Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?
Dir. Nicolas Philibert
Documentary of La Borde clinic in France and its radical politics of experimentation, in which residents and staff reciprocate in a kind of entanglement, an opening up amongst themselves.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!

4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
