14 11 07: THE WIRE 25 - The Road to Who Knows Where
THE WIRE 25 FILM presents three evenings of artists' film and video curated by Mark Webber at the Roxy Bar and Screen to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of alternative music magaizine The Wire. The series begins with a programme of avant-garde classics, followed by UK premieres of four recent works by younger artists. Tuesday 13th November 2007, 8pm THE ROAD TO WHO KNOWS WHERE Two fragmented and dysfunctional road movies imagined as a series of episodic vignettes or misty memories. Jessie Stead's "Foggy Mountains Breakdown More Than Non-Foggy Mountains", a cryptic album of weird and wonderful versions of Flatt & Scrugg's bluegrass standard won first prize at the Ann Arbor Film Festival. "The Secret Apocalyptic Love Diaries" of Enid Baxter Blader is a windswept folk-poem shot on a homemade video camera. Both cast a discreet nod of recognition to Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. THE SECRET APOCALYPTIC LOVE DIARIES, Enid Baxter Blader, USA, 2006-07, 12 minutes FOGGY MOUNTAINS BREAKDOWN MORE THAN NON-FOGGY MOUNTAINS, Jessie Stead, USA, 2006, 59 minutes
