Paper Cinema comes to the Curzon for a pre-Halloween show
Clevedon’s Curzon Cinema‘s auditorium will be transformed into a magical world with vivid drawings and projections when the Paper Cinema arrives for a special matinee performance suitable for nippers aged eight upwards on Sunday 27 October. The Paper Cinema presents favourite short stories, including the dream-like Night Flyer, humorous Devil in Cornwall, spooky Wanderer and Edgar Allan Poe’s King Pest in what’s billed as “illustrated song, a shadow, a smoke, a mirror, a puppet show, a cinema show. It exists in the meeting of live music and moving drawings.”
“The pleasure here is not just that the animations are both sinister and enchanting, or that the wonderful music gives the whole thing the feel of a quirky silent movie, but also that you can see how the show is being made right before your eyes,” enthused The Guardian of this gentle Halloween treat performed by two puppeteers and a multi-instrumentalist. The illustrated ‘puppets’ themselves are two-dimensional, the illusion of ‘depth of field’ being created through multiple layers.
The Curzon also has some post-Halloween spookiness for adults in the form of a special immersive screening of the 4K edition of The Lost Boys on November 8. This includes an hour of DJ Cheeba Lost Boys ‘happenings’ before and after the film, “flipping beats from the unreleased score” and serving up “visuals in unexpected places”.
