One Week to Go Until Mirror . . . . . . . . . . . . #newmusic #newmusicalert #musicvideo #musicsingle

Honoured and excited that 'A Birmingham Symphony' is nominated for Best Documentary at the @midlandsmovies awards! It means so much to be recognised in our home region and we're looking forward to the event next month. As always, couldn't have got there without the wonderful score by my friend @oscarvinter . We're also part of the online selection for Cannes International Film Week at the moment, so please have a watch on Whush!

We’re delighted to announce that the two latest volumes in our P5 photo-poetry pamphlet series are now available in our online shop! Giving Notice by @siddkhajuria is a reluctant love letter to the decisions we make and the often monotonous nature of life. Promise to be Tender by @charliejlfitz & @oscarvinter explores love, care and crip interdependence forged through illness, precarity and devotion. If you’re in London this Saturday, you can hear all three artists perform readings of this new work at @peckham24 . Link in bio to book your free ticket. You can also find us at A Bigger Book Fair all weekend at @peckham24 , where volumes 1 & 2 of P5, Endscape by @f11andrewzawacki and Persona Digitalia by @vikshirls1 , will be available to buy alongside the new releases. P5 is a photography and poetry pamphlet series directed by Photoworks in partnership with @davidisolo , and designed by @_janeandjeremy . The series was created to support artists exploring how text, image and page can come together in meaningful, experimental and unexpected ways.

We are thrilled to be taking part in this event to celebrate the launch of the Photoworks P5 pamphlets which includes our pamphlet, Promise to be Tender. The pamphlet is published & sold by @photoworks_uk & designed with @_janeandjeremy Photoworks X Peckham 24 In at least one dream! Photo-poetry night++ Join us for a poetry night featuring four artists performing works that connect with photography, each with distinct perspectives and encounters with image-making.

Also performing are Fitz (@charliejlfitz ) & Vinter (@oscarvinter ) whose collaborative, interdisciplinary practice is rooted in themes of care, memory and illness. They are joined by @siddkhajuria , an artist working across photography and writing to explore social assimilation and resistance, and (@mitchellrobertson ), whose poetry examines class and masculinity through storytelling. 🗓️ Sat 16th May, 7-9pm 📍Sunset Studios, Copeland Yard, Peckham 🎟️Tickets are free, book via link in bio. ♿Access (Studio 1): Direct lift access via the Red Stairs entrance.

It was an absolute pleasure to have my film, ‘Dance the Body Electric’ screened at the @barbicancentre (one of my favourite places) as a part of ‘Feeling the Fantasy’ programmed by @emilysmmns x @cripcinemaarchive alongside so many important and vibrant films exploring disability, dance and movement. Also had the pleasure of taking part in a post screening Q&A with the wonderful dancer @jamalsterrett and the dancer and filmmaker Caitlin McMullan, hosted by Emily Simmons. . . . . . . .

Oscar Vinter (@oscarvinter ) is an artist, composer, and audio-visual researcher who works across film, music, photography, and writing. We talk about practice-based research—using the medium to explore the medium itself rather than relying on theory alone. We discuss Oscar's multidisciplinary approach and touch on neurodivergence, exploring how repetition, sensation, and embodiment shape his creative output. And lastly, how to maintain fun and spontaneity in art-making long term—through collaboration, experimentation, and staying authentic.

In the lead up to our artist talk and film screening: Crip Love, Care and collaboration - happening online tomorrow at 6pm GMT with @restingupcollective_ & @ortgallery Oscar and I are publishing a substack that explore some of the themes and films we will show at the event. The first substack is an essay Oscar wrote to accompany his film - COL5A1/FBN2, made as part of his PhD research. "Dealing with personal histories, the film is performative, unfolding through three “chapters” comprised of scripted elements, interview sequences and ‘synthetic’ memoire involontaires. Interweaving personal and familial histories, memories, trauma; the film explores the attempts to “tell” multiple stories simultaneously." - Oscar Vinter Link to the substack in @charliejlfitz bio
