The film program brings together rarely screened early collaborations between Delia Derbyshire, Madelon Hooykaas, Anthony Roland, and Elsa Stansfield: Circle of Light (1972), Daydreams (1972), One of These Days (1973), About Bridges (1975), and Moving (1975). In these works, images and sounds drift between the everyday and the imaginary. Field recordings dissolve into electronic textures and voices echo against urban landscapes and domestic settings. Layered rhythms emerge through their interplay that can be heard as much as seen and felt. At the transition from film to video, these works from the 1970s convey a special sensibility for shared experimentation in the pursuit of new audiovisual languages.
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.
