HKKP presents
The Pierced Heart & The Machete
+ HKKP Short Films
+ Haiti Field Recordings
+ Book Launch
Cinema as a force and in a field. Tonight's live and pre-recorded content is all borne from the unbelievably fantastic and fraught zone that is Haiti, including an exclusive feature film screening of Olivia Wyatt's (Sublime Frequencies) breathtaking, mix-tape documentary - plus discussions, clips and reveals revolving HKKP's work in Haiti.
Exploring two Haitian Vodou religious pilgrimages in full unabashed style The Pieced Heart & The Machete's vivid and arresting images are set to an intense range of music both acoustic/folk and sound-system shaking electronic
soundtracks. Disorientating ecstatic and explicit, homely and healing; this is sound and vision that could have only been created in the island of Haiti. The film maker (who was also behind Starting Into The Sun) will be interviewed by Esther May Campbell and Kayle Brandon on the night.
The Cube-centric Haiti Kids Kino Project, which was a reaction to the
devastation caused by Earthquakes that hit in 2010, was an inspirational and defining moment for The Cube. The inspiration generated has been felt far and wide, not least by those who organised and went on the three trips to Haiti to set up the temporary cinemas for children.
'A Field Guide To HKKP' is a book published by the team and will début tonight for all to see. To compliment this document some of the team will show specially made shorts, playback on-site sound recordings and discuss the impact of their experiences.
