CUBE tv

This summer the cube presents a series of nights, rethinking the idea of television along its own fractured lines. Born out of a dissatisfaction with commercial scheduling, along with the new possibilities of streamed content and the corresponding desire to open oneself up in an uncontrolled way to something ‘other’. Each night will be scheduled by guest programmers, offering their unique re-imagining of the Reithian principles: inform, educate and entertain. Expect tv episodes, documentaries, short films, music videos, trailers, dvd content…

Cinema as shared social space. A new audiovisual domain is waiting to be explored, where anything goes. Producing a mindset that is open to experience in a way that home viewing can never replicate.

I'm a filmmaker, play in Corey Orbison & Headfall,
co-programme the Independent Heroines film festival
and was invovled in setting up Cafe Kino.

I've tried to assemble my ideal evening's television
schedule; something like...the collages of Joseph
Cornell, cartoons, short films by me and my friends,
and a little bit of burlesque, with musical
accompaniment from Nation of Ulysses, Beat Happening
and Karen Dalton including unseen footage of Huggy
Bear, Bikini Kill, Calvin Johnson at the Here Shop,
The Gossip at Ladyfest Bristol, Headfall at Cafe Kino
and more...!
