London Orbital and Content on More4

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:00:32 +0000

I’ve just been told that ‘London Orbital’ will be shown on More4 next Tuesday, along with Chris Petit’s fine new essay film, ‘Content’ – which I strongly recommend. Chris is back out on the road, in the spirit of ‘Radio On’, but this time the journey is endless, space-and-time warping through the universal condition of off-highway entropy in the general direction of Poland. Nothing left of cultural memory but performed autobiographical fragments, small confessions, and a satchel of postcards (like Godard’s ‘Les Carabiniers’). This time the camera has been passed to Emma Matthews, the film’s editor, and the director becomes pure voice. Perhaps reclaiming his melancholy-poetic Irish ancestry from Samuel Beckett. The interrogation of technology, actual and faked (better than real), continues a pace (walking pace). I think this project has found its own time very successfully.

Spring season, Faster Than Sound

The first Faster Than Sound event of 2010 sees Iain Sinclair and Alan Moore undertake a journey across England, starting in Aldeburgh.

Joined by Shirley Collins, Susan Stenger, F. M. Einheit and Graham Dolphin, the duo will create a project like no other during their Aldeburgh Residency: a mapping of place in the here and now, a mixture of electronic graffiti, folk music and unique writing styles, intertwining with voices set in a haunted filmic soundscape.

Faster Than Sound is generously supported by The Paul Hamlyn Foundation

Hoffmann Building, Snape
8pm

Tickets: £10
