Fugue State, a project of Disassociative Productions, is a new traveling festival of experimental, radical, political, and avant-garde cinema with previous screenings held at the NY Film-Maker’s Coop, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, Elastic Arts Foundation (Chicago), and Comfort Station (Chicago), the festival keeps expanding to new cities, including Cincinnati and Milwaukee for multiple nights of screenings. M Woods, multi-disciplinary artist and founder of the festival, created the platform as a direct attack at the gate-kept, corrupted, and cronyistic film festival circuit.
The Fugue State Milwaukee program tosses back and forth between organic, analog, and natural processes to the extremes of the synthetic landscapes, contorting cinematic space and its hyperreal double, at times directly critiquing the parasitic twin that engorges our fascist teleplay. This program showcases some of the best work from the first season of FUGUE STATE in a tumult of medias from mordan-caged 16mm film to computer-generated abstractions.
