Wurlitza on at Sunrise

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

There’s nothing quite like a silent movie, especially if there’s sound, especially if it’s a soundtrack that is live and played by a five-piece band from Cornwall. And oddly enough that’s exactly what is going to happen at Plymouth Arts Centre on July 5.

Wurlitza, ‘the completely strange and completely wonderful’ five-piece band from St Germans will play a live soundtrack to classic silent movie Sunrise at the arts centre. The line-up includes guitars, vocals, bass, keyboard, clarinet and percussion, and their carefully orchestrated soundtrack reflects a variety of musical influences – everything from jazz and blues through to ska and pop. Of particular interest to music aficionados will be a mazurka adapted from an original score by Cornish composer Herbert Lanyon, father of artist Peter Lanyon, which will be played for the first time at the screening of Sunrise.

We’re no silent experts, but according to the blurb: ‘Made in 1927 by German Expressionist film maker FW Murnau, Sunrise was one of Hollywood’s most ambitious projects. Groundbreaking filmmaking techniques, distorted sets and expressive lighting demonstrated what was possible near the end of the silent era. Murnau was given complete artistic freedom to make the film, which has become one of the most revered of all time. It tells the story of a countryman and his wife whose lives are invaded by a femme fatale from the city.’

The drums start to roll from 8.30pm on Saturday July 5. Tickets are £8 and advance booking is recommended.

Matinee time in Plymouth

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Bunking off work for the afternoon and going to the pictures can never be condoned, but is always fun. That’s why it’s great that the cheeky crowd up at Plymouth Arts Centre have put temptation in all of our paths and started a matinee performance to its film programme.

Out of the Blue trailer

With an afternoon showing every day except Monday, for the bargain price of £3.50 what could be better [other than making your own films - ed]? And, the newly refurbished cinema apparently has leg-loads of room.

And we’re stuck in the basement with a bunch of Flicks magazines to get through, but is that a migrane coming on…

At 2.30pm today Out of the Blue; tomorrow Mister Lonely, Thursday, Out of the Blue; Friday Where in the World; Saturday XXY; and Sunday Where in the World.

For more details visit the Plymouth Arts Centre website.

Confusions of an Unmarried Couple cover

Soon the Butler Brothers will be as familiar to you as the Coens or Wachowskis, if the hype is anything to go by.

And have a look at the trailer on their site.
