    Judith Horn is a sad girl music project originated by Jeanne Oss- Born on the sandy beaches of the Mississippi, Jeanne hatched from a fish egg with her songs already written in her head. She then grew up in Wisconsin hoping to someday fly to California to learn shitty guitar and bring these songs to fruition. She played random shows in Oakland unprovoked solo style for a couple years until some friends pitied her and said they would play in her band. Now they practice once and awhile and hope to god, it sounds fine. Jeanne’s band mates are: Justin Kohlburg (bass), Brian Tester (guitar), and Alex Miner (drums). Earlier in the spring, Judith Horn released “12 Shorties” which is available on bandcamp.

  • Dead the Ends

    $7-$10

    Bookended by the 2011 London riots, Benedict Seymour’s dramatically, politically urgent new film retells the story of Chris Marker’s ‘La Jetée’. A man has been sent back into the past as a way of rescuing the future, his tale told by way of the Narrator who riffs on familiar film dialogue and contemporary references – unpicking the political implications of his journey and our retro obsessions. A collage, narrative, essay film hybrid, ‘Dead the Ends’, plunders some fifty years of cinema – including dystopian sci-fi – and uses emojis and gifs as ways of exploring the undercurrents of historical and current visual language, as well as present entrenched, systemic inequality. Cross-currents of thought and broad swathes of material are incisively manoeuvred, whilst, in its intellectually and dramatically gripping shape and scope, the piece feels part-situationist, part-Borgesian. It asks, in richly creative fashion, how did we get here?”
