Shot on location for the Manchester International Festival, aired on BBC4, this film, directed by FKA Twigs, shows the work she created and filmed on one day during her week-long residency.
Conceptualized as an abstract autobiographical piece,
Soundtrack 7 includes performances set to the tracks How's That, Ultraviolet, and Good to Love, among others, and bound together by a striking repeated recitation of Thomas Wyatt's poem I Find No Peace (an excerpt from which opened Twigs's critically acclaimed LP1)
