Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.

A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.

Cask-strength electrohypnol/ shroom damaged folk croonings by Lapsed Electronics empire builder responsible for recent Tremors blowouts.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
