Originated in Philadelphia, U.S., the Lost Film Festival (LFF)
 http://www.lostfilmfest.org is on tour in Europe this year for the second time. In 2003 the Sheffield show of LFF was a huge success, with one of he highest turnouts of all shows in the UK.

Lost Film Festival touring program features scathing and hilarious social commentary in the form of narrative shorts, documented pranks, and hot Riot Porn (amateur footage from protests around the world.)
"This is about breaking the illusions cast by Hollywood & CNN," says festival director Scott Beibin. "You won't see a lot of these at typical indie festivals." Earlier this year, Lost Film Fest featured Sean Connery Golf Project (dir: Sara Rimensnyder / Rhys Southan), the infamous documentary and controversial subject of a current lawsuit, in which two young down-on-their-luck filmmakers infiltrate Sony Pictures studios, steal a screenplay, rewrite it, and return the altered script.
The program is an action packed three hours long, and never drags. Narrated by Beibin, Lost Film Fest happens typically in Mad Max like environs like clubs, warehouses, rooftops, & squats staying true to its guerrilla aesthetic. Throughout the years it's gained enough popularity to regularly appear at theaters and universities. Many of the iconoclastic filmmakers featured in the program make use of Digital Video and Non-Linear editing, producing low to no-budget masterpieces. Their films intentionally fly under the radar of the mainstream.
Truly "Too Hot for TV" since 1999, the LFF has featured scathing and hilarious social commentary in the form of narrative shorts, documented pranks, hot amateur protest footage, and video re-mixes. Additionally there is an annual weeklong event held in Philly, and guerilla visits to Sundance and Cannes. This jam is about smashing the illusions cast
by Hollywood, the Pentagon, and FOX News."

The INFERNAL NOISE BRIGADE  http://www.infernalnoise.org
is a 20-piece mutant marching band using drums, horns, voice, flags, and loudspeakers for intervention across the globe. At manifestations in Seattle, Prague, Cancún, & New York the INB has performed in clouds of gas and hails of rubber bullets without dropping a beat. Between these big international actions the Infernal Noise Brigade performs at festivals, raves, prisons, and Burning Man, leaving a wake of dismantled spectacle in their path.

The INB sound combines elements of drumline, taiko, Mughal and North African rhythms, with elements of Balkan fanfares, breakbeats, and just about anything else. Songs feature vocals and noise fed by miniature FM transmitters to loudspeaker rigs. Infernal equipment is reverse-engineered, from the custom welded drum-harnesses to the uniforms sewn from roadsigns and sanitation workwear. The Infernal Noise Brigade does not perform in a space, but rather occupies it, blurring the line between performer and audience.

“The virgin experience of the Infernal Noise Brigade in action can be adrenaline boggling. The music explodes the senses like a thunderstorm.” (Clamour Magazine)

"Seattle's Infernal Noise Brigade drowns the sound of concussion grenades with their drums.” (The Village Voice)

“The result, I think, is not only liberating for the band, but also something more raw for the audience, something truly interactive.” (The Stranger)


FILASTINE  http://www.filastine.com

performs LivePA/DJ sets that wreck genre, seamlessly integrating hip-hop, batucada, breakcore, drum & bass, politics, and international obscura. The core of a Filastine live performance consists of a laptop & electronics where tracks are remixed and
layered, then enhanced with live percussion. Filastine will also be joined by MC Subzero Permafrost, the rhyme-spitting sephardic ice-princess of New Orleans, on this European tour.

Filastine toured the UK last fall as part of Nettle, a project of DJ/Rupture, on the Street Music Arabe tour. His releases are available on Soot Records, Entartete Kunst, and Post World Industries, and he is currently working on a number of collaborations with Brazilian rappers as part of the project Sonar Calibrado. Filastine has performed in a bizarre variety of spaces and nations in the last year, from Argentina to Japan, gate-crashing and delivering up the sonic immediatism.

“The live and programmed drums feel like time itself has been sliced open, offering a cross-section of temporality's complex and relative clockwork.” (The Wire)

“I caught these guys – Filastine and Maga Bo – by chance at the Capitol Hill Block Party, rocking laptops in an impromptu setting on an old beater, wearing orange auto-mechanic suits and black masks. They were the most interesting act of the entire event.
Their sound warps the boundaries among drill ‘n’ bass, Muslimgauze-style Arabic breakbeat terror, and early Meat Beat Mainfesto’s intelligent industrial funk.” (The Stranger)

"Funky laptop madness that spans the gamut from ass shaking to mind melting, with occasional live drumming" (Small Change)
