The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.
