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.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Elizabeth’s writing pulls apart toxic settler colonialism and the worldview used to justify it; working towards an alternative distribution of powers, so that ways of being otherwise can endure.
In Our Hands is a nine week programme of workshops exploring radical approaches to health and collective care in the movement for liberation and social justice.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Three intimate 45 minute sessions, reading your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.
One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).
