The Screen at Contemporary - SLOW. FAST. STRANGE: In the Mood for Love
The Screen at Contemporary presents SLOW. FAST. STRANGE. A collection of films where the soundtrack is the main character.
Music and film have long been entwined. Each affects the other profoundly. They can blend harmoniously; they can contort each other., In symbiosis, they leave us seeing music and hearing image. Curated in collaboration with our friends at Running Circle Records, we have selected films with some of the best scores, and paired them with further listening recommendations.

IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000)
Two strangers form a bond when they suspect their respective partners are having an affair with each other. Deliriously sumptuous visuals invoke longing, memory, and desire, whilst a haunting score swells between the lovelorn protagonists as a kind of liminal, sonic space. Yumeji’s Theme, composed by Shigeru Umebayashi, will haunt you long after you’ve left the cinema. A masterful, potent, meditative audiovisual experience that exudes yearning from every frame and bar.
Running Circle is a Sneinton Market based record shop, originally founded in 2017 as an independent record label by musicians & DJs Guohan Zeng and Tom Towle. The duo have been curating ambitious music releases and supporting artists in the early stages of their career, from Nottingham and further afield including Kinkajous, Pete Beardsworth & Yazmin Lacey. They’ve also programmed events across the city and regularly broadcast on internet radio stations Balami [Peckham] and Radio Al Hara [Palestine].
