UPDATE 14/09/10:
**Powaqqatsi Shows Cancelled**
With great regret, we announce that the live performance of Hidden Orchestra along to the film Powaqqatsi as part of Scottish charity TakeOneAction’s Film Festival, due to take place on 25th Sept at the Edinburgh Filmhouse, and 27th Sept at the GFT, have had to be cancelled, due to reasons beyond the control of the organisers, band and venues.
More detailed reasons on why this has happened will be released as soon as possible.

Joe has been commissioned to create an original Hidden Orchestra score for the classic Godfrey Reggio film Powaqqatsi (originally scored by Philip Glass), to be performed live in cinemas by Hidden Orchestra in September, as part of the Take One Action film festival.

The commission from Take One Action (“Scotland’s global action cinema project”) is in conjunction with TenTracks.co.uk, and has been part-funded by Creative Scotland (formerly the Scottish Arts Council).

The main performances will be on 25th September (Edinburgh Filmhouse) and 27th September (Glasgow Film Theatre), with a preview performance of the first half of the film on 29th August at The Roxy Room (Roxy Arthouse), as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
