Fieri will perform the world premiere of A Short Walk by Ben Rowarth with a newly commissioned film produced by Helvetica Films and directed by Sophia Carr-Gomm. Inspired by themes of isolation, mental health crises, and what it means to belong, this music-film collaboration follows the journey of an individual both physically, mentally and spiritually as they travel through the four chapters of music in search for home.
Specially written for the eight voices of Fieri Consort, the project takes the music as its starting point. Winner of the NCEM Composers Award (2012) and Leeds International Film Festival Best Documentary Soundtrack (2013), Ben Rowarth has received numerous international commissions, radio plays and commercial recordings.
This is a Genesis Kickstarter Fund project, supported by the Genesis Foundation.
This online event features interviews with the composer Ben Rowarth and the film director Sophia Carr-Gomm and lead actor Peter Faulkner.
