Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.

Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
