BLACKOUT SOUND CINEMA PRESENTS:
KISS THE CHAOS; An archive of artist-run cinemas

(Wed 6th / 8pm / £3)

Kiss The Chaos’ is an ongoing audio archive project begun in 2005 by Ali Sparror. It invites artist-volunteer-enthusiasts involved in alternative cinema spaces to reflect upon the platforms they create.

Both history project and cultural essay, ‘Kiss The Chaos’ investigates these communities that create and maintain their own cultural agenda outside the mainstream media and beyond the funding landscape. It raises issues surrounding alternative economies, cooperative organisation, post-apocalyptic programming, DIY and radical ownership of your own public institution.

Since beginning the archive while a projectionist at Bristols Cube Cinema, Ali Sparrror has gone on to interview the people of Star & Shadow in Newcastle, Cinema Nova in Brussels, and Artists' Television Access in San Francisco.
This audio presentation will take place in authentic Blackout Sound Cinema conditions in the atmospheric cube theatre....where the audio will become a sensory overload and the images are as strong as your imagination.

Images and a discussion will accompany the show.
