100 people, 100 songs, 100 places, 100 dances.

World premiere screening of Boombox Eryri (final cut) a film produced by Migrations, inspired by New York based performer and art director Ely Kim's Boombox and recreated with the people of north Wales. In collaboration with Austrian artist David Subal, Migrations filmed 100 people dancing to their favourite music in their favourite place in rural Conwy.
The resulting short film is a celebration of dancing, rural Conwy and its communities.

The accompanying documentary Boombox Eyri People will also be screened, filmed by Eilir Pierce and featuring many of the projects' participants.

How it all happened...

The project started when Migrations' Director, Karine Décorne, fell in love with Ely Kim's original Boombox film where he surreptitiously films himself dancing in a hundred different public locations. The team began to dream of making a version of the film rooted in our own community. So, with help from Austrian artist David Subal, film-maker Eilir Pearce and one hundred willing people of all ages, professions, musical tastes and dance styles we spent an intensive few weeks madly traversing the Welsh countryside dancing and filming by lakes, up mountains, under waterfalls, on cricket pitches, in back gardens, farmyards, hidden huts and high street shops. Then, while the rest of the team took a breather, Eilir carefully selected brief moments from each session and edited together a fast paced short film... minus the final scene.
Ely Kim then flew over from the USA to join the participants, friends and family in a disco celebration in Llanrwst, We played the chosen music from the film and, in keeping with the original Boombox, filmed the final scene of our own film - everyone dancing together!
Eilir then made the final cut of Boombox Eryri and also created a documentary featuring many of the particpants in the project.
