Hydra Decapita - Drexciya related film?

March 6, 2012

Just came across this:

Quote
From 1993 to 2002, the Detroit based electronic music duo Drexciya released an influential series of recordings that imagined a fictional world system entitled Drexciya, populated by the subaquatic descendants of Africans drowned by slavers during the Middle Passage. The fabulation of Drexciya provides the point of departure for Hydra Decapita, the new work by The Otolith Group that summons a series of spectres of capital in order to convene a seance that immerses audiences within an affective evocation of contemporary economic abstraction.

Apart from this there's very little information about it apart from the fact that there's been a couple of screenings and a follow up has been made which I'm hoping to see in May. Would anyone else have any more info on this or even better give me any info where I could watch it? Seems bizarre that a film that looks like it really looks in depth into their ideas and music has hardly any information on it whatsoever.

This issue of the wire has a detailed write up and interview with the otolith group about the project. Also, there's a contribution from the guy that runs drexciya reseach labs reviewing all drexicya-related lp's. Worth a buy.
