The Exposures festival is the UK’s leading festival of student moving image work, which takes place every year in Manchester, at Cornerhouse.

EXPOSURES FILM FESTIVAL FEATURE (BEN MONAGHAN)

In partnership with The Cornerhouse, Spanish Language School Instituto Cervantes helps to put together the iVIVA! Spanish and Latin American Film Festival.

INSTITUTO CERVANTES FEATURE (BEN MONAGHAN)

This 15 minute documentary is designed as the first pilot episode of a six part series called Music: Response. This episode follows two stories of music and loss. I talk to Nick Coleman, music journalist, editor, and writer of his Sudden Neurosensory Hearing Loss memoir ‘The Train in the Night’. I meet Comedian and Classical Composer Rainer Hersch to discuss his positive approach towards dealing with hearing loss. And I attempt to grasp the notion of, and discover the exactitudes, of music’s complex relationship with the brain. 

MUSIC: RESPONSE - How do you Lose Music?

This is a piece I produced for the May Cornerhouse Podcast after interviewing Egyptian artist Khaled Hafez, in which he talks about his work featured within the superb group exhibition Subversion, at the Cornerhouse Gallery.
