Please join us at the Edinburgh Filmhouse on Saturday 4th April for an engaging afternoon of subtitled radio works from around the world. This will be our fourth instalment of ‘Lost in Transmission’ and our first in Edinburgh.

This edition draws from the archives of Radio Atlas and the LUCIA Festival and features a new live work by Glasgow based performance artist Shona Macnaughton -

Shona Macnaughton makes live events based on artefacts from alternative political life from the past, as a monstered version of her artist self. On this occasion, she will be performing a version of ‘Look! She has her eyes wide open’ – based on a documentary film about a French feminist organisation and their efforts to collectivise both birth and abortion, titled after a rough translation of the French ‘Regarde, elle a les yeux grand ouverts’ (1980)

📻 Tomorrow night – live on Radio Worm - .worm
Saturday, 24th January - 7.30pm CET / 6.30pm GMT

The Radiophrenia Schizophonic Workshop presents…

Thalassonic Dynamo

The Radiophrenia team’s first in-house production takes a deep dive into the secretive and murky world of maritime engine audio clubs – where enthusiasts share and swap rare engine recordings as if they were contraband. And for some the obsession goes too far…

The piece has been developed and produced over a week-long residency at WORM sound studios. Thanks to everyone at WORM and Radio WORM for hosting us.

This live radio play is part of Radio WORM’s marathon 25-hour Radio Relay starting at 5pm on Saturday, 24th January and finishing at 6pm on Sunday, 25th January. 72 performers, 3 stages, 1 room.

Tune in here:
https://radio.worm.org/

Or - if you’re in the vicinity come along for the full 25 hours - bring your own pillow and stay over night. The event is free and all are welcome.
