Optional dress code: the golden age of cinema
ORGANISATION
Annexinema is an autonomous, not-for-profit partnership, focused on exhibiting visionary and experimental work in sound and the moving image. Our events are peripatetic, reclaiming disregarded or neglected sites (from a disused shop unit to a cycle-powered screening under a motorway flyover) as social cinema spaces. We take a broad, collaborative approach to programming, interested in finding common ground between potential audiences and communities.
EVENT
For Sideshow, Annexinema will create a characteristically idiosyncratic event, taking local cinematic history as its point of departure, celebrating 100 years since the first electric picture house opened its doors in Nottingham.
The programme will include a selection of experimental films and archive footage loosely themed on Nottingham in and at the cinema, and includes a newly commissioned work by Annexinema, films from Bill Morrison and Frank Abbot, a 3D work by Ken Jacobs, Emily Richardson’s paean to an old cinema, Stephen Connolly and Patrick Keiller’s remake of the first film made in Nottingham, recordings of legendary local organ maestro Jack Helyer, a curious narrative using found slides by Wayne Burrows and archive footage from MACE (Media Archive of Central England).
There will also be an exclusive binaural sound piece by Dallas Simpson. To fully appreciate this work, please bring with you a set of ordinary headphones.
COACH TRIP & TALK
For a free coach trip from Nottingham to the event, including a guided tour of Nottingham's former cinemas and talk by Dr Lucy Faire, please meet at One Thoresby Street, NG1 1AJ at 6pm. Booking for the event is free but strictly limited.
UNFORTUNATELY ALL PLACES ARE BOOKED UP FOR THE FREE COACH TRIP
