Five of Melbourne's best experimental acts have organised for you the opportunity to see them play new soundtracks live to the films of Maya Deren. Maya Deren was the first lady of avant-garde film making in the 1940's and 1950's, not only a filmmaker in her own right but also collaborating with the likes of Marcel Duchamp and Antony Tudor - further details here. Her films are a wonderfully textured and moodily lit black and white and deal with themes such as ritual, movement, violence and beauty. Occult Blood, Rottuer, Siilt, Electronic Shaman and Abre Ojos will play their own unique soundtracks to her films, including improvisations between Occult Blood and Rotteur, - Sillt, Electronic Shaman and Abre Ojos.
Films: Occult Blood: At Land, Rotteur: Ritual in Transfigured Time, Electronic Shaman: Meshes of The Afternoon, Siilt: Meditation on Violence, Abre Ojos: The Very Eye of Night
