A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is screening as part of the Psymphony film season which aims to explore the inner landscapes of characters’ minds through the immersive power of sound. This collection of films delves into how sound design and music shape our perception of altered realities, emotional turmoil, and psychological fragmentation. Accompanying the features in the season are four experimental short films from the 40s, 50s and 60s which contextualise the development and creativity in film sound for decades.

+ Short - Bridges Go Round (1958) by Shirley Clarke (7mins 30sec)
Bridges Go Round is an experimental short film made by filmmaker Shirley Clarke. The film consists of eerie, beautiful shots of New York bridges and was created from leftover footage from other projects. Clarke creates a dreamlike quality with the colouring of the film and montage. There were two soundtracks created for Bridges Go Round, when the original had rights issues Jazz producer Teo Macero stepped in for a replacement. The eclectic jazz score elevates the chaotic energy Clarke creates with these vivid images.
