MIXTAPES
Sun 29 Nov 6.00pm
Sallis Benney Theatre
Mixtapes is an ongoing project of themed film remixes, re-edits of favourite film moments in a search for hidden meanings and the creation of new work. In this screening three new mixtapes will be accompanied by specially commissioned live soundtracks.
‘Noir’ by Buck in Fudgy - Trawling the murky, metropolitan streets of classic 1940s and 1950s Crime drama this mix takes in elements of 100 Film Noirs in 24 minutes. Bent cops, femme fatales, psychotic hoodlums, gumshoe detectives, loaded guns, and whip crack dialogue. All shot on luminous, smoke-filled, monochrome city streets. Accompanied by live music from ‘The Dark Corners’.
‘Road’ by Matt Page- – From souped up Chevys racing across 60s midwest America to extistential musings across post Communist Europe this 24 minute mixtape lifts the hood on the enduring myth of the Road Movie. Live Music by Audio Bunny.
Swimming Pool by CINECITY – A splashdown of images and sounds from the chlorine scented afternoons of film history. A place where characters gather, amidst cocktails, to flirt, frolic, kiss and kill, in speedos, bikinis and birthday suits. Prepare to be dunked.
