South:
A Journey in Super 8

Friday 22 March
6.30-7pm, Admission free

To mark the final evening of Flicker: Artists and Super 8 we present a live performance by Chris Mizsak and Tony Scott from Bell Art Laboratories. South uses live spoken word, sound and Super 8 projections to tell the story of two characters, a saint and a biker, who travel through different landscapes and time scales, eventually reaching the same destination.  Shot and edited entirely on Super 8mm, the work is presented as a triptych of three projected films, exploring the perspectives of the two characters within the landscape itself.

Sunday 10th of March 2013 at 1:30pm at Abbeygate Picturehouse (Bury St Edmunds)

Smiths Row and the Cambridge Super 8 Group in association with Abbeygate Picturehouse in Bury St Edmunds near Cambridge will present a new work by Swiss art-collective MOBILESKINO.

La Tête Infernale is a film installation that celebrates the early cinema trickery of French pioneer Georges Méliès. In the tradition of the Kinetoscope,  viewers can look inside a peephole and see a 3D effect moving-image of Méliès’ head preserved in a glass bottle. The illusion is created  entirely with 19th century stage magic tricks and Super 8 film; and without the use of CGI or any hidden digital components.

MOBILESKINO is a collective of artists, animators, film-technicians and sound designers. The group’s projects occupy the space between digital and analogue media. Conducting research in the field of interactive environments, the group combines mechanical and electronic technologies to build art machines and installations.

Méliès was an illusionist and pioneer in early cinema special effects such as the ‘stop trick’ and hand colouring. His most famous film A Trip to the Moon (1902) is regarded as the first science fiction movie.
