Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Summer Solstice hang out IRL and URL on 21 June
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
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.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Munehiro Narita’s Kyoaku No Intention (Worst Intentions) fired out some of the most compelling no-wave improvised rock of the 80s.
A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
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.
