Frenchman Bruno Cavellec has written the soundtrack for an award-winning videopoetry film. Cavellec, who also goes by the moniker ‘Mablanig’ for music-related projects, made a significant contribution to the film ‘Nine Moons’, which recently won the award for ‘Best International Poetry Short’ at the Bloomsday Film Festival in Dublin. Cavellec collaborated with director Janet Lees, with the two of them working together to produce a nine minute ‘videopoetry triptych’.
Speaking about the film, Janet said: ‘This was an ambitious project and a true multidisciplinary collaboration from the start. Pictures show 'jubilant atmosphere' at Laa Columb Killey festival Hit musical Jersey Boys set for ten show run on the Isle of Man Plans to transform 19th century Isle of Man farm into new Manx language centre We asked people in the streets what their favourite summer events on the island are ‘Mablanig is also a well-known painter, and his paintings have always touched me deeply. ‘It’s the same with his music.
There’s something he does, an interweaving of darkness and light, sorrow and bliss, whether in paint or musical notes, that completely resonates with me. His voice is quietly devastating. ‘We set out to make a triptych, incorporating Mablanig’s music and painting, my poetry and film/photography and both of our voices.
’ Janet used to live in the island and her mother’s family is Manx, while Bruno has been living and working in Peel since 2011. Because .
