ICA: The Show, is a bi-monthly video magazine conceived by the Institute of Contemporary Arts for the PlayStation Portable exploring the working methods, philosophies and styles of film makers, artists, designers and musicians. Flat-e produced and directed twelve episodes of the show, parts of which can be seen here.

David Shrigley’s work verges on the thin line between humorous insanity & profound philosophical meaning. ‘WHO I AM AND WHAT I WANT’ is a film by Shrigley and collaborator Chris Shepherd. A scribbled, strangely funny but highly unsettling examination of the human condition. The story of a man who bares his emotions, history, hang ups and desires in all of their dysfunctional absurdity then leaves us to assemble not only his identity but to question our own.
