The Man Who Saved The World mentioned in this months Wire magazine

The Man Who Saved The World was mentioned in this months edition of The Wire:

While Leeds' recent high profile commissions] are worthy they appear to be weighed down by their civic duty, and are vulnerable to cuts in the current economic climate. In contrast, one cannot underestimate the importance of self-funded events such as The Man Who Saved The World, a daring film/gig event featuring Home of the Brave, a Morricone-inspired jazz Improv outfit featuring Joost Hendrixx (drums), Seth Bennett (bass), Richard Ormrod (sax) and Jonny Flockton (guitar). The project finds the group placed at the centre of a vast vacated TK Maxx store, surrounded by a ten-screen recombination of a film dubbed The Turkish Star Wars, chopped up and re-presented by Eoin Shea. The original material itself is a bizarre mash-up of men with tinfoil swords running around a desert intercut with stolen frames from Star Wars, the perfect backdrop for the Spaghetti Western surrealism of Home of the Brave.

Thank you to Bruce Davies.

The Man Who Saved The World - The old TK Maxx shopping space, 23rd Spetember, Leeds

The Man Who Saved The World is a one night event curated by Eoin Shea. Home of the Brave will be performing their free-jazz infected renditions of the classic western theme tunes to a ten screen circular cinema of geometrically edited versions of Dunyari Kurtaran Adam (known also as Turkish Star Wars for the directors shameless use of scenes from Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope in place of otherwise unaffordable original special effects). Derek Horton has written a specially commissioned text, We're all astronauts, always have been..., which will be available on the night in a hand-bound edition of 100.

The event will take place in the 22,000 sq foot abandoned shell of the former TK Maxx shopping space in Leeds city centre.
