Georges Kaplan Presents..., Hypnotique, and Wooden Arms

Colliding Lines return with Reanimation, our bi-monthly live soundtrack evening held at New River Studios, North London.

This month we explore the phantasmagoria of 1900’s sci-fi and fantasy films – the magic of hand-tinted films, retro futurism and early special effects, scored live by four different artists.

Films:

• Trip to the Moon / Voyage de la Luna, 1902.
• The Kingdom of the Fairies / Le Royaume des Fées, 1903.
• The Red Spectre / Le Spectre Rouge, 1907.
• Trip to Jupiter / Le Voyage sur Jupiter, 1909.

The programme features the work of film pioneers and stage magicians Georges Méliès and Segundo de Chomón, whose innovations in narrative and visual filmmaking are considered among some of the most influential in film history.
