Strange Currencies, every Thursday from 8pm till 10 with Connor and Rob. We play new, interesting and often unusual music from all corners of the globe. Each week we bring in something we've been reading and we have a chat about it. We discuss novels, poems, short stories, literary criticism, music journalism; basically, everything is fair game. Our conversations often take us into deep waters - intellectually and emotionally - and there are times when we don’t make the swim to the distant shore of understanding.

Strange Currencies 14/11/2024: Derek Jarman

In this week's episode, we discuss a couple of films directed by Derek Jarman. Connor attended a retrospective of his work at ACMI.

Derek Jarman (1942–1994) was a groundbreaking British filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist whose unapologetically queer, provocative work was tragically cut short by AIDS-related illnesses. His films blend his diverse talents in writing, painting, stage design, costuming, and gardening, with themes ranging from the occult and anachronism to militant gay rights activism. In this week's episode, we discuss and politely disagree with one another about two of his films: Caravaggio (1986), and Wittgenstein (1993).
