A talk entitled ‘The Conquest of the Universe’: which delves into the connections between the underground filmmakers and musicians in New York in the early 1960s
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.
An evening of live performances, readings & saucy rococo cakes celebrating the launch of Truth and Lies – An Anthology of Writing and Art by Sex Workers.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.

Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert.

From there anything could happen.
A performed installation by one of Germany’s most interesting visual artists, based on edited transcripts of the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem and the writings of Hannah Arendt
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Munehiro Narita’s Kyoaku No Intention (Worst Intentions) fired out some of the most compelling no-wave improvised rock of the 80s.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
