This year’s Motion Plymouth festival draws to a close tonight with Flock - an outdoor installation using the physical presence of passers-by on the Barbican to illuminate ghostly dancers.

Inspired by Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and produced in collaboration between digital media artists KMA and choreographer Tom Sapsford, Flock was commissioned by the Institute of Contemporary Arts with the support of ROH2 at the Royal Opera House.

Then, there’s the Motion Plymouth Movie Star Reception, in the city’s Roland Levinsky Building from 8pm-11pm, where the winners of the festival’s film competition will be announced.

After the show is the After Party (in The Lounge, above The Treasury, Royal Parade) and after the party is the hotel lobby (possibly).

Tickets for the Movie Star Reception are a snip (not strictly true) at £20. For ticket details, call 01752 668761 or email info@motionplymouth.com

Motion Plymouth’s Katie Thompson told D+CFilm: “This is going to be a reception like no other, with a Hollywood feel.

“Our guests will be treated like celebrities and they’ll be able to walk around movie-themed installations.

“It is a red-carpet Oscar-style ceremony, as it is the prize-giving celebration for the entrants of the Motion Plymouth Movie Competition.”

And that’s about it, Motion Plymouth-wise til next year. Next up, on the local movie scene, is D+CFilm’s very own View From Here fest and D+CFree at Two Short Nights.

Stay tuned to D+CFilm for… heck, just stay tuned to D+CFilm, yeah?!
