Loïc and Marc are proposing a series of investigations into the tension between improvisation and recording and how it can be used to engage with different spaces and environments around Dundee

Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
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.
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.
