"We’re delighted to announce a rare audiovisual performance by acclaimed film director and video artist Chris Cunningham, whose videos for everyone from The Aphex Twin to Madonna need no introduction. This is one of a handful of festivals Chris Cunningham will play across the globe this summer. Chris Cunningham Live is a 55 minute performance, combining original and remixed music and film. It features remixed, unreleased and brand new videos and music, dynamically edited together into a new live piece spread over 3 screens." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9h248U7YQQ
         

Anyone have the full thing? The utube clip above seems to feature footage from the discarded 'female' rubber johnny.

         

This man needs to make more videos, better yet a feature film. I'll take some of the money Gondry is getting for his features and deposit it in Chris' pocket. Long overdue. Give this man a chance.

         

It's not like he's not getting opportunities. From what I've heard directly, the guy just cannot deal with anyone interfering in any way with his work.

In regards to his most noted collabo with Gibson, his wiki reads:

Films

Neuromancer In 2000, Cunningham and William Gibson began work on the script for Gibson's novel Neuromancer. However because Neuromancer was due to be a big budget Studio film it is rumoured that Cunningham pulled out due to being a first time director without final cut approval. He also felt that too much of the original book's ideas had been cannibalised by other recent films.

On November 18, 2004, in the FAQ on the William Gibson Board, Gibson was asked: Q: Is it true there's a movie of Neuromancer in the works? A: Perpetually, it seems, and going on a quarter of a century now. The most recently rumoured version, to have been directed by Chris Cunningham, is now definitely not happening.[9]

In an August 1999 Spike Magazine interview, Gibson stated "He (Chris) was brought to my attention by someone else. We were told, third-hand, that he was extremely chary of the Hollywood process, and wouldn't return calls. But someone else told us that Neuromancer had been his Wind In The Willows, that he'd read it when he was a kid. I went to London and we met." Gibson is also quoted in the article as saying "Chris is my own 100 per cent personal choice...My only choice. The only person I've met who I thought might have a hope in hell of doing it right. I went back to see him in London just after he'd finished the Bjork video, and I sat on a couch beside this dead sex little Bjork robot, except it was wearing Aphex Twin's head. We talked."[10]

It is rumoured that in Gibson's 2003 novel Pattern Recognition that the character Damien Pease was based on Chris Cunningham with the character's apartment featuring a female robot which had appeared in one of his videos.

Feature Films and Production Company Development funding was in place for Cunningham to direct and co-write his first feature film for Warp Films, with whom Chris was at the time committed to "for all future full-length film projects." He has since left Warp Films to set up his own production company 'CC Co' to produce his films independently.

         

Thanks for sharing that, Lusk. Good informative info. Hope he gets a feature rolling sooner than later.
