Imogen Heap DVD
We’ve been blown away by the response to our Sound and Silents extravaganza on Friday night at Southbank Centre – and if you were there we’d love to know what you think too! We have a copy of Imogen’s new DVD Everything In-Between – The Story of Ellipse to be won for the best review: all you have to do is tell us what you thought about the Sound & Silents performance in the Comments box below (or post a link to a piece on your blog) by Friday 25th March. We’ll then put the names of the commentators in a hat, and one will win a copy of the DVD!
Everything In-Between – The Story of Ellipse goes behind the scenes and explores Imogen’s three year journey to make Grammy Award winning album, Ellipse, including her writing and recording process and the building of her recording studio. Find out how she creates the unique sounds of her album from dismantaling pianos to evening birds in the woods (and including a clip of her performance from Birds Eye View Film Festival 2008).

BEV 2011 is jam-packed with a huge array of events covering everything from music to make-up including our ultimate cinematic mix tape Music Loves Video, returning on Thursday for a celebration of women directors working in the music video industry.

And to round it all off, journalist and BEV favourite Miranda Sawyer hosts post-groove analysis.
BEV spoke to programmer Amber Parsons about women in music video making and her top picks from MLV 2011. Read the full story

Self Made

Britart figure in the late 1980s, winner of the
Turner Prize in 1997, and elected a lifetime member of the
Royal Academy of Arts in 2007.
Self Made – her first feature film – is an intense, revealing and sometimes disturbing study of a group of participants who experiment with Method acting to access personal memories and experiences. With results ranging from episodes of violence to imagined love (via an excerpt from
King Lear), the participants confront deep truths about themselves in an extraordinary work of modern art and cinema.
