Dislocation @ Filmstock 11
FRIDAY NOV 6TH @ 7PM Festival Centre Bar
School of Unthink, curators of Luton’s annual Dislocation festival, return to Filmstock to continue their project of connecting works of art which appear isolated, but are ultimately united in their discord against all things ordinary.
Vultures
This anarchic London collective bring their unique home-made instruments and general cacophony back to Luton, this time entwined with visual stimulation.

Skarabee
Stuart Chalmers’ highly experimental alter ego has recently released a full length album on Fbox Records, extracts of which are set to independent films from the UK underground at this festival.

Oblio
Often slow-burning and deceptively calm, the digital tapestries of Mark Burton aka Oblio have lulled several Luton audiences into blissful dream-states at Dislocation and beyond for a number of years. Set against a sumptuously fitting backdrop of Koyaanisqatsi (1983).

The Lottery in Babylon
The Lottery’s oneiric sepia tones and cryptic lyrical metaphors are complemented on the night by a narcotic collage of Point Blank (1967) and Dead Man’s Shoes (2004).
Criemen
Are a disorienting extended belch of hypertensile hum and reverberating despair. A project inspired by the harrowing World of Glory (1991) by Roy Andersson, to which this performance is set.
