Film(s) To Be Screened

TERMINATED:TEETH&TINDER

TERMINATED:TEETH&TINDER is a triptych swiping between the fallout of a marriage break up, middle-aged Tinder and a lost front tooth. An experimental documentary, it combines interviews with middle aged women about their experiences of using Tinder, advice from people on the train and the animated story of how I lost my tooth in the first place.


POLAROIDS. The Warehouse Of Memory

As Luis Buñuel said, "Memory is constantly invaded by the imagination and dream world, and since there is  a temptation to believe in the reality of the imaginary, we end up making truths of our lies."


How to Breathe in Kern County

Every Saturday night, in California’s southern San Joaquin Valley, an informal gathering has been taking place for decades. Workers and manual laborers from across Kern County make their way to a supermarket parking lot to hang out, show off their cars, and travel to the backroads of the county. There, in the darkness, they hold street races on dusty rural roads, searching for a moment of catharsis after a grueling work week. Through a blend of observation, immersion, and poetry, How to Breathe in Kern County serves as a vehicle for entering into this world so often denigrated and unseen. 


The Traffic Separating Device

A traffic separating device is installed in the middle of Stockholm. It is designed to keep normal cars away and only let buses pass, but ultimately illustrates how practical solutions can turn into human failures.
