THE LOST WORLD | Live: Ugress

Dinosaurs, volcanic eruptions, intrigue, and romance in an action-packed adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle - with live music by force of nature Ugress!

The creator of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle also wrote books in genres other than detective fiction, including the series about Dr. Challenger. The first book about the zoologist Challenger, The Lost World, was inspired both by Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth and by reports from the explorers of the time. In an attempt to impress his sweetheart, a journalist joins the supposedly mad professor and his companions on an expedition to a remote plateau in the Amazon, where dinosaurs are said to still exist. The 1925 film adaptation largely follows the novel, but Conan Doyle’s adventurous tale has also inspired numerous other films, from King Kong and Jurassic Park to Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and Up.

The Music

Electronic musician, composer, and producer Gisle Martens Meyer, better known by his stage name Ugress, will perform the music live for the screening.

Meyer is a Norwegian media artist. His work for stage, screen and new media is closely integrated with – and dealing with the challenges of – new technology, social media and digital culture. Questions are raised in a surreal, quirky and playful aesthetic, where apparent naive escapism glides on the surface of serious, contemporary undercurrents. Meyer started out as a touring artist with his pop-electronica project Ugress in the early 2000s. The debut album Resound (2002) was nominated for best new-comer at the Norwegian National Music Awards, followed by years of extensive European touring. The music of Ugress is frequently licensed to film, TV and video games, which developed a natural path towards directly composing and producing for moving images and live stage. Meyer now works as a performing artist and composer for film, TV, games and contemporary stage. His current main focus is on commissioned works for contemporary stage, and new live scores for silent film classics.
