The film jumps back and forth between the past and the present as the main character adjusts and settles into her new life.

"Art makes the familiar strange so that it can be freshly perceived. To do this it presents its material in unexpected, even outlandish ways: the shock of the new." - Viktor Shklovsky ***** This short hybrid film departs from the remediation of a low resolution .jpg file. A poor image to bring attention to a poor moment in cinema history.

Made during COVID-19 lockdown with limited resources, "HE SAID / SHE SAID" incorporates a series of reaction shots repurposed from the artist's collection of 16mm found footage to create a reflection on the world at large during a time of introspection, concern, and anxiety. The exchange of gazes evoke a gendered and racialized undercurrent. The footage was optically printed and hand processed into a single film print using expired hi-con film stock.

Drawing on Autism is an investigation into the ethics of creating animated documentaries. As a non-autistic filmmaker, representing an autistic participant, I needed to be mindful of the well-rehearsed and problematic tropes about autism. These tropes seem to say more about the desires and needs of neurotypical audiences than they do about their autistic subjects. Moreover, animation presents a distinct set of ethical dilemmas.

"There is, indeed, the unspeakable": inexplicable phenomena and surprising associations, mysterious outbreaks, torture chambers and substances that expand consciousness.
There Is, Indeed, The Unspeakable
The first animated film by visual artist Fransix Tenda Lomba is a kind of parcours through Congo’s historical education systems – and an analysis of the ideological function of the institution of the school. Using impressive collages and an always ironic commentary, the film – tellingly produced in Belgium – confronts its Western audience with their own ignorance about the region, challenging both their aesthetic and political thinking.

In English and Chinese, the word "clue (线索)" contains reference to "threads." This work creates a virtual space with a library as the backdrop, while using the image of "threads" throughout the film. The library, as a symbol of order, contains the collection and organization of human knowledge, while the linear forms have the dual possibility of both chaos and order. The combination of and tension between the images of books, globes, ropes, knots, chains, and the statue of Sleeping Ariadne refers to the act of people finding their way through the network of information.
