A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.

Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
The program of composed music including Feldman’s Instruments III, Ligeti’s piece for 100 Metronomes Poeme Sympathetique, and Rebonds B by Iannis Xenakis.
Hijokaidan rapidly built a following due to the overwhelmingly physical intensity of their live performances, often involving destructive onstage rituals of vomit, urine, mangled guitars and ear shredding volume.

In this interactive workshop, Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid, will share key principles, explore common challenges in mutual aid work, and offer tools for working through them.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.
