Poster for Ouroboros

2017 · ★ 5.0 (4)

This film is an homage to the Gaza Strip and to the possibility of hope beyond hopelessness. Ouroboros, the symbol of the snake eating its tail, is both end and beginning: death as regeneration. A 74-minute experimental narrative film that turns the destruction of Gaza into a story of heartbreak, Ouroboros asks what it means to be human when humanity has failed. Taking the form of a love story, the film's central character is Diego Marcon, a man who embarks on a circular journey to shed his pain only to experience it, again and again. In the course of a single day, his travel fuses together Native American territories, the ancient Italian city of Matera, a castle in Brittany, and the ruins of the Gaza Strip into a single landscape.

Poster for The New World

2013 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Mixing Super 8 and phone footage 'The New World' expands the short format of previous works in a sinuous narrative of 23 minutes. Its longhand structure explores the nature of thought and reflection, trauma and memory through performance and storytelling. Yet the story is a series of dead ends and inconclusive musings, part film noir and part fairy tale its optimism is cut with a deep nostalgia that views the 20th century from the vantage point of the 21st . "She..all the waitresses, all the smoking women looking out windows. Just a slippery history full of the broken puppetry of her narrators" – Eileen Myles

Poster for Voices Seen, Images Heard

2009 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Voices Seen, Images Heard assembles archival and fictional film clips, photographs, and sound into a collage-like history of Hong Kong, one that experiments with and reflects on its own construction. The artist’s thoughts appear as text on a black background or superimposed over the images, providing conceptual scaffolding for the sequences. Audio and video clips play in isolation or layered together; abrupt edits reinforce their fragmentary nature.
