When a strange ray from the Eiffel Tower freezes the citizens of Paris mid-motion a small band of unaffected oddballs: a night watchman a scientist and a few bemused tourists roam the motionless metropolis like ghosts in a frozen dream.Clair uses this bizarre premise not just for comic effect but to quietly prod at deeper questions: What would we do with total freedom? What happens when society’s structure disappears and you’re left only with desire and impulse? Visually inventive and anarchic in spirit Paris Qui Dort is both a time capsule of silent-era experimentation and a cheeky philosophical fable dreamlike haunting and oddly joyful.The film screening is accompanied by live music from Edinburgh-based harpist / pianist composer and sonic artist Aurora Engine. Her work blends acoustic instruments voice and progressive electronica to create vivid atmospheric soundscapes often embedding nature and industrial field recordings. She is also a songwriter and active media composer. Before the film screening enjoy a short introduction from the Edinburgh Film Guild one of the oldest continuously running film societies in the world setting the scene for the film’s enduring legacy.Evening Schedule6pm – Apéro hour in the Salon7pm – Brief introduction from Edinburgh Film Guild7:05pm - Film screening with live accompaniment8:15pm – Conversations continue back in the Salon until 10pmPlease note: drinks can be purchased at our pop-up bar (cash or card) but are not included in the ticket price and are only allowed in the Salon space before and after the film.
