AIRSPACE WORKSHOP & HIFF PRESENT SOUND + VISION

The meeting point of the speed of sound and the persistence of vision; This is the realm of the avant garde, from rock operas to the untold story of the truly visionary.

For any filmmaker, audio plays an important part of the film making process. From the sweeping orchestral score to a foley artist's sound effects. A soundtrack has the potential to create an additional layer of emotion and character for a film.

What happens when the sound maker becomes the focus of a story? Sound + Vision is evidence of the musician becoming the center of a narrative or guiding the visuals like a record on the turntable.

Airspace Workshop is proud to sponsor the Hawaii International Film Festival's Sound + Vision program, featuring two exciting films for cine and audiophiles alike: Anton Corbijn's CONTROL and Daft Punk's ELECTROMA.

A biopic film about Ian Curtis (1956-1980), lead singer of the legendary post-punk rock band Joy Division. Based on the book Touching From a Distance, by Curtis' wife, Deborah, who co-produced the film. The story unfolds of the troubled musician, who forged a new kind of music out of the punk rock scene of 1970s Britain, and the band Joy Division, which he headed from 1977 to 1980. A canvas is painted of his rocky marriage and extramarital affair, as well as his frequent seizures, which were believed to contribute to the circumstances that led to his suicide on the eve of Joy Division's first U.S. tour.

CONTROL is a reference to one of Joy Division's more memorable songs, "She's Lost Control" which is believed to be from Curtis’s friendship with a girl who died from a seizure at rehab clinic in Manchester. Directed by lifelong Joy Division fan Anton Corbijn, his black and white narrative paints a high contrast portrait of Curtis, the man not Joy Division, the band. Premiering at this year’s Cannes Film Festival as part of the Director's Fortnight. It later won the CICAE Art & Essai prize for best film, the "Regards Jeunes" Prize award for best first or second directed feature film and the Europa Cinemas Label prize for best European film in the sidebar. All live Joy Division performances in the film are performed by the actors themselves.

Daft Punk's ELECTROMA is an odyssey of two robots (played by Peter Hurteau and Michael Reich) journey across a mythic American landscape of haunting, surreal beauty on a quest to become human. Their symbolic quest, which takes them from endless two lane highways to small idyllic towns to the arid desert, finds Daft Punk once again resisting conformity and developing new ways to highlight their inventive vision. A silent feature-length film that made its international debut at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, Electroma will interest Daft Punk fans and film enthusiasts alike.

A departure from the usual cinematic experience, ELECTROMA captures images and scenes with specific detail. Each scene can be viewed independently, likening the experience to the viewing of an art exhibit, or the recollection of one's own memories. With its breathtaking cinematography, innovative filming techniques, and above all its underlying search for humanity within a dystopian environment, Daft Punk have delivered a film that finds a common thread with their previous work while exploring new horizons as directors of their first feature film.
