Cork Indie Film Festival

Cork Indie Film Festival and the Contemporary Music Centre CMC came together to host this event. Curated by Tony Langlois composers were asked to create scores for silent movies. I was given Ballet Mecanique to which I performed a live twelve minute score in the former Pavillion cinema..

Ballet Mécanique (1923–24) is a Dadaist post-Cubist art film conceived, written, and co-directed by the artist Fernand Léger in collaboration with the filmmaker Dudley Murphy (with cinematographic input from Man Ray).^[1] It has a musical score by the American composer George Antheil. However, the film premiered in a silent version on 24 September 1924 at the Internationale Ausstellung neuer Theatertechnik (International Exposition for New Theater Technique) in Vienna presented by Frederick Kiesler. It is considered one of the masterpieces of early experimental filmmaking.
