The conversation began in Glasgow, May 2015.
A mysterious, degraded film reel was unearthed. Inside the can we found half-legible written instructions, interference, repetition, distorted voices from…. where. The future? A new analogue found and handmade film, sound and spoken word performance that has travelled across the seas from Scotland to Australia and back again, to settle in Berlin.
Biography/Filmography:
Edinburgh and Melbourne- based collective of Lydia Beilby and Leanora Olmi. They create performative, expanded cinema works using found, archival 8mm and 16mm film, photographs, slides and visual ephemera as source materials. Through the exploration of the photochemical film medium, analogue projection and visual culture, Screen Bandita create participatory pieces and workshops that interrogate themes of memory, connection and the tactile physicality of analogue film material.

A traumatoscopic presentation
In the museum a world of possibilities presents itself to the open and focused mind. An immense number of scenes can be created to appease even the wildest of imaginations. This is not to suggest that museum making is easy, far from it, it has its own problems. Ideas must be considered, sets must be built and altered to suit exactly the requirements of the scene, props must be hired or bought, the correct angles for lighting and for a particular concept must be worked out and so on.
