Riverside Theatres Presents LIVE LIVE CINEMA 3/12-13

Bringing the magic of cinema to the stage, Riverside Theatres presents Jumpboard Productions Live Live Cinema from 12 to 13 March 2015. A unique and entertaining evening, Live Live Cinema will combine acting, live music and sound design alongside the screening of Francis Coppola's 1963 horror film Dementia 13 and Herk Harvey's 1962 cult classic, Carnival of Souls.

New Zealand composer Leon Radojkovic supported by multi instrumentalists, actors and a Foley artist will reinterpret the images of the two films to produce a new soundtrack live on stage. Radojkovic has a remarkable ability to shift meaning through music, to underline mood and atmosphere and occasionally affect absolute fear into an audience.

'Live' cinema generally consists of a small musical ensemble performing an original score to a pre-existing silent film however Live Live Cinema takes the concept further. Rather than simply having an ensemble perform a new score to a silent film, a sound film is shown and all audio is produced live. The end result is a gripping, spine-tingling and humorous production that celebrates film, music and live performance.

Dementia 13 - March 12

As an eccentric Irish family bickers over a vast inheritance in a lonely mansion, a mysterious axe murderer picks them off one by one. Dementia 13 rises above the material by virtue of Coppola's clever editing and obvious flair for composition.

Carnival of Souls - March 13

The first and last feature by Kansas based industrial filmmakers, Herk Harvey and John Clifford, Carnival of Souls is a deeply atmospheric and beautifully shot 'horror' film. Blurring levels of reality and existence, the film explores the dark underbelly of small-town life and creates a world where the familiar and everyday becomes alien and threatening.
