Sunday 22. February

16.00 - 17.00 (berlin time)
Radio On Craig Baldwin

Live interview with legendary American experimental filmmaker, Craig Baldwin, currently in Berlin touring with his newest film, Mock Up On Mu, a fictional story based heavily on the real facts of the lives of L. Ron Hubbard, Marjorie Cameron, Lockheed Martin, Aleister Crowley, and Jack Parsons.

Baldwin uses “found” footage from the fringes of popular consciousness as well as images from the mass media to undermine and transform the traditional documentary, infusing it with the energy of high-speed montage and a provocative commentary that targets subjects from intellectual property rights to rampant consumerism.

The BBC gave the Feature Creature a mention:

"Among the most spectacular events to be staged in the UK (for World Book Day) was the mounting of a giant helium filled model at London's Tate Modern museum. The model showed a pair of eyes and six metre long lips reading out loud".

as did Lycos News Channel & London Tonight:

"The promotion is part of a range of events held across the country to mark the biggest ever World Book Day. Perhaps the most spectacular is the giant helium filled model of a pair of eyes and six metre long lips seen reading out loud at London's Tate Modern museum."
