Before Nightfall #12 Lamine Sonko
Presented as part of Melbourne International Film Festival 2020.
Before Nightfall #12 is presented at HCMF at 3pm, 21 November (UK time). This is an international, online and free presentation.
Before Nightfall is a series of musical encounters between Speak Percussion and guest artists, working intensively across one day, culminating in a live performance that night. In 2020, Before Nightfall uses the moving image as its inspiration.
Before Nightfall #12 is in collaboration with Senegalese-born, Melbourne-based artist Lamine Sonko. All music created has been inspired by an adaptation of the famous Senegalese film Hyenas, restored in 2018.
This year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, all artists worked across one day, in isolation. Their music was recorded and mixed and the final presentation is offered online as an audio-visual work as part of MIFF 68 1/2.
Before Nightfall #12 can be watched in conjunction with the fully restored feature film Hyenas. “The newly restored masterpiece from Senegalese auteur Djibril Diop Mambéty follows a woman who returns to the poverty-stricken town that shunned her to strike a vengeful bargain.” MIFF
Tickets for this online presentation are free but must be booked via the MIFF website.
