In the Same Breath
Director: Daksha Patel
Year: 2020
The animation combines hand drawings inspired by bio-medical imagery with creative coding, which animates drawings in response to the soundtrack data. Coding and data seemed particularly relevant for the subject matter of the pandemic, because we use data and algorithms to model and predict future outbreaks.
In Pericula: At Risk
Director: Daksha Patel
Year: 2022
A performer is filmed inside a Life Science Museum wearing a costume created from objects preserved and classified in the collections. Children recite the names of species on the red list whilst a scientist carefully labels specimens. The animated film explores themes of biodiversity and human/non-human life.
The Things We Don't Say
Director: Ornella Mutoni
Year: 2024
A group of young adults born during or just after the 1994 genocide against Rwanda's Tutsi people gather to find the courage to break a powerful taboo. Rwanda is one of the few nations in the world providing specialist counselling for children conceived through rape, who number 10,000 across the country. Here, course leader Emilienne, a mother, therapist and genocide survivor, helps the group to imagine a future free from family secrets and societal stigma. In a circle of supportive peers, they tell their individual stories and face their struggles together, in the hope their participation will advocate for others facing similar trauma.
