Experimental Video Art Inspired By "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe
The latest video from filmmaker Richard C. Ledes, in collaboration with dancer and interdisciplinary artist Alisha Trimble, is inspired by Poe's story The Masque Of The Red Death and its relevance to our experience of the pandemic today. Using video art to create a mesmerizing visual experience, the piece combines dance, music and color. Because of the challenges of Covid 19, filmmaker Ledes used an iPhone 11 to record Zoom sessions of artist Trimble dancing and also creating the costumes designed specifically for this piece. The music commissioned for the video is composed by French musician/composer Louis Moutin, co-founder of the Moutin Factory Quintet. The quintet is one of the most innovative and exciting jazz quintets playing modern post-bop jazz today. This music underscores the contemporary resonance of Poe's classic story.
Director, producer and writer Richard C. Ledes' film FRED WON'T MOVE OUT was named by the BFI (British Film Institute) one of the 10 essential films of legendary actor Elliott Gould (MASH, THE LONG GOODBYE). Ledes' film THE CALLER won Best NY Narrative Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Alisha Trimble is a known leader in designing sustainable fashion. Her work has been featured in ELLE, WWD, The New York Post, Creem, Stylist, L'Officiel, Racked, and Grazia.
The video will be a YouTube Premiere at 11am on November 11th, with additional opportunities that same day to speak and interact with the artists online about their working process. Website: http://www.themasquepoe.com.
