A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.
Taking The Futurist Cinema’ manifesto and turning it into software to track ‘aluminium’ online, tracing relationships companies with interests in aluminum had to each other and other agencies.
Conceptual choreography as critique, in Ligia’s film of Caribbean plots and scandals, and the possibilities of anti-colonial revenge, rest and repair.
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.

Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
