Poster for Planet D

2023 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Could another form of life be waiting for us? Somewhere out there, on a distant Planet D? The film is composed of footage captured in a teenage prison camp, where the author led classes for inmates in 2018, as well as from family video chronicles made in the 1990s. Olesya Rudyka reflects: “When my dad was released from incarceration, we believed we had our whole life ahead of us. He seemed to understand that leaving prison isn’t the end – it stays with you indefinitely and, sooner or later, catches up with you unexpectedly, like a bullet”.

A filmmaker explores the difficulty of being a woman, provoked by the porn films found among the belongings her father left behind. ‘Is pornography love?’ she asks herself. Watching these 8mm porn films becomes her way of creating a connection with ‘the FATHER,’ as she passes progressively from her memories of her father to her own gaze. A film that considers the male gaze.

As my mother-in-law's dementia progressed, her consciousness often wandered out on its own, and language gradually lost its meaning. Memory became a disconnected landscape, sometimes within reach, most of the time misty, sometimes barren. This film recording was an infrequent moment she spoke to us in recognizable words.

Poster for Juice

2010 · ★ 0.0 (0)

"A slow motion blow-up to 35 mm foregrounds the kinetic serendipity of a handhold portrait shot in 1980 and entirely edited in-camera. At the time I explored the groundbreaking portability and technical features of Super 8 to capture the wild intensity of my dog Juice as we played in a down and out neighbourhood in Buffalo, New York. In 2009 I treated the film as an objet trouvé — without bettering its formal quirks and lags — documenting the so-called 'amateur' nature of the medium and an unselfconscious phase of filmmaking practice." - Eve Heller
