London Short Film Festival: Serafina Steer & Sam Steer: This Side of the Moon

Originally commissioned for the 2011 Branchage Jersey Film Festival, the London premiere of harpist and songwriter Serafina Steer and animator Sam Steer’s performance takes place on the 13th of Jaurary at the Hackney Picture House.

Inspired by Kenneth Anger’s 1950 short film Rabbit’s Moon, in their bizarre, astounding new animation, Postman’s Familiar, the Steer brother and sister team have re-interpreted the archetypal characters of Anger's avant-garde clown fantasy. Anger’s original soundtrack features mainly doo-wop pop, juxtaposed against his surreal, classical, silent take on 'commedia dell'arte'.

Serafina Steer creates a live sonic interpretation of this mythical story, using the new sound of 'psychedelic harp'. There will be a programme of classic and recent animations, including other Steer brother and sister collaborations.

There will be also be a full supporting programme of live music, and a late bar until 1am with guest DJs.

Serafina's live soundtrack event is supported with a grant from PRS for Music Foundation's 'Women Make Music'.

The whole event was filmed by Rockfeedback and recorded earlier in the day and live during the performance so stay tuned for the results.

My Sad Captains full album stream and new video

Here's the video for 'Little Joanne' directed by Matt Reed and taken from Captains new album 'Fight Less, Win More'. We're streaming the whole album from our shop until its release on the 7th of November, have a listen here.

On the day of release Captains will be heading up to Manchester for a live session with Marc Riley on BBC6, show starts at 7pm and then on Wednesday the 9th, The Line Of Best Fit will be hosting the album launch at The Lexington, details in our gigs section.

'Written in San Francisco, recorded in Cornwall and mixed by previous Elliott Smith and Stephen Malkmus collaborator Larry Crane, Fight Less, Win More is a quiet victory. A masterclass in restraint, of hushed vocals, heartbreaking one-liners and chugging motorik grooves.' -The Line Of Best Fit

''Fight Less...' is a joyous ride through the blessed strain of indie ploughed by US contemporaries like Grandaddy and Atlas Sound while still sounding like a product of home. Cherish this one.'- Loud And Quiet 8/10

The album comes in a hand silk screened sleeve, designed by Phil Goss, Nick Goss and Dan Davis.
