Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.

Low-end drone guitarage army since 1997: nobody has done more on this occasion by a gaggle of sludge-lovers from the Scottish underground.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.

A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
A testimony to poverty from Chris’s own experiences, and an invitation to engage with an all too typical situation and context through a kind of imaginary listening.
Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.
