Event: The Lost Record screening, 12 December, 7pm, The Horse Hospital + Q&A with Ian Svenonius

The Lost Record is a unique movie by Ian Svenonious (frontman of post-punk band The Make-Up) and Alexandra Cabral about a girl’s relationship to a record she finds, a valueless ‘lost record’ from the cut-out bin, which she brings to wider attention; first to her friends and then to mass culture. 

The lost record she finds is obscure, unknown, and different than other records in that it talks to the listener. The girl and the record develop a very close relationship but tension arises; the Record urges her to turn her friends on to it, play it at parties, etc, while the girl would rather keep their thing intimate, to herself. 

The Lost Record is a film about art, music, fetish, creation, popularity, fame, love, value, money, property, and records and as bright, sleek and stylish as the finest of porky’s prime cuts. 

After the screening Ian will be in conversation with the author Travis Elborough and signing advance copies of his latest book, Against the Written Word: Toward a Universal Illiteracy – ‘an omega to the Gutenberg Bible’s alpha’.
