Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
Discussion with David Keenan: an author, critic and musician based in Glasgow, Scotland. He is best known for the reviews and features he has contributed to The Wire.
Inspired by Delany’s Aye, and Gomorra. A spookily filmic world where asexual bodies live in the contradiction of their unarousable loneliness and desire for intimacy and contact.

Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
