‘Turbulent Light’ is the name of a new film commissioned for the Just Another Movie: Pink Floyd in Film season at Regent Street Cinema from May 23rd – Jun 7th. Curated by Sophia Satchell-Baeza (who also curated a lightshow-centric selection last month at the ICA and whose book, ‘Sensual Laboratories’ is imminent) it showcases countercultural films featuring the band and their music.
Turbulent Light is also the name the above film creators, Julian Hand and Heena Song, operate under for their light show and I’ve had the pleasure of doing several shows with them over the years, most recently at the Open Documentary Film Festival in London where they projected around my DJ set. To me they’re channelling the spirit of Mark Boyle with their shows and the film reminds me of Boyle’s classic ‘Beyond Image’ short with music by Soft Machine, replaced here by The Oscillation, a band that Julian has a long association with as a visual artist. There will be posters and prints available at the screenings as well as showings of 25 and 60 minutes cuts of the film.
