, and The Waves. Lindsey Winship
