We are so excited to have @josephwilsonfilms award winning ‘Isn’t it a Beautiful World’ screen at MOVED @turnercontemporary this Wednesday 5.30-9. Isn’t It A Beautiful World is a short film that, through lipsyncing, depcits the traumatising stories of queer performers Soroya, Harry & Kenya and their emotional journey to adulthood. The film takes the audience on a journey through metaphorical locations to explore themes of loneliness, anxiety, addiction and recovery, all common issues within the LGBT+ community. The performers lip-sync to Delia Derbyshire’s “Falling”, a collection of reassembled interviews of people describing their dreams, arranged in a setting of pure electronic sounds. Locations, including an abandoned school, an old police station and a dilapidated mobile home, depict a mix between childhood ideals + emulate loneliness/isolation. Developed with the support of FLAMIN, Arts Council England and Pink Noise. Director Joseph Wilson is a queer artist, activist and drag performer, living amongst the eclectic East London community. His work explores LGBTQ+ narratives, taking inspiration from his own lived experiences as well as documenting the people and places around him, amplifying their voices and celebrating their stories through his art.
