The portrayal of science can often take the form of a sober lecture or museum exhibit, and yet via the medium of film, the representation can transcend the straightforward educational realm and focus on the mind boggling, and truly aesthetic qualities. This programme of left field shorts - often startling in their depiction - explores a range of science and technology subjects, frequently accompanied by electronic and experimental sounds.
For this tenth in the series of Synch Pulse events, Ian Helliwell will present a selection of films together with a special technology themed dance performance featuring a new electronic music soundtrack.
About Synch Pulse
Dedicated to screening short experimental films, Synch Pulse features a themed selection delving into the archives to show vintage and contemporary work, with a strong emphasis on electronic and experimental music soundtracks. Designed as a free entry, monthly get-together for the uninitiated as well as devotees of underground movies and alternative sounds, it is compiled and presented by Brighton based artist-filmmaker and electronic music composer, Ian Helliwell.
Carefully assembled, each Synch Pulse programme will include local and international avant-garde shorts from past and present to explore a specific theme as represented through experimental film, animation and documentary, often with unusual electronic soundtracks. The hope is to create an ongoing series of relaxed short film evenings - plus occasional performances and discussions - to create a nexus for independent, left field movies. Future themed programmes will cover: architecture; railways; cities; sound visualization; space flight; world's fairs; collage; analogue synthesizers; time; and synthetic sound.
