Overheated Symphony

‘For the Birds Eye View film festival 2008, Sarah orchestrated an ‘innovative cinematic symphony of women's voices from around the world’ in an interactive mobile phone filmmaking project. This groundbreaking project invited participants to engage, by making a quick film - between 40 seconds and 4 minutes long - on a mobile phone, in response to the theme: OVERHEATED. Submitted films could be viewed on You Tube or on the Birds Eye blog so that women had an opportunity to respond to other work and to engage in a dialogue of ideas.

The participative nature of the project was then extended through a live edit that took place at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London on the 9th March 2008. There, Sarah and sound designer Annabelle Pangborn, sampled moments from the submitted films using the structure of a symphony to edit the work. The completed symphony is now available via You Tube and BIRDS EYE VIEW’S website.
