Sound in Synch, Parts I and II

Sound in Sync (1984) consists of two ten-minute takes; Aoki films people on Michigan Avenue but soon pans up into the blue. The long middle portion of each take consists of almost imperceptible camera movements across the sky while the sound track continues to record people talking on the street, presumably in perfect sync with the image. The film refocuses our attention from what we’re most accustomed to looking at to a world almost of pure color.

For Sama

A love letter from a young mother to her daughter, the film tells the story of Waad al-Kateab’s life through five years of the uprising in Aleppo, Syria as she falls in love, gets married and gives birth to Sama, all while cataclysmic conflict rises around her. Her camera captures incredible stories of loss, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice– whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter’s life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much.
