As part of the UnSpooling exhibition/events Matt Wand & Ben Gwilliam will be showing for the first time ” I Married a Foley Footstep! ” a Super8 movie – live Foley Sound performance,, it’s aprox. 27 minutes long, it’s black & white and it will be first up at 7.30pm sharp.
Though the night is billed as an evening of ‘Expanded Cinema’ in fact I would describe this piece as ‘Reductionist’ & possibly ‘ ad absurdium ‘
Synopsis: The mandatory Comedy-Nihilist journey of life towards an end we all know but avoid mentioning and keep walking despite.
Influences: Many… but possibly most significantly Cleo Ubelmann’s little seen ‘Mano Destra’
Other cinematic niceness that will probably knock our modest effort for six during the evening :
Sally Golding and Kerry Laitala toy with cinematic conventions in several new expanded cinema performances,
Greg Pope’s Cipher Screen, with a live processed soundtrack performed by Lee Patterson, gets a UK debut;
and Cartune Xprez will perform a surreal blend of animation, video theatre and general psychedelic madness.
