## [Green (Un)Pleasant Land at CCANW Exeter](https://animate.org.uk/editorial/2006/07/green-unpleasant-land-at-ccanw-exeter/)

**Saturday 2 September 2006 19:30**

In a suitably rural forest setting just outside of Exeter, animate! and Halloween join forces to present a spectacular multi-media event mixing film and live music at the brand-new *Centre for Contemporary Art and the Natural World*.

The Memory Band, featuring Stephen Cracknell plus special guests, present a live soundtrack to the 70s occult thriller classic [The Wicker Man](http://www.steve-p.org/wm/) (Robin Hardy, UK 1973, 85 min) and re-create the haunting mystical [score](http://www.garycarpenter.net/archive/wicker.htm) originally written by Paul Giovanni including the infamous *Willow’s Song*.

This is followed by a selection of animate! commissions offering unexpected aspects of landscape and the countryside, with the recent multi-award-winning **Rabbit** using 1950’s educational stickers in a macabre and mystical short story matching the rustic horror of **The Wicker Man**, plus two works from local Devon filmmaker Kayla Parker including **Sunset Strip**, her hand-made collage of 365 West Country sunsets.

The full list of short films: [Cage of Flame](https://animate.org.uk/films/cageofflame/) by Kayla Parker, [Flight](https://animate.org.uk/films/flight/) by Dryden Goodwin, [Jumping Joan](https://animate.org.uk/films/jumpingjoan/) by Petra Freeman, [Miles from Anywhere](https://animate.org.uk/films/milesfromanywhere/) by Gary Carpenter, [Rabbit](https://animate.org.uk/films/rabbit/) by Run Wrake and [Sunset Strip](https://animate.org.uk/films/sunsetstrip/) by Kayla Parker.
