The Complex World of Digging (Documentary, 12mins)

Digging—the art of searching for records—can take many different forms. From clicking through endless rabbit holes on Discogs and getting swept up by the YouTube algorithm, to, as the name suggests, spending hours thumbing through the bargain bins of record shops.

Somewhere in Detroit (Documentary, 12mins)

A short film about Detroit’s greatest musical collective since Motown, the cooperative and record label dubbed Submerge and UR (Underground Resistance). The mini-documentary reveals intimate conversations, providing unique insights into the tight-knit co-op at the center of Detroit techno—the creators, pioneers, and futurists who embody the spirit of the genre.

Sad Stonewash (Experimental, 40mins)

Described as ‘a video mulch’ this is an adventure, or perhaps abyss, of distortion. Like if an alien raided a charity shop’s VHS section and created some kind of a muzzy tapestry of humankind.

Ukraine: Nightlife in Resistance (Documentary, 45mins)

When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 the thriving electronic scene changed forever. Overnight, producers, DJs, club owners, staff, promoters and curators became soldiers, refugees and volunteers. The country’s dance floors were repurposed into medical training facilities and ammunition factories, coordination headquarters and volunteer centres.
This film explores six individual perspectives from across its club scene, uncovering from their stories the true cost of war.
