Gavin Evans: Diving
7pm
To book tickets, please contact Summerhall box office.
A world premiere of cinematic movements by Gavin Evans, composed and performed live by virtuoso violinist Richard Moore and sonic artist Tom Hull. Uncompromising photographer and film-maker Evans has created a body of work that shines a torch on the darkest recesses of the human condition. In Diving the film is the lyric, the violin the voice. Themes of hurt, impulse and desire are exposed in Summerhall's Dissection Room with the precision of the surgeons scalpel. Harrowing and explosively beautiful Diving explores and reveals suppressed commonalities. Diving demands the audience to look deep within.
This event will be held in the Dissection Room.
Every Wednesday evening during the festival we’ll be presenting emerging artists’ film, video and performance. Each EAF Film Club evening is curated by an artist-run organisation from outside of Edinburgh whom we’ve invited to select work around the theme of Interval As Integration.
This week’s EAF Film Club evening is curated by Elizabeth Murphy and Emily Speed from The Royal Standard, Liverpool.
The Royal Standard is an artist-led gallery, studios and social workspace. It was established in 2006 by four Liverpool-based artists as a space for emerging contemporary artists that would operate somewhere in between the city’s grass-roots DIY initiatives and the more established arts institutions. This multi-purpose project space offers a testing ground for artists to push their ideas in new directions, and a setting for more spontaneous events and activity.
This film night looks at notions of melodrama, dance, hysteria and glamour. Special entertainment and services will be available during intermissions. Selected artists include Catherine Payton, Andrew Gannon, Serena Korda, Karin Kihlberg and Reuben Henry, Romany Dear, NOW NOW Collective and Ursula Mayer.
EAF Film Club is supported by New Media Scotland and The National Lottery through Creative Scotland.
