Tonight We Go A-Gleaning
13 Jan 2011, 20:00
Roxy Bar & Screen
Tickets are £4 and will be available on the door only.
An evening of recent artists’ films using moving image archives, featuring the London premiere of the Gleaners project, commissioned by Abandon Normal Devices.
Experimental filmmakers Jenna Collins and Sam Meech present two new kaleidoscopic short films, made during residencies in the North West Film Archive at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Diving into the amateur fiction footage, Jenna Collins arrives at a new film that focuses on accent, atmosphere and what might be just over the North West horizon.
Meanwhile, building up a classic narrative with a dream-inflected twist, Sam Meech’s epic collage will be narrated live by poet Nathan Jones of the Mercy Collective, with a score by Carl Brown of Wave Machines.
An accompanying programme of short films will expand on the spectrum of artistic approaches to mixing found footage with electric results, including films from Jordan Baseman, Sarah Wood and Dave Griffiths.
Curated by Kate Taylor.
