Swindle has come far from his days experimenting with grime, funk and dubstep, but he still carries the craft of a jazz musician. In this conversation with Nicolas-Tyrell Scott, from the Town Hall conversations, Swindle talks about how he wrote a track with Kojey Radical, seeing more grime on mainstream TV, the different methods in writing for TV in Candice Carty-Williams' show Champion, and how he's never stopped learning.
Recorded Wednesday 28 Jun 2023 at the ICA in London.

Yvonne Rainer and film research Oliver Fuke have a conversation to open a season at the ICA celebrating the dancer and choreographer's body of film work.
She reflects many years back on how she experimented with form between filmmaking and dancing, on being accused of not caring about the audience, and on how she'd never change anything about her films.

Part 3. Discussions from filmmakers responding to what Legacy Russell’s Glitch Feminism idea and how they use it in their practice.

‘Being a black woman in the world means a lot is expected and asked of you… the place I can set my strongest boundaries is in the digital realm’ ‘Apps like Natural Cycle where suddenly we’re using technology to liberate our bodies from traditional medicine and that in a scewed way maybe is a form of cyber-feminism and enters into that world’
Featured short films by artists Salome Asega, Ain Bailey, Anaïs Duplan, Caspar Heinemann, shawné michaelain holloway, Zarina Muhammad, E. Jane, Jenn Nkiru, Tabita Rezaire and Victoria Sin. 
Glitch Feminism embraces the causality of 'error' and turns the gloomy implication of 'glitch' on its ear by acknowledging that an error in a social system disturbed by economic, racial, social, sexual, cultural stratification, and the imperialist wrecking-ball of globalization—processes that continue to enact violence on all bodies – may not be 'error' at all, but rather a much-needed erratum.
Recorded 17 November 2017.
