Voted the best comedy of all time, Billy Wilder's 1959 classic opens in Prohibition-era Chicago where two speakeasy musicians, Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) unfortunately witness a mob shooting and need to get out of town as soon as possible to escape murder.

Sweet Sue and her all-girl Society Syncopators are about to leave the Windy City and head to Miami by train. They need a saxophone player and a bassist to complete the band. Joe and Jerry disguise themselves as Josephine and Daphne and join singer Sugar (Marilyn Monroe) on board.

Motifs from the realm of neoclassical architecture dance and evolve on screen, tracing a journey from the ancient, analogue and physical, to the modern, digital and abstract. Craft techniques such as tiling, mosaic, marquetry, weave and stitch all originated as mathematical pattern structures and here are brought full circle, ‘re-encoded’ as algorithms.

Atmosphere is our most popular research and event programme. First premiered at the 2010 Edinburgh International Film Festival, it re-imagines the concept of Atmospheric movie theaters from the 1920s and 30s.

Each expanded screening uses a team of guest artists and creatives to work with technology old and new, multi-sensory interactives and live elements too. Expect some smoke and mirrors, before the bells and whistles.

Explore the Alt-w Fund archive here.

Initiated in Dundee by Scottish Screen, the Alt-w Fund is for practitioners based in Scotland to make and develop new artworks, devices and creative applications that challenge the notions of what new media creativity can be.

The fund supports artists to explore experimental and interactive practice, make use of technology as both medium and message, and recognise the changing role that digital culture has in our society.
