A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
This programme is a celebration of Charlemagne Palestine; passionate, extravagant, visceral. Including two sections from Ritual dans le Vide, an extension of his ‘running camera’ works of the 70’s and Pip Chodorov’s vibrant workout of a live version of Strumming Music.
