Bug Eyes – A night of insect films!
As part of their First International Arts Pestival – a series of events devoted to our insect friends, including insect-made and inspired music concerts – the (rather wonderful) Strange Attractor journal is presenting a double bill of great bug movies.
First up is Ladislaw Starewicz’s, The Cameraman’s Revenge, a 1912 animation using real insects, with a new, specially-commissioned soundtrack.
It’s followed by the one and only film directed by Saul Bass, famous designer of Hitchcock’s opening credits sequences (Vertigo, Psycho, North By Northwest). Phase IV is a 1974 sci-fi movie about the rise of intelligent ants.
The films will be followed by a discussion on insects in cinema.
The event takes place at the London Wetlands Centre in Barnes and you can book on 0208 409 4400.
