YORKIE - ALONE

In the early years of the 20th Century, the Futurist Cinema in Liverpool - having been allowd to fall into ruins - was threatened with demolition. My friend Yorkie managed to gain access to the derelict building and did a live show there. Kim Ryan organized me, Chris Bernard, and Ian Freeman into a makeshift crew, and we filmed the events. I was a camera operator, and quite drunk. The Futurist was entirely destroyed by developers a few years back. But this video reminds me of another great Liverpool edifice erased by stupidity and greed, of great films in 70mm, and of a fine show by Yorkie. You can see interiors of the Futurist in the companion videos - YORKIE - DUST and IN & OUT OF LOVE.
