The Girl with X-ray Eyes

The Girl with X-ray Eyes

Phillip Warnell's new film is being premiered in a
special event at Warwick Arts Centre on Thursday 8th May at 6pm

This is going to be a very unsual event that incorporates music, media and performance. As well as the film there will be a live theremin accompaniment (non-contact intrument often used in science fiction movies, and now very popular with musicians). Also, Steven Connor (Birkbeck) will speak on the popular fantasy of acquiring x-ray vision, and the Werner Herzog short documentary 'Bells from the Deep' will be screened (a rare screening on film).
Following the event (which starts at 6) there will be a reception in the Mead Gallery to launch the book 'The Girl with X-ray Eyes'.
admission for students is only £2.50 - but you need to book your ticket through the Arts Centre box office

Hope to see some of you there....

How did this go? As some of you may have noticed, I was on the wrong side of the box office counter that evening and therefore missed it.

It was sort of Laurie Andersonish in presentation at least; a video where a woman disects bodies through vision accompanied at times by a live theremin on stage, which cut through the video, increasing intensity and echoing its moods.. all that was missing was Anderson's stylish all-in-one suits.
