Sounding Pictures: Live Scores to Short Silent Films, asks the question: what happens when we look at a silent film collectively and collaboratively, responding with an alternative live and improvised score and text? How does this influence the narrative of the film? Over three days, a series of contemporary, short silent films by 12 filmmakers – some of which had original scores – become the provocation for 14 musicians. In many instances, these musicians encounter the films for the first time, in front of a live audience. A performance programme in three parts, films are screened in The Centre space, the Atrium, and in the Pepper’s Ghost mechanism, allowing performers to engage with and respond to the films in different ways.
