“An inventive exploration of the visceral nature of sound and how we learned to capture and reproduce it over time. Anchored by the discovery of the phonograph by the brilliant-and deaf-inventor Thomas Edison, this visual and conceptual collage of rich archival footage and animation playfully traces the birth of technological reproduction and the beginnings of our modern, audio-drenched world." - Gisèle Gordon (Hot Docs Canadian Spectrum programmer)

“…the body of the world which is also yours and which keeps insisting / you recognize it” - Extract from Quantum by Kim Addonizio. In Zahlner’s film the world is heightened through an abstracted filming of sensory textures, evoking touch, light and sound. All becomes one and forceful.

Poster for Membering the Night Witches

2020 · ★ 0.0 (0)

“On June 12th 1942, the Night Witches received their first baptism by fire. They were injected with the blood of the vampire bat, to see in the dark. They flew in wooden planes. No radar or radios. They had to be magic, they must have been drugged, or witches, or magic, to see in the dark. They were aged 17 to 26, the Night Witches. They dropped 23,000 tonnes of bombs on the fascists. ‘Be proud, you are a woman.’” Weaving a gothic-fantasy of the all-female Soviet WW2 bomber pilots the ‘Night Witches’, Membering the Night Witches presents an auto-baptism and auto-fertilisation calling for urgent antifascist liberation from our toxic selves. The intense improvised live performance is a noisy hymn for impossible queer longing, evoking psychic-political spirits from the undercurrents of transness, ecstasy and Christian mysticism.

Why is it that we place a plant in a pot, confining its ability to grow and occupy physical space? This work is part of "Plantarians" which asks, what does it mean to have a garden? Apportioned into episodes, the film studies the capacity of garden plants to respond to the particularities of their surroundings. At the same time, it tracks the lives of the contemporary men and women who cultivate, enjoy, eat, obsess over, and even grieve with and for these plants. The piece invites audiences to witness the codependent existence of earth’s living organisms, and to reflect on the ways in which this inter-dependence can be characterised by both conflict and intimacy.

Poster for Margarita's Memories

2020 · ★ 0.0 (0)

This is a picture of my grandmother, this is my reflection on her story, and this is the way I tried to overcome the pain of losing her. Going through my grandmother's home films, taken when she was around my age, I search for an echo and an answer. We were born on the same day, so I wonder… if looking throughout her memories I can learn something about myself.
