We Have An Anchor

We Have An Anchor sees independent filmmaker Jem Cohen collaborating with an extraordinary ensemble of acclaimed musicians from bands including Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Fugazi, and Dirty Three in a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton.

Multiple layered film projections are interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore, and buoyed by the group’s alternately ethereal and epic original score.

The project was last presented to great acclaim in the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s (BAM) Next Wave series and appears here in its European debut.

Confirmed line-up:
Guy Picciotto (Fugazi)
Jim White (Dirty Three)
T. Griffin (The Quavers)
Efrim Manuel Menuck (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion)
Sophie Trudeau (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion)
Jessica Moss (Thee Silver Mt. Zion)
Mira Billotte (White Magic)
