Decasia + The Fall of the House of Usher

Decasia is a unique visual experience that explores the raw material of film itself. It consists of nitrate archive footage collected by Morrison that has been naturally damaged and decayed by the process of time. With a powerful score by Michael Gordon, the film is a hypnotic and absorbing experience. Teamed with Epstein's haunted and haunting The Fall of the House of Usher (France 1928. Dir Jean Epstein. With Marguerite Gance, Jean Debucourt. 63min), this is a double bill about the decay and renewal of cinema.

Introduction by Dominic Power on Tue 6 March. The Fall of the House of Usher will feature live piano accompaniment by Costas Fotopoulos on Sun 4 Mar and Stephen Horne on Tue 6 Mar.
