Black Skies: https://louisedistras.lnk.to/BlackSkies

"Black Skies" mixes revelry with mindless violence against the backdrop of the new Great Depression. Harking back to centuries old traditions and rituals of targeted vandalism and arson that want to “turn the world upside down”.

It's about being stuck at home in Yorkshire during lockdown with the apocalyptic notion that small towns like Wakefield are just an end-state for humankind. There's a sense that England in 2022 is at the end of something. The idea of my life-cycle expiring and artistic atrophy, for which the dystopian wastelands of a burning Grenfell tower provided the perfect visual metaphor...

Black Skies celebrates all of life's soul sucking emptiness, its lawlessness, its traumas, violence and dread, its funny tragedies and all the inertia of hopelessness into an explosive 190 seconds of no-holds barred extremism and freewheeling experimentalism.
