FILM / ANIMATION
BLAST
Directed by Roseanna Anderson and Joshua Ben-Tovim with an original composition by Hollie Harding and Ben Oliver. The film was inspired by the Vorticist journal – BLAST – which was edited by Wyndham Lewis. The journal included short stories, numerous illustrations, poems and a manifesto signed by 11 artists including Ezra Pound and Gaudier Brzeska.
The film evokes the pulsing energy of early modernist Britain with its experiments in form and desire to manifest a utopian future. We sit alongside a female audience and follow an artist, two dancers and two lovers, with the heavy shadow of retrospect, knowing the carnage and decimation that was to follow this remarkable period of productivity.
Choreography for the film was developed as part of the Cohan Collective residency programme. New Creatives is supported by Arts Council England and BBC Arts.
