A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
US percussionist, poet, sound artist and instrument maker performing on self-made instruments constructed from industrial materials such as stainless steel, titanium, PVC plastics and various kinds of pipe.
Talk charting the radical history of experimental music in Japan + the lowdown into the careers of many of the artists appearing at MLFC.
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.

An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
A confrontational and somehow shamanic stance; introspective silences shattered by savage jabs at the strings, whirlwind strums dying into spartan chords
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
