'This Side of the Moon'- Postman's Familiar

Serafina Steer and Sam Steer present This Side of the Moon

Fri, 23rd Sep 20:00, Ebenezer Church - £7.00
Serafina Steer and Sam Steer present This Side of the Moon
Harpist and songwriter Serafina Steer and animator Sam Steer join forces for a performance inspired by Kenneth Anger’s RABBIT'S MOON (1950). In their bizarre and astounding new animation, POSTMAN'S FAMILIAR, the Steer brother and sister team have re-interpreted the archetypal characters of Anger's avant-garde clown fantasy. Anger’s original soundtrack features mainly doo-wop pop juxtaposed against his surreal, classical silent take on 'commedia dell'arte'. Serafina Steer (Stolen Recordings) creates a live sonic interpretation of this mythical story, using the new sound of 'psychedelic harp'.
The live event will be supported by a selection of animations, from classics to more recent masterpieces, and a selection of the Steers previous short collaborations:

THE CAVALIER (Sam Steer, 5 min, UK 2008)
THE EAGLEMAN STAG (Michael Please, 9 min, UK 2010)
THE MOST AMAZING TIGER (Sam Steer, 5 min, UK 2007)
NEXT (Barry Purves, 5 min, UK 1989)
THE SANDMAN (Paul Berry, 9 min, 1992)
SOMETHIN' FISHY (Kit Gillson, 5 min, UK 2011)
WHAT'S OPERA DOC? (Chuck Jones, 7 min, 1957)

Serafina's live soundtrack event is presented in association with Birds Eye View Film Festival, and supported with a grant from PRS for Music Foundation's 'Women Make Music'.

Special thanks to the Jersey Academy of Music.
