A surreal audio-visual extravaganza that combines experimental film shorts by leftfield filmmaker James Harrar and classic films from the late 60s and early 70s, featuring Sun Ra and his Arkestra. Rarely seen publicly, they have been restored and preserved by Harrar. These will be set to a live soundtrack by Marshall Allen, leader of the present day Arkestra.

“The energy of the images leapt off the screen, with Allen’s bursts of alto sax and accompanying electronics a stand-out.” Financial Times
