Open community meeting to discuss some of the prevalent concerns impacting the ballroom community.

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.
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.

Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
