Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
Italian duo of brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio utilising an array of acoustic and electric guitars, various toy-instruments and toy-microphones.
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.

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.
Three days of discussions, performances, actions, dancing and food – continuing No Total’s ongoing contemplation of ways of being together and the ways Arika have been entangled in those, ever since Episode 4.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
