CINECITY is coming to a venue near you

And opening at the university’s South Gallery in Grand Parade this Friday will be ‘Fake News: The British Cinema Newspapers’, a display focusing on the use of print media in Brighton Rock and other major UK thrillers.

Upstairs in the Grand Parade Boardroom on at 6pm on 28 November there’ll be a free talk by curators involved in Fake News including Anna Deamer, Paul Dutnall and Tim Brown from Cinecity. Book in advance at info@cine-city.co.uk

In the North Gallery at Grand Parade from Friday will be Looking for Love by visual artist and composer Christian Marclay. The needle of a record player is raised and dropped again and again, searching for the moment in assorted songs when the word “love” is heard. Marclay filmed his performance with a tiny camera used in surgical operations and captures, in sharp detail, his attempts to “look for love” on the record.

At the Gallery on 18 November visitors will be able to record their own personal messages onto disc using a 1950s automatic record-cutting machine. Specially designed for recording your own voice and making sound souvenirs you can make a 45 rpm two-minute ‘voice letter’ or audio message.

Visitors can also perform poetry, sing a song or tell a story, play an instrument, record a marriage proposal or a message to self. Small groups or families are welcome to cut one disc between them – £3 per recording to cover the cost of materials. Booking is essential at info@cine-city.co.uk.

On 25 November the Brighton-based New Note Orchestra, in collaboration with artist and composer Conall Gleeson and the film-maker Angus Cameron, present a montage of archive film and live sound for the premier performance of their new work ‘Solace’. The archive content is from the collection of  Screen Archive South East at the University of Brighton.

The 6:30 pm performance is at the Sallis Benney Theatre at Grand Parade. Tickets are £5 on the door.

CINECITY is being run in partnership with the University of Brighton, Duke of York’s Picturehouse and Screen Archive South East. It is funded by the National Lottery through the British Film Institute and Arts Council England.
