Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian: Radical Imagination & Film + Queer Ecofeminist Futures
14 May
/
7:00 pm

Nelly is an unstoppable force of nature, drawing on out-of-this world experiences and combining them with underground politics and cosmic dreaming to challenge how we imagine our collective future. Here’s your chance to be a part of her latest film production, Heartsnatcher.

Come down for a night of electronic-focused experimentation.

A heady brew of improv, noise and remix culture that showcases the depth and diversity of the left-field music scene in Birmingham and beyond.

It’s a slice of cosmic pie for all the family, washed down with a hot jug of granular gravy. All in one Pan.

After a short presentation on Nelly’s diverse documentary practice, she’ll deliver a workshop inviting you to step inside the world of the work-in-progress feature documentary Heartsnatcher. Open to all - whether you’re a drag king, drag queen, someone from the queer community who fancies dressing up, or anyone else keen to take part.

Participants will warm up together, then split into groups to test script lines and embody three key scenes:

  • Timortis climbing the hill in search of world peace
  • Clementine’s hallucinatory birth
  • The International Space Station reimagined as a Love Hotel

The session offers the chance to improvise, perform, contribute ideas, textures, and props. You’ll help shape the living storyboard of this new in-development documentary.

Nelly was last at Flatpack with her film International Space Orchestra and it’s a pleasure to have her back for the 20th fest. See also her film Doppelgängers³, screening on 15 May.

In partnership with Shout Festival.
