A seventy two minute film by Russian director Georgy Paradzhanov which was inspired by author-designer Sergai Davitiaya and the official Russian information agency, Novosti, cleverly used newsreel and contemporary images to mirror the haunting themes of the music. Projection was by two Barco projectors running overlaid images.
Another Harkness Hall screen, measuring 14.8m by 9.5m featured in an earlier Flux Events open air production in London's Trafalgar Square, the screening of the film Potemkin, with music by the Pet Shop Boys. Harkness Hall produces a range of event screens in a variety of surface materials, for front and rear projection, with sizes up to 29m wide.
