Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.

A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
Poems are kisses, fists, and underground rivers. For all these reasons and many more, I am a poet.

Brother and sister stumble over the early morning horizon in a spectral haze of emotionally devastating lunar vocals and oblique, lithium-soaked folk.
