LEISURE MACHINE

 

Starring Clare St Clare and directed by Jim Batt, Leisure Machine is a multi award-winning film exploring the vision of the isolation caused by a society which values the artificial over the real. Inspired by themes raised in Hans Christian Anderson’s morality tale ‘The Emperor and the Nightingale’ and Phillip K. Dicks dystopian novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep”.

Music recordings, photos and film footage were captured in 2015 then held in a time capsule as part of an ongoing collaborative - Clare St Clare’s TIME MACHINE. Since its release in August 2021 on the independent film festival circuit, Leisure Machine has won over 25 awards for Best Music Video, Best Short Film, Best Costume and Best Actress in a Music Video.
