Monday 8 th February
SCREEN SECT: American Movie (Chris Smith, 1999)
A strangely inspirational documentary, this follows the at-times comedic misadventures of manically driven Milwaukee film-maker Mark Borchardt, as he struggles against bad planning, financial hardship and an amateur cast and crew, to complete his independent horror film ‘Coven’. A must-see.
Doors 7.30pm

Tuesday 9 th February MAKE IT UP CLUB The Make It Up Club is committed to nurturing, presenting and promoting avant-garde improvised music and sound performance of the highest conceptual and performative standards, regardless of idiom, genre, or instrumentation. Whilst traditional forms of avant-garde improvisation are welcomed, MIUC programming policy gives priority to projects which challenge the boundaries of current musical trends and which are predominantly, though not exclusively, improvisational in nature.
This week’s performers are:
- Freya Schick-Arnott (cello) and Nic Tammens (electric guitar)
- Jonathan Heilbron (contra bass) and James Mclean (drumkit)

Doors 8pm

Don’t miss this rare program of monolithic sonic disorder.
