 Hull Film, in association with Seeds And Bridges, will return on Thursday 19th April with FEEDBACK: VISUAL HOWL AND REFLEXIVE MUSIC a dynamic series of short films to be screened at Hull Screen.
With Jimi Hendrix and the early soundtracks of Dr Who being the best some of the best known examples of the creative use of feedback, the programme will focus on the conceptual and expressive qualities of feedback with a number of short films and a live performance.
Highlights will include NOTES ON A LINE (David Leister, UK, 1987) which sees musicians Aleks Kolkowski and Alex Maguire recorded on film playing live to a silent film of themselves playing as image and music progressively overlap until they act as one and WHAT IS SOUL? (David Blandy, UK, 2002) which sees the director give an impassioned rendition of the soul classic, even though we only hear Ben E King singing.
The programme will also see the live PERFORMANCE (Pete McPartlan UK 2007 20 mins) in which McPartlan will utilise the electrical processes integral to analogue video players, TVs and tape-recorders to combine and interlock sound and vision.
Rob Gawthrop, the programmer of FEEDBACK: VISUAL HOWL AND REFLEXIVE MUSIC said: "The convergence of sound and image has always been fascinating and this programme will give the audience the opportunity to experience noise, jokes, music, the abstract and the conceptual. We're looking forward to some interesting audience feedback."
FEEDBACK: VISUAL HOWL AND REFLEXIVE MUSIC will take place on Thursday 19th April from 7.30pm at Hull Screen, University Of Lincoln, George Street, Hull, HU1 3BW. Tickets are £5 / £4 concs and are available on the door or via box office on 01482 327600. Apex tickets priced £4.50/£3.50 cons are available up until 4pm on the day of the performance
