Cinema Truck

1 November 2014, MediaCityUK

The Cinema Truck was a pop-up showcase of new, innovative film-makers in the heart of MediaCityUK for one day only. Located on the Piazza and completely free, this truck presented an exciting programme of work, including winners of the ‘Northern Artists Film Competition’, drawing on themes of movement and location: our position in the North, the rhythms of human bodies, bodies of water. The full programme is listed below.

We also played host to Quarantine‘s The Soldier Song. Developed through conversations with soldiers over an 18 month period, the concept is simple: film soldiers singing classic karaoke songs and offer audiences the opportunity to sing with them inside a purpose built sound proof karaoke booth. Both fun and silly, its hard not to enjoy a sing-a-long! And yet, inevitably, the encounter with those who serve their country in our name is a mixed bag of emotions that, through the nature of the close personal encounter, challenges and provokes and asks us to consider how we feel about them and what they do.
