How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
What is happening when systems of repression try to grasp communities’ ways of being, living or surviving, applying laws of sexuality, gender or race to cast them as criminal?
Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties. Watch out for Kren’s structural, throbbing investigation of a forest and Baillie’s intimate and humble essay on a blind guitarist and the relationship between songs of Mexican revolutionaries and the people and places they looked to inspire.

A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.

Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
