WHERE Jarman Square
Early evening on Sunday, the Jarman Square will host live scores to silent short films. For three, 20 minutes slots, films will be projected across a wall of the Jarman Building, with a grand piano accompaniment played by pianist Sam Bailey. The programme features:
La Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip To The Moon): George Mielies’ seminal 1902 film. Widely regarded as the earliest example of the Science Fiction genre, it is also considered one of the most influential films in cinema history, inspiring a broad spectrum of celebrated artists, from Martin Scorsese to the Smashing Pumpkins.
Meshes of the Afternoon: An avant-garde masterpiece directed by wife-and-husband team, Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid in 1943. This dreamlike (or perhaps nightmarish) feminist classic explores the interior image of the female protagonist. An acknowledged pre-cursor to the work of David Lynch and Stan Brakhage.
