WHAT IS A GROUP?
Musician Ian Svenonius (Nation of Ulysses, The Make-Up, Chain & The Gang) channels his unique perspective, vision and style into a new medium with his first film. The 30-minute sci-fi short, WHAT IS A GROUP?, is a treatise on the music industry as explored by two aliens making an anthropological survey of the planet Earth. The film utilizes archival images and a fantastic soundtrack in a way that only Mr. Svenonius can. The Filmslang screening is only the 2nd public showing of this new work.
