"Volti" uses archival i footage to explore the theme of police brutality and the dehumanization of victims. Through a process of visual transformation, the human faces shown undergo a sort of symbolic castration due to the abuse, losing their humanity and breaking down into expressions of pain. Each face becomes a tragic mask, symbolizing the loss of identity and dignity inflicted by a system that no longer recognizes people, but only objects to control and repress. The film ends with an eerie silence, accompanied by a sequence of images showing faces now dead and devoid of meaning. These faces, stripped of any distinguishing features, merge into a disturbing gallery that represents the final stage of dehumanization: the complete erasure of individuality.

Kith is a short film directed and edited by Ruth Jones. It is the outcome of a participatory arts project run by Holy Hiatus that explored family, home, longing and belonging. What does it mean to be part of a ‘family’? How does one’s own identity change when the family shifts and changes – when people leave or arrive through birth, death or voluntary/involuntary separation? How does the passage of time alter our perception of family dynamics? What creative testaments could there be to powerful internal shifting processes, endurance and surrender to new realities? We worked in Welsh and English with thirteen participants from west Wales for who these themes resonated through creative writing.
