Includes: a polish counting lesson, around NYC with D A Pennebaker, a portrait of a tower block, a man with a spade, at home with KYTN regular Guy Sherwin, a cinematic Blair Witchish cut-up and a song for some swings.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.

A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.

A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years

An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
