Zbiegniew Seifert: Passion - A Documentary by Erin Harper

“PASSION” is expanding — blossoming out of its short form. I’ve been cutting together the feature length, and have come up with a way to make that process even more invigorating.

If you are curious, you can come to its debut “work-in-progress” showing in Louisville KY MARCH 31, 7:00pm @ Glassworks, 815 W. Market Street.  Tickets are $10 or $7 for LFS Members.  It is part of the Motherlodge performance series (http://www.motherlodge.com) in conjunction with the Louisville Film Society (http://www.louisvillefilm.org). And DO go to the Louisville Film Society website.  When will I ever be on a bill w/ Les Blank, Megumi Sasaki, and Jean Cocteau again?!

The new title of the project “ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE” is an improvised dialogue between documentary film and live music performance.  Documentary footage underscored by live music transpires into improvised edited footage responding to the feautured music.  As we shoot new footage throughout the year, each show will incorporate that changing landscape.  So you can come to all of our shows and always see new stuff!

This new screening/preformance will tour in the US and Europe + to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Seifert’s death.  The core of ‘ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE’ explores the trials and tribulations that artists undergo in search of the fulfillment of their vision. The search for music becomes the search for a man, which becomes the search for the self, for a voice, for a legacy.

More exciting things coming up for “ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE” … in Zielona Gora (April 25), Poland and later in Krakow.

Stay tuned!
