A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Chip’s written some of the greatest of all Sci-Fi and Fantasy—page turning character driven diamond-hard novels and short stories: each a lens that refracts our real-life struggles and desires.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Usurper luddite twins’ disabled instruments play a game of pick-up-sticks with the deconstructed horn of a young Derby opponent.

The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Includes: solar flares, insect fireworks, a new film from Ian Helliwell, pulsating glaciers, an apple being eaten alive, sea ravaged stock, crushed blackberries and film that has literally risen from the grave.

Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
