Description

Film Screening: John Cage – Journeys In Sound (2012)

“I think our aim should be to have more and more access to the enjoyment of life” – John Cage

A sonic innovator or an expert on chance? A writer or an anarchist? A specialist in mushrooms or a performance artist? A Zen master or a cook? John Cage was all of these things.

This documentary by Oscar-winning director Allan Miller and Emmy-winner Paul Smaczny pays tribute to the most fascinating American avant-garde composer. Shot in America, Germany and Japan, the programme premieres rare archival footage; presenting concert excerpts and a set of shot episodes, featuring associates of Cage and contemporary artists, playfully delineating different aspects of John Cage. Runtime: 66 minutes

The event is part of the 5th International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival
