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.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.

Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
One of the most compelling Indigenous voices of her generation discusses practices of Indigenous Resurgence drawn from Nishnaabeg poetic knowledge.
