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?
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
A performed reflection on Malin’s previous re-enacting of a super influential landmark of performance art from the French feminist and artist Gina Pane.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
