Sally Golding (AU)
Golding is a film performance artist, curator and audiovisual
archivist - her work blurring the boundaries of moving image,
live art and visual hallucination. Using 16mm technologies
and photographic darkroom processes she deconstructs cinematic
materials and apparatus, slipping between materialist investigation,
sculptural forms and bodily intervention. Cracked cinema for
darkroom compositions, light bleed, contorted projection sports,
dismembered narrative, whimsical instructional and wanton
optics. Golding will perform Psycho Subtropo.
Blue
Yodel (UK)
A rare audio/visual performance from Blue Yodel - the solo
output of Fiona Kennedy - member of Sheffield’s esoteric
junk freeformers Hunter Gracchus and co-founder of the Singing
Knives label. Extreme body soundings and vocal micro particles
that conflate electric and organic sources - unpredictable
and convulsive - creating disturbed psychic territories.
Jeff
Keen / Deep Kiss 720 / Stella Keen (UK)
Recycled sonic collages drawn from tapes sped up and cut down,
TV samples, screams, deconstructed riffs - long time Jeff
Keen collaborator Jason Williams / Deepkiss 720 provides the
perfect accompaniment to the veteran experimental filmmaker’s
frenetic split-screen pulp animations. All now with extra
sax from Keen’s daughter Stella.

Light
Support Systems
Ian Helliwell UK 2010 6 min
Helliwell is an artist-filmmaker-musician based in Brighton.
Having begun intuitively at the start of the 1990s, he has
experimented with a range of techniques for creating images
directly onto super 8 film. His work is distinctive, if not
unique in that he also designs and builds his own electronic
instruments – Hellitrons and Hellisizers – which
he uses to make all the soundtracks of his films. Light Support
Systems is an expanded multi-screen film for up to 5 projectors
with a combination of super 8, slides and video. All the images
which were shot with super 8, are derived from lighting equipment
designed for discotheques, and form a constantly shifting
array of colours. The slides contain film strips which are
given an element of movement with colour wheels – the
whole multi-projector environment being a combination of light,
motion, colour, with electronic sound.Helliwell's documentary
'Practical Electronica' is touring now.

The
Story of Thomas Edison (Aaron Zeghers Can 5 mins)
Aaron Zeghers is a filmmaker and musician from Winnipeg, Manitoba,
Canada. He resurrects and experiments with largely-abandoned
filmmaking methods such as optical printing and usually adopts
a very hands-on attitude to filmmaking. Aaron experiments
technically with Super 8 and 16mm, pushing the boundaries
of film image by adopting both filmic and digital techniques.
But with his films he also tells very personal and impacting
stories, in large part through his soundtracks. In creating
the soundtrack for his films he uses original and found sound
clips and music to create a Lipsett-like montage of sound
bites. In The Story of Thomas Edison he explores his personal
relationship with the famous inverter at the same time as
he creates a libellous biography of him.
Bodily
Heavens (Stephanie Wuertz USA 4.55 min) Stephanie Wuertz
is an audiovisual artist based in New York working in a wide

under a microscope, using a single slide of microscopic imagery
re-photographed at varying positions and levels of magnification
that immerse the viewer in a world that seems both macro-
and microcosmic, human and anti-human. The soundtrack is a
collage of low frequency radio signals, scratching records
and the ambient sounds found in caves, public pools and amusement
parks manipulated using an audio cassette recorder.

(Machi Miyahara JP 2011 4.11 min) Machi Miyahara, a visual

Walking
From Sala to Tims (Clint Enns Can 2010 5 min)
'Walking from Sals to Tims is such a sizeable challenge that
anyone who undertakes it must have a very good reason. I was
motivated mostly by a longing for decent coffee. I wanted
to become healthy after eating an unhealthy but fabulous tasting
meal. I succeeded in walking over 100 blocks to Tims, taking
the back roads, all on foot, with no Segways or bicycles used.
Hourly, i put stretches of pot-holes behind me. I saw many
beautiful landscapes, met friendly people, socialist workers,
and here and there the occasional milksop whiner. I got along
well with all of them, and had good conversations. I must
say that people in this city are generally pretty strange.'

I’ll
Raise You Like A Mother (Violaine
Bergoin UK 8min)
'This piece is a reconstitution of a precise moment of my
life, as a 8 year old, during an everyday family dinner and
the broadcasting of the Ceausescu couple being trialled and
executed. When Elena Ceausescu cried for her life, screaming
to the guards taking her "I'll raise you all like a mother",
which was then dubbed in French, my heart stopped and these
words have been haunting me ever since and has been bringing
impressions of déjà- vu until now. Today it
has become a banality to watch upheavals, wars, famines, executions,
genocides at 8 o'clock news within a familial structure. Yet
the conflicts in this world may reflect our disabilities to
communicate which results in decaying relationships. Maybe
wars start within families first and expand to massive proportions.'
Bergoin
New
