BEEF: Vitreous Humour
Making the trip up the M5 are various members of Bristol Experimental Expanded Film (BEEF), a vibrant collective with a predilection for 16mm and analogue technologies.
Taking over Centrala’s upstairs for the entire evening, their back-to-back programme of performance, film and sound will be designed to ignite your retinas and vibrate your tectorial membranes. BEEF’s performers will bring with them all manner of beamers and AV contraptions, and among other things you can expect salt evaporating on projectors, sewing machines combined with tap-dancing and an OHP postcard show.
Yas Clarke: Palm Oil (music performance)
Live drum kit improvisation alongside slowly evolving, rhythmic patterns from musical generative processes mimicking natural ecologies.

16mm film projection with sound, duetting between optical sound on film and live sound via magnetic tape or hand-spun vinyl.
Matt Davies: Salt (16mm performance)
Seawater from Dunwich is evaporated live by the heat of the projection lamp from a 16mm projector.
