The Cabinet of Living Cinema

Images are from the Cabinet’s latest project, Making Tracks, with Whirlygig Cinema (click on an image for live score of “Reap What You Sew” @ Making Tracks) and their live score of psychedelic Western, El Topo at Old Vic Tunnels, March, 2011.

The Cabinet of Living Cinema is a meeting of artists dedicated to creating “living cinema” experiences through live performance.

Working with a number of organisations, venues and festivals who support our vision, we provide a platform for live cinema acts and new filmmakers as well as a chance to see rarely-seen animation and avant-garde films.

“lyrical, passionate and searching; impossible to forget” (Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman)

“sensational avant-garde and animated films” (Donald Hutera, The Times)

“There’s something wonderfully old school about walking into a cinema and discovering that the score you’re about to hear is to be performed live. The instinctive reaction is to check your pockets for Strand cigarettes and a pension book just in case you’ve injudiciously stepped into a time warp.” (Dixe Wills, Guardian writer)
