missioned the original work The Unfilmables with Wrangler (Cabaret Voltaire’s Stephen Mallinder, Benge and Phil Winter from Tunng) and Academy Award nominee Mica Levi (Under the Skin OST, Jackie OST, Micachu & The Shapes) in collaboration with her sister and video artist Francesca Levi.
The history of cinema is teeming with stories of wild and wonderful films which never quite made it to the finish line. Films such as Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon, David Lynch’s Return of the Jedi and Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Dune are famously unproduced masterpieces; masterpieces simply because they can only ever exist in imagination… until now.
Live Cinema UK tasked Wrangler and the Levi sisters to tap into the a imagination-firing quality of these ‘what if?’ scenarios and create highly original, artful and fantastic musical and visual impressions of some of the greatest films which were never made.
The new ‘films’ The Tourist (Wrangler) and The Colour of Chips (Francesca and Mica Levi) were presented as two new live performances in Manchester, Brighton and London in May and June 2017.
