CROSSROADS 2025 program - 2 certain lights / nothing is stable

PROGRAM TICKETS & FESTIVAL PASSES:

CROSSROADS opening night culminates with Celluloid Between the Wounds (World Premiere), a visceral sound and image convergence of legendary Portland sound artist Daniel Menche and Karl Lemieux, a Montréal-based filmmaker known for projection work with Godspeed You! Black Emperor and for his own alchemical films and multi-projector performances. In collaboration, Menche’s massive, textural drones and percussive detonations seem to awaken something subterranean while Lemieux’s flickering visuals melt, collapse and resurrect with each improvised gesture. Nothing is stable and caught in the tension between precision and chaos, in a shared physical space vibrating with the energy of the now. Performance is preceded by Linda Izcali Scobie’s flickering double-projector Crystal Palace and the CROSSROADS festival opener A Certain Light by Nicole Remy, a sensuous and circling lo-fi pinhole exploration.
