Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A conversation between influential figures thinking through Blackness and Indigeneity, asking: what if we took seriously the possibility that this world, as we know it, may be coming to an end? We dread the loss of this world, but have we begun to imagine the one to come?
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.

Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.

What’s the best way to spend time with a musician when they visit a city to perform? And when the musician in question has a great deal to say, what sort of concert do you organise to do justice to that?
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
