SUMMARY:Accessing Handsworth Songs
DESCRIPTION:Film: Handsworth Songs \n Duration: 180 mins \nDirector: John Akomfrah \nYear of Release: 1986 \nMidlands Art Centre are delighted to host this special event which documents the journey to make Black Audio Film Collective’s 1986 film more – and differently – accessible. \nMade for Channel 4 series Britain: The Lie Of The Land by multimedia group Black Audio Film Collective\, acclaimed essay film Handsworth Songs was released just one year after the riots in Handsworth\, Birmingham and Tottenham. Interweaving archival photographs\, newsreel clips and home movie footage\, John Akomfrah’s award-winning film takes as its point of departure these violent events and the inability of the British media to go beyond its concern with demonising the rioters and their motives. \nslow emergency siren\, ongoing: Accessing Handsworth Songs developed as a year-long collaboration\, co-led by LUX and Sarah Hayden\, as part of a research project called Voices in the Gallery. \nElaine Lillian Joseph was commissioned to write and perform augmented audio description for the film and invited the Care-fuffle Working Group to develop creative captions. Audio-description and caption-users advised on the translations of sounds and images as they evolved. \nHannah Kemp-Welch worked with the project participants over a year to make [voices surface]: an audio-documentary about Accessing Handsworth Songs. This audio documentary\, captioned by Care-fuffle Working Group\, will also be launched at this event at MAC. \nslowemergencysiren.org.uk \nSchedule \n12.30pm: Intro \n12.45pm: Handsworth Songs screening\n(audio described + captioned) \n1.45pm: Q&A/panel with audio describer Elaine Lillian Joseph\, sound artist Hannah Kemp-Welch\, academic Sarah Hayden and head of LUX Ben Cook\n(captioned + BSL interpreted) \n2.30pm: Interval \n3pm: Hannah Kemp-Welch’s [voices surface]: an audio documentary about\nAccessing Handsworth Songs\n(captioned)
