Acts of Memory explores cinematic and national history through the retelling of a story of an archive lost to war and its virtual reconstruction a century later. Balancing contemplation with wit and playfulness, the film bridges past, present, and future, bringing 16mm film into collision with AI technology..
A meditation on crip time as resistance by a chronically ill filmmaker. Shot on Super 8 and non-toxically eco-processed with plant materials by hand.
A film titled Dance Movie (aka Rollerskate) appears in many Warhol filmographies, but no work with this title can be found in the Collection. The lost film, starring dancer Fred Herko gliding on a single roller skate, was shot in 1963. Goddess of Speed poetically reimagines the missing film.
An open invitation to long-buried Anger, of whom we are no longer afraid. Fan-made supercuts of a perpetrator turned actor are repurposed and re-printed onto 16mm. Rage is shamelessly reclaimed as we find something to do about it. There is not even a need to yell.
As she travels to the Philippines to meet her extended family for the first time, a filmmaker sends her mother a letter attempting to explain why, in a language she doesn’t speak. Hand-processed film prints are destroyed; emulsion is lifted, recycled, and collaged into a portrait of family, diaspora, and the spaces constructed in our imagination.
