A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
This session focuses in on the defiant mutual aid practices of early and DIY feminist movements in the UK, that attempted to shift and radicalise care and kinship away from the domain of the nuclear family.
A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
A conversation about the movement for prison abolition and refusing the logic of race and sex that underpins the criminalisation and mass incarceration of communities.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.

Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
