Featuring live soundtracks from: Es, Mikko Maasalo, Tony Ikonen,
Ilpo Väisänen, Kemialliset ystävät and Mika
Vainio
One of the founding fathers of the San
Francisco experimental film movement, Bruce Baillie shot The
Holy
Scrolls over a period of 30+ years. The result, a 12-hour cinematic
epic, can be seen at the festival in six parts. The Holy Scrolls
mixes
fictional, personal, and documentary material that is characterized
with a poetically sensitive approach to colour, light, and
texture.
For Baillie, reality is the sum of the physical and the spiritual,
and cinema is where the two can meet. Apart from Baillie himself,
the film features many other well-known 60’s cult figures,
such as Kenneth Anger, Sally Dixon, Ed Hugetz, and Ondine.
The showcase in the Orion theatre is
the film’s European premiere, and according to Baillie,
also its last public screening. Baillie himself, now 71, will
be presenting his work to the audience.
To make the cinematic experience even
more unique, some of the cream of Finnish experimental musicians
will be accompanying the film with live soundtracks of their own.
The bill consists of performances by Es, Kemialliset ystävät,
Mikko Maasalo, Tony Ikonen and Pan sonic’s Mika Vainio and
Ilpo Väisänen.
The presentation is realized in co-operation
with the Finnish Film Archive.
