Vincent Moon’s Live Cinema

Multimedia artist, independent film director and sound artist: Vincent Moon is all of the above. He will be bringing together all of these roles during this Live Cinema evening: a live improvisation set, setting off from a collection of some twelve hundred exceptional film and audio recordings; for more than fifteen years, this French artist has travelled the world recording the ceremonies, rituals and cultures of local communities.

Taking this material as his starting point – you could call it a filmic collection of ethnographica, were it not for the fact that Moon’s approach is far from academic – the filmmaker invites us along on a visual cinematographic trip that leads into a state of trance.

Ecodelic consciousness

Moon weaves the recordings and sounds from his vast archive – a collage of immortalised rituals from all over the world, including recordings of unspoiled nature and manifesting spirits – into an enchanting tapestry of sound and vision.

Seated on beanbags, the audience will be able to surrender to what Moon calls an ‘ecodelic consciousness’: a fusion of psychedelic mind expansion and ecological interconnectedness; a profound sensory awareness of our shared destiny on planet Earth.

Vincent's Moon Live Cinema is a unique opportunity to transcend the format of the regular film screening. In Moon’s hands, the film experience is a spiritual voyage of discovery, a ‘cosmic soup’ (Moon) that blends art, ritual, technology and magic.
