Description

Northern Ireland Screen invited four artists to respond to the films within the Digital Film Archive. The Looking Glass Anthology is a collection of beautiful works by a range of musicians and poets that capture what the archives mean to them on a personal level.  

Eoin O’Callaghan is Elma Orkestra. The Derry-based composer creates beautiful electronic cinematic music that explores Northern Irish culture and emotions. In partnership with Ryan Vail, he released Borders, a magnificent album of atmospheric pieces and winner of the 2019 Northern Ireland Album of the Year Music Prize. Borders challenges geographic and internal borders with some of the music a product of collaboration with other creatives such as poet Stephen James Smith.

Elma Orkestra has created a vision using the Digital Film Archive to reinterpret ‘Arrival’, one of the tracks from this amazing album. Looking anew at his own music in the light of the films within the archive, this is an exciting aural and visual treat.
