WORDPLAY & THE LEGEND OF OCHI + ALL NEW MOVIE REVIEWS (CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW) 7-17-25

"Europa" the true story of Colette Soc and her journey into the icy depths of Jupiter’s moon and the discovery of life in our solar system is a documentary film co-produced by The BBC and Canal+ and narrated by Academy and BAFTA award-winning actress Ronan Arnault-Jones.  

After space-probe flybys, the first occurring in the early 1970s and lasting until the mid-21st century, we concluded the autonomous exploration of Jupiter’s moon Europa in 2122 by boring into its icy crust. What followed was a discovery of both organic molecules and a veritable soup of single-celled organisms which while more complex than bacteria, only vaguely resembled zooplankton.  In 2143 the Europa Station had established a permanent and sterile water lock on the surface and began a series of increasingly audacious manned dives into the icy depths of Europa. These first dives were all conducted by pioneering aquanaut Colette Sok. The documentary follows her journey into the moon’s dangerous and icy depths.

Europa director Jose Smalls and music supervisor Jason Royce approached Gravity, Inc. and requested that the duo compose the film score. When asked why he wished to work with the duo, Royce replied, "How could you not at least go to those guys?"

Presented on vinyl for the first time, the soundtrack is remastered by Emmy Award winning engineer Alexis Martin.

Europa (Original Soundtrack)

In late 19th century Hammersmith, two titans of the printing scene, Emery Walker and Thomas Cobden-Sanderson, form a deep friendship. They hang out at the same printing events and socialist meetings, they move into houses four doors apart, they work in the same building, their families go on holidays together.

Then in 1900, they set up the ground breaking Doves Press together - whereupon their friendship swiftly implodes, and they spend the rest of the decade fighting over the custody of their in-house typeface, Doves. And then things get even uglier.

Souvenirs explores broken friendship, typefaces, lost words, self-destruction, and the legacies we didn’t intend to leave. With type designer Robert Green.

Written and performed by The Allusionist’s Helen Zaltzman, with an original score by Martin Austwick (performed by him and Adrienne LaBelle, violin).

First broadcast 22nd July 2025, BBC Radio 4
Produced by Helen Zaltzman and Martin Austwick
