Sound and Vision

During the coming months Watershed presents a range of music-related cinema and events – see watershed.co.uk/music for further details. To coincide with this, Electric Cinema explores the archives to highlight work in which moving image and music are inextricably linked – from music video and short film to live improvised soundtracks.
