Flatpack Projects: Open Fund for Organisations
Group Listening – Camlesi
Flatpack is a mobile arts organisation which exists to show amazing work, bring people together and develop new ideas. We love film in all shapes and sizes, particularly where it bumps up against other artforms, and get a kick out of transforming spaces to create unforgettable events. Every May you can find us taking over venues across Birmingham with the “magnificently eclectic” Flatpack Festival, while throughout the year we pop up all over the place with everything from family activities to al fresco horror.
For this special project, we’re teaming up with The Silent Hippodrome Film Festival in Bo’ness to commission musical duo Group Listening to write, perform, and record a brand new musical score to an enchanting new film made of up entirely of archive footage on the theme of canals and waterways. A fusion of visuals and sounds, this new work promises to be nothing short of magical and will be performed live at both festivals, with the opportunity for venues and festivals to book the performance through It’s Cozy Inside.
