War Work: 8 Songs with Film
Director: Michael Nyman
Year: 2014
A song cycle with texts written by World War I poets all of whom, apart from the English painter-poet David Bomberg, lost their lives during the war... This innovative song cycle combines chansons vieilles from European poets, archival visual excerpts, and fragments of World World I-era musical motifs, in which Michael Nyman evokes everything erased from our memory: the unknown soldiers - those who have never been found or have lost their lives.
NYman with a Movie Camera
Director: Michael Nyman
Year: 2011
NYman with a Movie Camera is a 64 minute feature film conceived and directed by Michael Nyman. The film presents a shot-by-shot reconstruction of Dziga Vertov's iconic film 'Man with a Movie Camera', replacing the original sequences with footage from Michael Nyman's own film archives shot over the last two decades. <br /> <br /> Deeply rooted in Vertov's original ideas concerned with 'the Perception of Truth', the documentation of 'life as it is' and that of 'life caught unawares', Nyman's film attempts to capture the essence of 'what is there', and reflects on what he calls the Persistence of glance, a multi-sensorial experience of time as it occurs, of life as it happens and as recorded by the human memory. The film is a modern-day take on experimental documentary film making through the bias of cinematographic collage. It proposes to renew a discourse with the ideological and aesthetic precepts once defended by Vertov in his pursuit of the ultimate 'cleaning up' of film language from the 'corrupting influence' of Drama.
