Other Tidal Effects
Director
"And there are other tidal effects, mysterious and intangible."-Rachel Carson, "The Edge of the Sea" (1955). An attempt to communicate my lived experience of epilepsy through form. Mimicking mind-body dissociation and disorientation, while gesturing towards how relational entanglements sustain us. A riddle composed of fragments–cyanotype postcard exchanges with friends, an effusive letter read aloud by someone who didn’t write it, my EEG readout as a score, and my mother half-translating a song memorized in childhood.
Hear Me Sometimes
Director
Butterfly as verb. The monarch migration and an unearthed cassette tape correspondence form a storm speaking towards motherhood, loss, expectation, care and legacy. An elegy. An ode to uncertainty. A cry for radical optimism and a reordering of splendor.
One Off
Director
Exploring reproduction, photographic method and questions of emotional inheritance, Sofia Theodore-Pierce's "One Off" is a conversation between a mother and daughter, weaving together dispatches from an incomplete record.
Gravidity Part 1
A meditation on how women traverse their own bodies, through pregnancy and the desire to be pregnant. In documenting corporeal passivity and gestures of desire, questions arise—at what stages do we recognize pregnancy and how do women’s bodies come to matter?
