A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
Has neoliberal capitalism locked down social experience? Are our seemingly subjective desires, our identities, pre-packaged by dominating social structures?
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
Italian duo of brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio utilising an array of acoustic and electric guitars, various toy-instruments and toy-microphones.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
A three-day celebration surveying all manner of diverse musical activities, which at their core share a basic kinship: one of exploration and the discovery of musical expresssion.
