The Moon Will
Save Our Ass
Purescreen 5: Castlefield Gallery, Manchester, 6 May 2004 A screening programme selected by Dave Griffiths in response to 'The Goose Fair' exhibition by Jacob Cartwright and Nick Jordan. The programme takes its title from an ecstatic phrase in Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums. Restless, tragicomic beings interact with turbulent environments and uncertain destinations in this programme of short film and video. With references to popular culture, myth and geopolitics, the programme is international in scope. The works typify some contemporary methods in moving-image practice: filmic constructs, animation, found-footage remix, digital processing, and painterly approaches to framing and materials. Including films by Emma Tod, George Barber, Ewan Chadronnet, Andrew Quinn, Naomi Uman, Animal Charm, David Noonan, Elizabeth McAlpine, Paul Cordwell & Jim Finn.
