About
Manchester’s Vonnegut Collective treat us to an era-spanning double feature for NQ Jazz’s series of ‘seminal sci-fi’ film nights at The Yard. Group members Gemma Bass (violin), Gary Farr (trumpet), Norman Skipp (electronics), and Harry Percy (percussion), will improvise a live score to director/producer Mark Solter’s mysterious short ‘The Moon Smells Like Gunpowder’ (2019), before tackling ‘The Lost World’, a mid-twenties film adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel.
‘The Moon Smells Like Gunpowder’ follows a surveillance specialist on his final assignment, who finds his personal and professional worlds on an unstoppable collision course. The 28-minute short has won numerous film festival awards, including ‘Best Mystery Film’ at the 2019 Olympus Film Festival, and ‘Best Indie Film’ at the 2019 Los Angeles Film Awards. ...
