Electric Eclectics #5
July 30th – August 1st, 2010 • Meaford, Ontario
FROM THE PROGRAM
Sunday 9:30 PM
For Electric Eclectics 2010, Peter Mettler will collaborate with filmmaker Lester Alfonso (Plus [+]) to create a live projection performance using a variety of film footage, with live sound accompaniment by musicians Anne Bourne and Tom Kuo.
Peter Mettler (Gambling, Gods and LSD) is a key figure in the critical wave of 80s Canadian filmmakers. He produces works which elude categorization. Melting intuitive processes with drama, essay, experiment or documentation, his films hold a unique and influential position in creative expression, not only in film but also in new art forms where cinema and other disciplines merge. Mettler was honoured with a career retrospective at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2006. Recently he has been experimenting with live sound and image mixing performances with a diversity of musical artists in an extremity of locales ranging from radio theatres to dance clubs and wilderness locations.
