The Eye of the Pilot

The Eye of the Pilot is live cinema performance by Addictive TV, featuring live guitar from French composer Alejandro de Valera.

Remixing live the incredible personal colour archive of French airline pilot, Raymond Lamy, filmed during his travels in the 1950s, Addictive TV's The Eye of the Pilot is a musical and visual travelogue with an original soundtrack by the group.

The journey takes the audience to places such as Karachi, Ivory Coast, Saigon, Tahiti and San Francisco, capturing the romantic innocence of the world at a time when travelling with a home-movie camera was still highly unusual. The performance gives a rare glimpse into the beginnings of a world that we all now take for granted, where the recording of images and international travel are common place.
