This November Dr Lighthouse had the opportunity to again collaborate with the good people at The Front Room on an opening event for the 2017 Darkfest called Cure or be Cured. The festival is going from strength to strength and the scale of the event staged in October at Southsea Castle was breathtaking.

What is presented here is a collection of photos taken on the night by Samira Backhaus who kindly offered to cover the event. It has been edited to some music that seemed suitable at the time and kind of works. It is only an illustration of the event and doesn’t include everything that went on. Hopefully the forthcoming video will be more comprehensive.
Dr Lighthouse played an important part in the night illuminating the courtyard of Southsea Castle with his own projections especially created for the night as well as those of other performers. Working in collaboration with writers and performers from Portsmouth he produced a series of vignettes that threaded throughout the night and gave structure to the theme for the event.
Currently ready the film for release as a six minute short Dr Lighthouse said “that this as defiantly a highlight of the year and the opportunity to produce a new film and screen it as part of the event was very much appreciated”. Hopefully there will be more collaborations of this sort in 2018.
Watch this space!
