Please see the following about a 'new' collaboration...
*****
Parallel Lives is a new cut-up collaboration between
John Foxx, underground film-maker and musician
Steve D'Agostino and movie director
Alex Proyas, whose credits include the
Will Smith blockbuster
I, Robot, along with the '90s noir classics
Dark City and
The Crow.
This new work will be screened at
The Roundhouse on the 5th of June, just before
Foxx's analogue electronic set.
According to
Proyas, "If only my 18 year old self could've seen his film with an original
John Foxx soundtrack he would've been beside himself with excitement... hell, my 48 year old self is pretty impressed too! Just wonderful." The short is a cut-up of
Proyas's film
Groping, set to a brand new version of the Foxx 1980 B-side
Film One.
"I think apart from his incredibly cinematic lyrics, John's music has always conjured entire movies in my head when I listen to it," says
Proyas. "I think it is his mastery of atmosphere that has stayed with me through the years. If I could only make a movie as textured and evocative as John's music I would be a happy man".
