Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
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.
