64 2023

The 64th and final concert

Directed by James Hankins

A film documenting EP/64-64, the 64th and final concert of Dali de Saint Paul’s EP/64 project, an epic comprising fourteen improvised live performances by musician/projectionist combos, held over two days at the Arnolfini, Bristol, in late May 2022. Following the unplanned format of EP/64 concerts, director James Hankins put a call out before the show for 64 fans to record anything they could from these final performances. Everything you see and hear was filmed over that final weekend. EP/64 was initiated following a dream Dali had about in which she was in a record shop, looking for an LP by an ‘ephemeral project’ lasting exactly 64 concerts before disbanding. Between 2016-2022 the project enlisted a wide range of experimental musicians and artists to perform in Bristol, the UK and Europe, and released a number of the resulting recordings on labels like Avon Terror Corps and Permanent Draft.
