Meshes of the Afternoon + Live Score + Sisters with Transistors

Screen B14 x PFI presents Meshes of the Afternoon silent film with Piera Onacko’s Live Synth Score + Documentary feature Sisters with Transistors.

Screen B14 & PFI are proud to present a brand new musical imagining of Maya Deren’s “Meshes of the Afternoon” (1943), a quintessential piece of cinema history. Pianist, composer and synth maestro Piera Onacko brings her jazz-inflected soundscapes to one of the most important works of experimental film. Expect a mesmerising, ethereal journey through the dark subconscious.

An additional musical performance will be followed by Sisters with Transistors (2020). This radical feature documentary, narrated by Laurie Anderson, tells the story of electronic music’s female pioneers, composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today.

In partnership with Screen B14 and PFI, as part of our Optical Soundwaves programme
