Name: The Opening Ceremony Of The 1980 Moscow Olympics As Televised By HSV Channel 7
Released: 1982-06-16
Duration: 10 min

1982, English. Directed by Philip Brophy.

A short Super 8 film by → ↑ → which is exactly what the title says. The focus of the film, though, is the audiovisual effects generated by placing an alternative soundtrack to the original images. The spoken fragments are snippets of commentary remembered from watching the broadcast, making the film a deconstruction not only of the original broadcast, but also of the experience of watching the broadcast. The droning layers of built-up synthesizer noise obliterate the expected musical spectacle. This film set the agenda for Philip Brophy's altered/reworked soundtracks in numerous films and videos since: from 1982's Ads through to the 2000-2015 cycle Evaporated Music.
