The pair will appear as guests in the Massive Attack vs Adam Curtis collaboration at this year’s MIF.
The shows, which runs 4-13 July, has previously been billed as ‘a collective hallucination’ and will be staged at the Mayfield Depot in Manchester before moving to Germany and New York later this year.
In a blog post, filmmaker Adam Curtis said: ‘We've used film, music, stories and ideas to try and do this - to build a new kind of experience. The best way we can describe it is "a Gilm" - a new way of integrating a gig with a film that has a powerful overall narrative and emotional individual stories.’
‘It tells a story about how a new system of power has risen up in the modern world to manage and control us. A rigid and static system that has found in those images and sounds a way of enveloping us in a thin two-dimensional version of the past.’
The piece, which feature’s Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja alongside the BAFTA award winning film maker, was specially commissioned for MIF.
