Cinema into the Real - Scoring Lazarist (Steven Eastwood)
A specific film space will be constructed on the Lazarist festival site. When passers-by enter that space, lighting and a range of looped film score moments are triggered. Seering violins (think of 'Vertigo') might accompany a couple embracing; brooding horns and percussion become a backdrop to a man who sits on the steps... Audience members unwittingly become implicated in cinematic incidents, or in a narrative frame. The piece draws attention to how we refer to cinema in describing the events in our lives. It foregrounds how the everyday can be viewed as a set of narrative exchanges and recollections, or as a series of roles played out. Cinema then becomes a model for a real in which all is performance and everywhere is a set.

JIGOKU
Jigoku (the Japanese term for hell) is an extreme, chaotic audio visual soundtrack session created by East End London DJ Lovely Jon, whereby deep, dark movie music is cut up alongside wild footage from weird and obscure exploitation flicks in perfect timing. Originally starting life in the early 901s as a celebration of strange cinema and a reaction against mellow chill out music in the backrooms of raves (freaking out all the clubbers trying to relax or 'come down') Jigoku has forged on, working alongside art/cinema pranksters OMSK in pre-famous Hoxton and Italian soundtrack legend Alessandro Alessandroni for two sell-out shows at London1s Institute of Contemporary Arts.

Location: Strange Screen Festival - Monilazaristo, Thesaloniki, Greece
