Overview
Prepare for a night of audio-visual immersion, as one of Melbourne's coolest film collectives returns for another year. Not content to simply replicate a typical cinema experience, Hear My Eyes combines little-seen films with new and original scores, performed live by local music acts in unique venues and bars around town. For their first event of 2016, they're pairing local synth pop duo GL with Heartbeats, the ultra-stylish sophomore drama from Québécois wunderkind Xavier Dolan.
First released in 2010, the film explores the romantic rivalry that develops between best friends Francis (Dolan) and Marie (Monia Chokri) after they both become enamoured with the same man. It's a must-see film for lovers of world cinema, particularly those who've enjoy Dolan's subsequent efforts such as Laurence Anyways, Tom at the Farm and his recent masterpiece Mommy. GL, meanwhile, are no strangers to success themselves, having played Falls Festival, Meredith and Splendour, and supported the likes of Saskwatch, Shamir and Chet Faker.
