Brass Eye / Blue Jam’s Chris Morris will debut a new short film called ‘My Wrongs’ at Pulp’s Sheffield based Auto Festival next month. According to the NME the film is about “a man who no longer uses his name because he's decided he has ceased to deserve one, and a dog called Rothko” – being a Morris product it is likely to be a tad surreal and somewhere nearing brilliant. Actor Pad dy Considine who plays the lead in the film, will introduce it when it is screened at the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield on 13 Dec.
The music part of the Auto Festival, organised by Pulp bassist Steve Mackey, will take place at the Magna Science Adventure Centre between Sheffield and Rotherham on 14 Dec with Royksopp, Lemon Jelly, LFO, Four Tet, The Bees, and The Kills all lined up to play.
The film part also includes a screening of 'Flex', a collaboration between director Chris Cunningham and Aphex Twin, a docu-feature by Canadian Alan Zweig about obsessive record collectors, and a discussion between Jarvis Cocker and film-maker John Smith.
