The Line-up
Pseudo Nippon Highspeed psychedelic double-drum-kitted madness, with dancers Wiggly Worm and T-Rex. Emily Wright and the Royals Sexy sounds of Swing get your groove on! Matt Woosey Bristols own Delta blues man. Adam Kammerling Outstanding wordsmithery from one of the UKs freshest performance poets.

In the space

From the classic era of the silent movie, and made in the early years of the Soviet Union, this film is part political melodrama part space romp. The crystalline Martian film sets are timeless templates that would be used for visions of the future for decades to come. Struggles on Mars reflect the struggles in Russia at the time of the films making. This highly unusual reel has been dug out from the archive and will be aired specially for the festival. Contemporary experimental music masters Minima provide the soundtrack: ambient, atmospheric and electrifying this is an audio-visual experience not to be missed! www.bristolticketshop.co.uk

The shining cogs and steam-punk inventions of a very Victorian future assemble themselves into a fullyfunctioning time travelling craft in which you can zoom any point in the past and look at the future though older and stranger eyes (but beware, this ancient piece of machinery, recently restored, is not for the faint-hearted!).
