"Awesome in a word."   Time Out

   

Françoise project produced their live cinema show ‘The Eye of the Pilot’ which remixes the personal 8mm archive of French airline pilot Raymond Lamy (her father!) which he filmed during his travels in the 1950's. The performance is a musical and visual travelogue with an original soundtrack by the group featuring live guitar from Alejandro de Valera, and takes the audience to places such as Ivory Coast, Saigon, Tahiti and San Francisco, capturing the romantic innocence of the world at a time when travelling with a home movie camera was still highly unusual.

  

‘The Eye of the Pilot’ has been performed over 25 times from venues such as London’s National Theatre (for a special event on their roof terrace outdoors by the Thames) and the Cork Opera House (for the opening Gala night of the 50th Cork Int'l Film Festival in Ireland), to the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the San Francisco Int'l Film Festival. Other performances of the project included at SIGGRAPH '06 in the USA, the Design Innovation Awards in Moscow and at the Museum of Applied Arts in Cologne, Germany, for the C/O Pop music conference.

Artists included Tim Hope, Run Wrake, Coldcut, Paris Hair, eMovie, VJ Milosh, Miss Kittin, Plump DJs, Matthew Dear, Scanner, DJ Spooky and many more.
