What kind of listening and acknowledging do we offer each other? What is it to listen to an ‘elsewhere’, and do we ever do anything else when we listen to music?
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
For day three of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by Nancy Nevárez.
Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.
A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.

Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.

Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
