Jonathan Harvey: film screening and talk
Saturday 21 November
Lawrence Batley Theatre, 10am,
free event
hcmf presents the screening of Barrie Gavin's new portrait film of Jonathan Harvey TOWARDS AND BEYOND (48'). Gavin seeks to explore Harvey's musical and philosophical world by means of a journey outward from his own thoughts and from his actual workroom. The portrait works through a series of metaphors and analogies - some derived from the landscape of southern England, others from far in time, space and history, including Christian and Buddhist imagery, electronic manipulation and views from the Hubble telescope in space.
The film will be preceded by a talk with Jonathan Harvey and followed by a discussion led by broadcaster and writer Brian Morton between Jonathan Harvey, filmmaker Barrie Gavin and Michael Downes, author of Jonathan Harvey: Song Offerings and White as Jasmine, to be published by Ashgate in December 2009.
