A friend of mine is
involved in a project called Earfilms, a term I have now added to the
dictionary on my word processor! It's essentially a film which you
'watch' blindfolded, a combination of storytelling, 3D surround
sound and music is intended to evoke images within the mind, so your
imagination literally becomes the screen upon which the story is
played out. In a world where ever more sophisticated levels of
technology are employed in our entertainment, it's really appealing to me
to see a project that embraces the eternal technology of the eye of
the mind.
The European premier of
the first feature length Earfilm, 'To Sleep To Dream', is taking
place at the Brighton festival from the 4th to the 6th
of May. Here's a description of the film, along with a documentary
about Earfilms that also gives you a short taste of what they're like.
In 2056 a great flood
devastated the World, leaving just one city standing — Lhaytar —
a society built under the supreme control of one corporation. Here,
workers of the corporation are denied the freedom to breed, and even
to dream. We follow deflated worker Jack Richards, an overworked
giant of a man lost in the system — until one day he encounters a
message left in the space between the waking and sleeping worlds and
a strange new reality opens up for him.
Haunting and magical,
this is a story about the power of the dreamer and the desire to find
your strength in a world that makes you feel small.
