 Our film night featuring new short films, live music and screenings of Ladislaw Starewicz’s <em>The Cameraman’s Revenge</em>, a 1912 animation using real insects, with a new, specially commissioned live soundtrack. And, Phase IV (pictured above), a mesmerising, thoughtful 1974 eco-science fiction film, directed by Saul Bass. Bass designed the opening sequences for many of Alfred Hitchcock’s films.
