Aviva Studios will host a screening of Aoife McArdle, Cillian Murphy and Max Porter’s mesmerising film All Of This Unreal Time this week. The showing will be followed by live performances of new music inspired by the film from composers Aaron & Bryce Dessner and Jon Hopkins.
‘A man – any man, everyman – walks alone through night and the city. From subway to pavement to wide open marshland, he confesses his failings: emotional, physical, political. To whom, and for what? Ashamed and alarmed, he considers both the smallness of human life and the scale of the world, and ultimately our most pressing obligation: to care for those alongside us, and for the earth that sustains us.’
In this night of cinema and music, watch the film starring Cillian Murphy, then take in live performances of new music inspired by the film from the composers of its original score, Aaron Dessner and Bryce Dessner (of The National) and Jon Hopkins. This will be followed by a Q&A with Max Porter, Aoife McArdle, Bryce Dessner, Aaron Dessner, Jon Hopkins and Mary Hickson, chaired by Keisha Thompson.
