Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
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 dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
All ticket income goes directly to We Will Rise – a group of migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and their allies who have come together to End Immigration Detention in the UK.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.
Introducing and setting intentions for a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
