An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.
Joan La Barbara presents works exploring the colour spectrum of a single pitch resonating in her skull, an evocation of bird song and circular singing.
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties.

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).

An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
