One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
Conceptual writer and practicing lawyer Vanessa Place performs and talks with Mark Sanders, author of the brilliant “Complicities: The Intellectual and Apartheid”
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
A welcoming intermission between events, open to the public.
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?
Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.

A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
