Image: Birchville Cat Motel at this year's SoundTracks 5This year you can expect to see The Timeless Sounds in all their surreal glory scoring the teenage directing debut of film legend Roger Mirams, The Gangsters come to Christchurch. Those of you who fondly recall 80's afternoons on the commodore 64 will warm to the sounds of Disasteradio's Luke Rowell as he creates a new soundtrack for a bizarre rugby instructional film from 1930 entitled Control 0:01:01. The event will also feature a much-awaited performance from the prolific Campbell Kneale as Birchville Cat Motel and experimental hero Brian Crook. If you happen to be one of the unfortunate few who has missed past performances from such luminaries as Rosy Parlane and Cortina's Rebekah Coogan you can stop by the Film Archive's new Mediaplex (Cnr Taranaki and Ghuznee St's) for SoundTracks Redux an exhibition featuring footage from SoundTracks 1-4.

SoundTracks 5 takes place on Wednesday November 24th at Shed 11. Doors open at 8pm. Entry by koha. Soundtracks Redux: Music for film plays a the Film Archive Mediaplex from Friday 19th Novemeber. Entry is free.
