The Museum of Memory

John Maybury 's film is a complex visual meditation on the idea of memory at the end of the 20th century. Using state-of-the-art video effects, the work takes as its starting point an imaginary debate between Antonin Artaud and Edie Sedgwick chaired by visionary designer and eighties counter-cultural icon Leigh Bowery. With this work, Maybury, who wrote and directed the Francis Bacon biography Love Is the Devil, has taken a deliberately antithetical position to the film theory of Dogma popularised by recent art-house releases such as Festen and The Idiots. Starring Daniel Craig and Heile Makatsch , with the voice of Sir Derek Jacobi plus a soundtrack by Daniel Goddard. Contains strobing effects in parts. Producer Keith Griffiths
