M. Gordon: Decasia - a film by Bill Morrison (70')

Aurora gives the UK premiere of "Decasia", widely regarded as one of the great cross-arts collaborations of the past decade.

Constructed from severely decayed archival footage, Bill Morrison's hypnotic, stunningly beautiful film was cut to Michael Gordon's matching soundworld of decay, with a large amplified orchestra playing music that Alex Ross describes as 'wedding the hypnotic aura of minimalism to the detuned snarl of highbrow punk'.
