Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
Leading language/ action/ sound poet performed his groundbreaking concrete poem, a dizzying mandala of text, symbols and rubber stamps; a kind of book as reading machine.
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
Paul Sharits one of the great experimental, sometimes called structuralist / materialist, filmmakers of the 20th Century.

An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
