The CCA was actually one of the first places that we stumbled across in Glasgow, a small hub with a bookshop full of specialist literature, a large gallery space and cafe bar, there was also behind one of the doors a small theatre with old school raked seating and the film pocket theatre 12min playing on constant loop. having the film playing in this small devoted theatre really addend to the magic of the experience, very apt for a film inspired by the magician Arthur Lloyd's thumb card index.
One of the real successes of Sliceland was that despite its low budget those involved really made it a great experience, with the huge workable robots and live music playing, they really made the atmosphere a successes. I am loosing focus so shall leave this particular post going back to the pocket theatre film which if you can find it online you should really have a look at it is really very good.
Extract from CCA Website
A magician pulls seemingly random images from his pocket, including family photographs, playing cards and film stills, arranging and rearranging them in mid air. Inspired by the 1930’s magician Arthur Lloyd, the so-called Human Card Index, Froment plays with illusion and the authority of visual communication.
