Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.

A space to reflect on our own experiences with the police and explore more community and care-based ways of dealing with violence and difficulties in our lives.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!

Sound and image slipping out of synch and into discord, the programme includes (in London at least) a very special version of Hollis Frampton’s masterful (nostalgia) with a live narration by Michael Snow.
