Witness analog hardware lover and DJ Surgeons Girl in a 30-minute live performance activation, inspired by 16mm. This unique experience combines analog and digital elements, reimagining Norman McLaren and Helen Biggar’s powerful animated anti-war agit-prop piece, Hell Unltd (1936), with thanks to the BFI National Archive.
Surgeons Girl harnesses the power of ambient techno to re-envision the film, infusing it with a vibrant soundscape that revitalises the 16mm format.
