After their Real Time Film trilogy (part of which was shown in Paris), Big Art Group pursue their multi-layered sampled and real-time video , restructuring uses of Hollywood and Rock and Roll special effects, and reanimating the “spent instruments of battle” to use them as their nightmarish own: “We are un-soldiers, always yielding, we will struggle only to be closer, to be united, to become soft machines.”

At the crossroads between musical and documentary, Lola Arias brings us a choral composition in which six female former inmates talk about their lives during and after incarceration. Their six intertwining destinies raise questions about the various forms of violence present in contemporary society, whilst exploring the margins of fiction and reality at the same time.
