Please join us for the next screening and meet-up of the East London Experimental Film Club at Good Shepherd Studios, a forum for encountering alternative cinema in all of its forms in a friendly and welcoming environment. This month, in the lead-up to the US presidential election, we will be watching the European premiere of American underground artist M Woods' Commodity Trading: Dies Irae (2022). A hallucinatory, nightmarish collage of 16mm film, animation, and archival footage, Commodity Trading engages with and embodies a sense of overwhelming and hypermediated numbness emerging after the election of Donald Trump in 2016.
Sweet Void Cinema will be screening a radical double feature with the cult omnibus film COIN CELLEIL opening for the world premiere of M. Woods' 3rd feature film BODY PROP.
Peripheries Experimental Film and Video Festival, presented at Sweet Void Cinema on September 19-22, 27-29. Avant-Garde | Poetic | Underground | Radical Cinema & Art URL: http://www.peripheriesfestival.com

M. Woods’ Commodity Trading: Dies Irae is a surrealist nightmare wrapped in a documentary chronicling the void that emerged with the election of Donald Trump. The movie weaves a narrative through political hells, using 16mm film, mixed media digital experimentation, and archival footage to paint a hallucinatory landscape of Southern California’s break from reality.
