**Token Homo’s BAR TRASH presents a summer season of MONSTER MAYHEM! at Genesis Cinema + Rule Zero – Booking Now!!**

ANSWERING THE SUN dir Rainer Kohlberger, 2022 + Q&A with the artist, presented by Sonic Cinema at ICA (24 JUN 16:30).

“Sonic Cinema presents Rainer Kohlberger’s ANSWERING THE SUN – a maximal, stroboscopic colour odyssey to the limits of human perception. Riffing on the optical phenomenon that occurs when staring at the sun, Kohlberger’s first feature adeptly modernises avant garde cinema’s long tradition of visual music and flicker in a 60-minute bombardment of coloured fields, op art geometry, hallucinatory passages and a wall of sound.”

“The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Rainer Kohlberger hosted by Dr. Eleni Ikoniadou and is supported by Austrian Cultural Forum London, Goethe-Institut London and Sixpackfilm, Vienna. Sonic Cinema is a research project and event series by Oliver Dickens, exploring the intersection of moving image, sound art and music practice.” (Sonic Cinema)
