The film program brings together rarely screened early collaborations between Delia Derbyshire, Madelon Hooykaas, Elsa Stansfield, and Anthony Roland: Circle of Light (1972), Daydreams (1972), One of These Days (1973), About Bridges (1975), and Moving (1975). At the transition from film to video, these works from the early 1970s convey a special sensibility for shared experimentation in the pursuit of new audiovisual languages. Images and sounds drift between they everyday and the imaginary, field recordings dissolve into electronic textures, and off-screen voices mediate between the here and the beyond.
The films and videos will be presented in an installation setting on FFT's Stage II on Thursday, November 27 from 6-11pm.
Madelon Hooykaas will be present for an artist talk at 9pm, where the film and concert program resonate with one another.
