Music is full of refracted brass and wind tones, distorted tape loops, dead silent air and the occasional piercing shard of sound.
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.

Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.

Craig will give a guided reading of his handbook of exemplary instances of literary listening and will be joined by one of the selected authors, Vanessa Place.
