Another Beautiful Dream

Synopsis

This film revisits the Chinese wallpaper from the 18th century at Harewood House. Such an exotic artefact was used by the landed gentry as a token of other to imagine the wider world. As the wallpaper was made in China, this film also explores self-representation through the artist’s personal photos.

Body, Remember... Body, Remember...

Director: Matthew Berka

Year: 2026

After C. P. Cavafy. Dedicated to the body, to remembering, to forgetting. When blinded, the senses can cross-pollinate so that they become more closely bonded. Likewise, they can also disassociate and lose contact with each other. Desire transforms things into other things. The erotics of absence and suggestion direct attention away from the materialism of pornography. Longing is described through cinematic space as distance and proximity.
