Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.

Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Performances at St Giles in the Fields, London by Jandek, Rhodri Davies & Angharad Davies, Rauhan Orkesteri.

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.
