The moribund FILM Tour 2010

The moribund FILM Tour 2010  TRAILER 
[more links to FILMS at the bottom of the page.]

I'm hoping to take 6 films across western Europe. In October and November 2010

The FILMS are a collection of short films made over the last 3 years mainly by me but also very often in close collaboration with friends and people i know who are involved in music, art and other stuff. They are not really fiction or documentary but more a mix of the two, like making stories from un-staged occurrences or staging things and then highlighting the production aspects. The FILMS are made using a mixture of photo-cameras and camcorders usually depending on the location and whether they were intentional or not. In this tour they are filmed in Hackney, where i live in London, a village called Serigo in Italy where my friend comes from, and on a holiday in Indonesia.
  
For The moribund FILM Tour there is going to be live performance/music* in some of the FILMS
AND IMPORTANTLY (when necessary) WILL BE TRANSLATED INTO 5 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES (originally 4 different languages) German, Spanish, Portuguese and French!
  
*Performances will also be in corresponding language e.g. German in Hamburg

All live performance by Tim Tim Timbirtwistle of Dick Van Timbirtwistle fame. Together the 6 FILMS create a recorded/live show that can exist as ONE SHOW (lasting aprx. 45min) or fit into an existing night of music, other films, performance, dancing, drinking, praying, most things...


ANY HELP, ANY IDEAS, ANYWHERE is massively appreciated.

The FILMS

Firestation. (9min)
This FILM documents a large red building (ex-fire headquarters) in Aldgate, London earmarked for demolition. It is filmed from the perspective of the artist James Whittingham and uses throughout music specifically composed by Will Saunders (artist and member of Poltergroom, Man Aubergine)

INDO (aprx. 15min) 
Filmed whilst 'holidaying' in Indonesia this film attempts to weave and tell a story solely through using people I met and stayed with in Kalimantan, Java and Lombok. (Much credit must go to Van Ferguson who's family feature and who through being pushed made the trip possible.)


Slides (aprx. 6min)
Made over 3 years ago in various parts of Hackney, East London, this FILM puts together photos and film and includes experimental vocals and a mixed LIVE/recorded PERFORMANCE by Dick Van Timbirtwistle using TVs. 


The Drama Workshop (aprx. 3min)
Every morning for 1 week in 2008 two non-actors undertook a self-directed drama workshop. This is a document of the success and failure of those sessions. INCLUDES SPOKEN LIVE PERFORMANCE.

Aeroplane. (aprx. 5min)
By over re-recording the story of an unclear airplane journey is retold. INCLUDES Live Performance by Tim Tim Timbirtwistle of Dick Van Timbirtwistle.

Olive Mountain (aprx. 7min)
A connection is made between the reluctant Banjo performance of Oliver Rees (MA) and the mountains of Italy. Hopefully a studio album of Rees' repertoire will be available for sale.
