Stereoactive Media presents the 17th official entry in its music catalog – a three part original score for Bicentennial, a short film by theJLM.
Through a stream of evocative images and an original ambient score, Bicentennial is a 23 minute experimental short film that takes inspiration from 3 of the best films ever made, which all happen to have been released in 1976. Each of its 3 parts explores themes around those movies by way of critically examining the pernicious unreality of the so-called "American Dream" – with its concepts of lonely rugged individualism and capitalistic success that, rather than inspire, may only do more to keep us separated from both our power as a people and our own personal inner peace.
As of the release date for this score, the short film is out for consideration at film festivals and therefore cannot be publicly viewed. But you can watch the trailer for the film here...
The full score is available to buy and stream on the recently launched, creator-owned platform, Subvert.fm, as well as on Bandcamp.
The score is also available on Soundcloud, Apple Music, Spotify (for now, at least), and YouTube Music.
