‘Awe-inspiring’ installation coming to city centre church

By Betty Woolerton  Monday Sep 11, 2023

An immersive film exploring how humans use technology to capture, record and represent reality is set to be exhibited at Broadmead Baptist Church.

Illusions of Movement is free to visit and promises to take audiences on a 45,000-year visual journey, from neolithic cave paintings to the advance of artificial intelligence.

The “awe-inspiring” moving image experience, part of Bristol’s Summer Film Takeover programme, is presented by multimedia studio Limbic Cinema.

Thom Buttery, creative director of Limbic Cinema, says: “Limbic Cinema works across a wide range of events, from live music, to theatre and architectural projection mapping.

“We wanted to produce something that reflects this myriad of platforms, and develop an installation that embodies the experimental side of moving image.

“Breaking out of the traditional screen formats, embracing new technologies, whilst also making narrative and storytelling central to the experience.”

Natalie Moore, Bristol UNESCO City of Film manager, says: “Bristol is home to world leading creative companies that constantly push the boundaries of what we can expect from screen content.

“It’s creativity like this that has driven the development of the ‘moving image’ from early origins as cave drawings animated by flickering firelight, to the advent of moving pictures, cinema’s golden age, TV, digital and CGI to today’s virtual media advances.

“Illusions of Movement brings this evolution to life in the atmospheric surrounds of Broadmead Baptist Church, making this a truly immersive, free experience that we’re proud to present as part of Bristol’s Summer Film Takeover.”

The installation takes place on Friday and Saturday between 11am and 8pm at Waddelow Hallon the first floor of Broadmead Baptist Church.
