A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?
INSTAL’s third outing saw performances by AMM, Cosmos (Sachiko M & Ami Yoshida), Voreboms, Vibracathedral Orchestra with Matthew Bower and John Godbert, Paragon Ensemble, Merzbow and Ryoji Ikeda.
Screening of films by Duvet Brothers, David Critchley, David Hall, John Latham, Judith Goddard, Mike Leggett, Tony Sinden

Multiple images, glimpses of old films, abstract images in the midst of an electro-acoustic sound field of tape loops & analogue synthesizers
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
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 set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
