Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Argument is a provocative, multi-layered film essay, a trenchant analysis of the media and remains a critically relevant and critically inflammatory tract.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Hartmut is going to talk a little about his work at large and the politics of how his films are constructed. And we’ll screen one of his best films: B-52.
