About Me

Hello friends,
As you may have already been informed, the scarifying Film Ficciones/Pram installation THE DIVINE EDGAR has been shortlisted for the Birmingham Fierce Festival from the 23-26th May....but we really need your votes to make sure we get through, so that we can return this unique one-person show to the grave!
The link below will take you straight to the info page for our show, and you can watch a short promo video - we would of course be extremely grateful if you could post a vote for us (and two other shows) over the next 5 days In fact, you're allowed to vote once every day!
Here's the link:
Vote for the Divine Edgar!!!
Many thanks in advance for your support, and please forward this to anyone else who is a fan of Tim-Burton-esque victorian fairground rides!
Scott and Matt Film Ficciones/Pram

------------------------------------------
Birmingham’s Pram craft fairytales from concrete reality. The second city’s spin cycle of perpetual renovation, from the slum clearances to its current cosmetic upgrade, is etched in Pram’s restless groove, an endearing and gently refusenik mix encircling early Rough Trade innovators The Raincoats, astro jazz, sci-fi soundtracks, creepy Victoriana, tropical analogue and tumbledown funk.
Born of an aesthetic universe where the senses are excited equally by the dust encrusted revolutions of antique lounge LPs as the wild and wonderful facts packing the yellowed pages of musty encyclopaedias, where a nostalgia for the future meets a fascination for a past that never was, Pram are drawn to the fantastic and exotic ends of the ordinary world.
Their canon conjures evocative locations like the Sargasso Sea, The North Pole Radio Stations, The Museum Of Imaginary Animals, out-of-bounds places to where imagination has been exiled, lying in wait for souls hardy enough to attempt the hazardous expedition. With Pram as your guide, armchair adventuring has never been so mysterious, beguiling or enticing.
