A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Psychedelic and intense, and featuring some of the most visually stunning, mesmerizing and transcendent experiences you can imagine, batten down the hatches for some of the boldest, most immersive and abrasive works in experimental cinema.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
Every aspect of every film is always about more than just film. Or, as Godard said: a tracking shot is a moral issue. A cross between a festival, magazine and discussion about experimental artists’ films.
