Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Now a two day festival, INSTAL 04 was borne of a desire to open eyes, challenge audiences and expand musical horizons. This was also the year in which a certain representative from Corwood Industries made his first ever live appearance.
Inspired by Delany’s Aye, and Gomorra. A spookily filmic world where asexual bodies live in the contradiction of their unarousable loneliness and desire for intimacy and contact.
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Everyday objects and materials (rubber bands, paper, a sink, microphones) disabused of their inertia and made to speak for themselves in a kind of focusing in on the tiny, repetitive, almost unobserved (sonic/ visual) potential of everyday things put into motion.
Killer of Sheep is an undisputed masterpiece of African-American filmmaking and one of the most poetic, perceptive dramas ever made about family and community.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A workshop inviting participants to enact a series of scores that explore witnessing, testimony, grief and mourning, facilitated by Mezna and Sadia, and accompanied by Sakina Ali.
