Vincent Moon's Live Cinema

Join this unique Outdoor Immersive Cinema Experience at Keep Her Lit's Lunasa Gathering in Kells
About this Event

Vincent Moon’s ‘Live Cinéma’ is an immersive visual and sonic improvisation based on the entirety of his musical research around the world.

Vincent Moon is an independent French filmmaker and intrepid explorer who made a name for himself as a music video director for indie bands like R.E.M. and The National. Over the past twenty years he has been traveling the world making films that probe the boundaries between cinema, documentary and ethnographic musical research.
With his live-cinema Vincent Moon presents a collage of experiences drawn from his personal archive , a series of over a thousand films capturing the essence of traditional trance based ceremonies, ecstatic rituals and sacred music from around the world. Each performance is unique with Moon summoning images and sounds woven from a stream of memories. His camera moves intimately among the celebrants and musicians he shares these experiences with. This is ritual cinema, where Moon transforms the space into a visceral, body shaking spiritual ceremony, where he is not a spectator, and neither are we.
