THE FILMS

One-Minute Study of 10 Beats – Hetain Patel
The rhythms usually performed by hands on the tabla drums, aretranslated into full body movements as the torso is marked with Kanku(the red pigment traditionally used in Hindu ceremonies to mark a doton the forehead). The chanting and clapping form part of an ancientpercussive language, which in this instance, shapes the 10 beats calledJhaptaal.

Le Fil Rouge – Yasuko Tadokoro
Everyone has someone somewhere in the world, they are connected to you by an unseen red thread – will you ever find them?

Automotive Action Painting – George Barber
Observedfrom an overhead camera, a man stops by the roadside one morning andempties the contents of a number of large cans of paint over thetarmac. As the light rises, along with the level of traffic, the carsspread the paint along the surface of the road, creating an abstractsmear of vibrant colour.

One-Minute Guide to Planet Earth – Armen Antranikian
An attempt to summarise modern life on planet earth in sixty seconds.The short film received a Jury Commendation at Filminute 2007, theinternational one-minute film festival. The jury said: “How refreshingto find such a delightfully off-beat guide to a place we could all usea bit more perspective on!”

Beach Jam – Tula Parker and Anna Weatherston
A sample-heavy funk track provides the revving and screeching soundeffects for a toy car as it is ‘driven’ along a stretch of sea wall,from the ‘metropolis’ of a snow-shaker past a ‘Weekend’ tail-back oftraffic before arriving, in the wheel tracks of Thelma and Louise, in Brighton.

The Agitator

A tightly wound coil of visceral protest, The Agitator delivers his urgent instructions of uprising against a purely percussive backing. Part blues, part rap, the sum of the minimal parts fills the room without recourse for further musical distraction. The revolution is coming – get ready to get agitated.

Bonobo

Now in a comparitive flurry of activity they’re preparing for the unveiling of their fourth, Dark Blue, as well as Jason Pegg’s first solo record.
