Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Sarah Washington uses electronics and wind-up radios, running out of charge to repsond to the festivals’ Self Cancellation provocation.

A celebration of the release of four books written by members of, and focused on about the House and Ballroom scene.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
