By inviting members of the West African diaspora in London to comment on portraits from a collection of colonial ethnographic photographs taken in West Africa between 1909 and 1915, the film highlights the plurality of contemporary perspectives on these images. Some discern the imprint of colonial violence, while others perceive signs of optimism, resilience, or unexpected forms of identification, thus complicating any single interpretation of these photographs.

The pressures of having to make an amazing film for TED sent this deadpan, deep-voiced, award-winning filmmaker into a crippling spiral of self-doubt and comic indecision.

The director couldn’t have anticipated the coronavirus epidemic, but here is a near-future world in which a middle-class protagonist lives indoors, congratulating himself on the economic virtues of having ingested ‘animal condensed’ – an unexplained substance that seems to merge human and animal – and its benefits to his comfortably alienated life. “It optimises, it abstracts… it made us safe, here at home, with our accelerated portfolios”, he explains. Upstairs, his daughter virtually reconfigures Peppa Pig. Outside, meanwhile, hiding in the forest, is an unnamed, camouflaged fugitive, who explains her escape from a society that seems to have happily abolished the distinction between organic and technological life. An artist who has become a guerrilla fighter, the woman is busy preparing totem-like countermeasures to disrupt those who have become ‘animal expanded’.

This film, created during the recent Alchemy Film & Moving Image residency in the Sahara Desert, has a tripartite structure inspired by the Chinese name for Morocco (摩洛哥), with the parts focusing on three different sensory modalities (touch, seeing, and hearing) through which the visiting filmmaker experienced the desert environment. Underlying the whole film is the question of how she positioned herself in relation to the host country during her short stay, whilst acknowledging that her subjective experience of the place was inevitably fragmentary and limited.

On July 14 2018, in Gaza City, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, two Palestinian teenagers climbed onto the rooftop of the al-Katibah building.

The short video loop starts with a blank page. White. No orientation, scale, dimension. Until the edge of the frame is broken. From an aerial viewpoint we see a dark horse being led into what now reveals itself as a blank snowy landscape. Walking in a circle, it inscribes a trail of footprints into the snow, creating a kind of drawing.

In 1974 Thomas Nagel published his famous essay "What is it like to be a bat?" arguing that there is a specific mental state to each organism. Besides his critique toward the materialist theory of mind, the paper also explores the differences between human consciousness and the awareness of bats. According to Nagel subjectivity can not be shared. However, cinema might be a tool to do exactly that; sharing a lived experience of another creature. This film attempts to kindle the vision of a spider by using experimental phytochemistry.

In America, nearly 30% of those exonerated by DNA tests had previously confessed. For more than half a century, the Reid technique was the favored method of extracting confessions out of suspects. This method of slowly building pressure often made it seem that admitting guilt was the easiest way out. But now, a number of police forces are abandoning the Reid technique because of the risk of generating false confessions. We hear from the men and women who have spent more than 20 years in prison for crimes they did not commit. They tell us about that moment when, in the darkness of the interrogation room, cut off from the world and terrified by police officers, they finally said what the interrogators wanted to hear…the moment their lives changed forever.

In my early 20s, I began to recognise the complexity of gender and sexuality. Growing up believing in a concept of sexuality and others’ has set an idea of what I should be. I wanted to be a boy and aspired that when I’m old enough to have a job, I would work and save money for sex reassignment surgery. Making this film was a celebration of the discovery within the self which simplifies acceptance and understanding the fluidity of human desire of interest.

Three young women reflect on adolescence as a period marked by loss of ‘voice’ and the struggle between competing desires for autonomy and connection.
