About the event

Our ensemble will be performing live music to early film to raise awareness of the forgotten women in early cinema!

Two short silent films will be shown, accompanied by experimental scores to be written by composers from the ensemble, as well as a pre-performance talk on early women filmmakers and a talk on the filmmaking process. The first film will be the 1928 short ‘The Seashell and the Clergyman’ directed by Germaine Dulac, widely overlooked as the first film to use surrealist techniques and an important early example of feminist filmmaking.  

The second film will be made by a female student filmmaker from the Edinburgh College of Art, as a companion piece to the first, using its themes, imagery and stylistic choices as a jumping-off point. As well as highlighting the somewhat overlooked history of women in film, we hope that through this project, we are able to bring contemporary classical music to audiences who would normally be hard to reach.
