Poster for Watashi no sukina sougen

2008 · ★ 0.0 (0)

My Favourite Grassy Plain. Oguchi Yoko belongs to that special category of film makers for whom life, work, documentary and fiction are basically one and the same thing. She is her film, her films are her. There is one significant theme that keeps returning, her masochistic tendencies. Here she returns to a relationship with someone who deceived her. A true story, of course.

DED shows Martine Syms's digital avatar-based on a 3-D scan of her body—in a vast virtual landscape against an infinite horizon. She casually walks among other characters, runs, bleeds, and excretes. Her t-shirt back reads “TO HELL WITH MY SUFFERING”. The main refrain of the soundtrack, composed and performed by Syms, reverberates: "I want to give and receive infinite possibilities."

Poster for Keeping Together in Time

2021 · ★ 0.0 (0)

This film is an attempt to define an imaginary word. "Teleomeric" was a word my husband used to use, before he had a stroke and lost his language. Now I am left with the memory of a word which I cannot find in the dictionary. The closest word I can find to "teleomeric" is "telomeric," meaning belonging to the telomeres, or the ends of the chromosome, which protect their information and prevent them from sticking together. In this sense, the film is actually about the search for those rare moments of consolidation that keep us afloat.
