N2 - Double Screen 16mm/Performance: Blissfully Gunned Down (2013) | BFI (Southbank NFT3), National Film Theatre, London 19 July 2016. Shown as part of Experimenta: LFMC 50: Notes from the Underground 1980-82/HELLO, LOOK AT THAT PICTURE…DO YOU SEE ME NOW. Curated by Anna Thew and Steve Farrer. Including film works by Cordelia Swann, Derek Jarman, Stan Brakhage, Klonaris/Thomadaki, Kurt Kren.(commissioned as by BFI, Southbank, Lux London).The original 16mm film negative was shot between1980 – 81. This uncompleted piece of film work was shelved and re-found in 2012, the footage was printed and finally performed ‘live’ as a twin screen 16mm film looped projection. With D. John Briscoe performing a staged death in these short film sequences. Saxon’s live performance with the film is an attempt to orchestrate and animate a synchronous and diagetic sound event on the optical track of the film. Saxon scratches onto the film; scoring the sound ‘live’, as the film runs through the projectors; reinforcing the visible source on the screen, as the rhythmic sound of the ‘shot’ gradually becomes present throughout the filmed action on screen. https://www.cineplo.com/GB/London/1106400549431593/Notes-from-the-Underground----LFMC-50---Is-It-Persisting%3F--Yes
