A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.

Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?

Brother and sister stumble over the early morning horizon in a spectral haze of emotionally devastating lunar vocals and oblique, lithium-soaked folk.
