Amiel Courtin-Wilson: Breaking Waves
A multi-screen film installation that charts the life's work of Melbourne-born composer Percy Grainger.
Overview
The latest artistic endeavour from experimental filmmaker Amiel Courtin-Wilson, best known for his divisive features Ruin and Hail, Breaking Waves is a multi-screen installation that charts the life's work and obsession of a kindred spirit: Melbourne-born composer Percy Grainger. On display at the Ian Potter Museum of Art throughout the duration of this year's Melbourne Festival, the film combines fragments of Grainger's music along with high speed, close-up cinematography. The end result aims to provide "an impressionistic gateway into the motivations that drove a singular artist".
