Lament to Waters

May our smiles not be forced for your enjoyment and may our pains no longer be hidden. May my mother Yemanja help me. A short film about the pain we carry alone and that we only confess to the sea, which is life, but for us, black people from the diaspora, it's also a memory of a past of sadness and death.

Our Boat

The Tuba Thieves

A spate of robberies in Southern California schools had an oddly specific target: tubas. In this work of creative nonfiction, d/Deaf first-time feature director Alison O’Daniel presents the impact of these crimes from an unexpected angle. The film unfolds mimicking a game of telephone, where sound’s feeble transmissibility is proven as the story bends and weaves to human interpretation and miscommunication. The result is a stunning contribution to cinematic language. O’Daniel has developed a syntax of deafness that offers a complex, overlaid, surprising new texture, which offers a dimensional experience of deafness and reorients the audience auditorily in an unfamiliar and exhilarating way.

The Pleasure in Pain

A short film that follows key figures of the London kink scene on an exploration into BDSM and the notorious fetish event Klub Verboten. The film touches upon themes of psychology, trauma, LGBTQ+ rights and black representation.

Track_ing

A set of 500*500 pixel boxes analyzes a group of image data produced on a train—a train running between Korea and Kazakhstan. Mostly, the detection process appears to be random. However, despite the incoherency, the boxes can generate an output, a story that can make sense.

Kumbum 1+1 (1975-1987)

Kumbum 1+1 (1975-1987) is a variation on author's Kumbum 1 (1975-1987) feature-length alternative film, where 1+1 refers to the film being projected as two parallel (side-by-side) 16mm projections, each playing half of the feature film. Consequently, the runtime of this variation is cut in half. The conceptual design of the film is based on the assumptions and findings of empirical science concerning human perception of visual material. For the purposes of the film, the author of Kumbum developed a complex mathematical structure and, in accordance with it, arranged the visual material into a sequence of (thematically) diverse moving images subjected to rapid montage. This system served as a decoder for the lengths of 12,000 shots, composed of television footage combined with shots taken from the existing filmography of OM production. Kumbum drives and immerses the viewer in the visual, imposing the next piece of information on the brain even before the previous one has been processed.

Untitled (Pink Dot)

In Untitled (Pink Dot), Murata transforms footage from the Sylvester Stallone film First Blood (1982) into a morass of seething electronic abstraction. Subjected to Murata's meticulous digital reprocessing, the action scenes decompose and are subsumed into an almost palpable, cascading digital sludge, presided over by a hypnotically pulsating pink dot.
