The Cube is a 6 hour performed installation in which sound and image are treated as independent but equal, where musicians and filmmakers sit alongside each other, improvise to and feed off both projected image and amplified and acoustic sound.
Emotional fantasies, towers of cakes, identity troubles, collapsed distance and time and Samuel R. Delany’s rarely seen 1971 film The Orchid.

A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
