Expect slutty DJs, playful performances, stripper poles, rococo cakes, union broads and intimate readings…
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.

A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
Includes: a polish counting lesson, around NYC with D A Pennebaker, a portrait of a tower block, a man with a spade, at home with KYTN regular Guy Sherwin, a cinematic Blair Witchish cut-up and a song for some swings.
Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
