Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
Two-parts Helhesten spit strangled shanties and cracked reeds from under a net of the Glasgow Improv Orchestra’s six-strings and one moustache.
Hartmut is going to talk a little about his work at large and the politics of how his films are constructed. And we’ll screen one of his best films: B-52.

A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).

A double bill of A (imageless) film of nothing but a sound recording and its transcription and a found film of news interviews about Malcolm X’s assasination, where the filmmaker decided to add nothing to it, except our attention.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
