Her Glass Flower House
Director: Katharine Fry
Year: 2021
A fever dream of illness and recovery combining stop motion animation and live action in a doll’s house. A woman arrives ahead of her family at a rented house, describing the ideal life they will build together. What happens does not reflect her homemaker vision. Instead, the house and its contents confront her body as external expressions of her struggle to survive.
Before her investiture, the novice must hear what she has to, learn what she has to, shape what she has to, say.
Director: Katharine Fry
Year: 2018
A truncated woman thrusts awkwardly from a school-desk, motionless except for her spinning, shaking mouth. The novice must rehearse the lesson dictated by an unseen voice. She must sacrifice unbounded desire, press it into language, into discipline, into rule. Her body refuses the lesson but remains trapped by its rote.
Anak Where Did We Stay?
Director: Sadia Pineda Hameed
Year: 2026
ANAK WHERE DID WE STAY? is a five-channel film by Sadia Pineda Hameed that brings together The Box’s home movie collection and the artist’s personal/family collection. Rasheed Araeen’s chakras, spouting waves, Beatlesmania, a basking shark, hula dance, an Enoch Powell protest, tidal islands and seafoam floating into the air—the archives converge across time to tell the story of the artist’s mother’s migration from one archipelago to another: the Philippines to the British Isles. The film becomes a gathering site for personal and collective experiences of journeys, resilience and belonging. Road trips unexpectedly reenact the archive, footage finds itself out of context, voices commentate the film as if rewatching a home movie together; mimesis, associations and autonomy are central to the retelling. As camcorders became more accessible from the 1970s onwards, home movies were an unconscious means to rebuild personal archives after colonial displacement, extraction and erasure. ANAK WHERE DID WE STAY?, named after the home movie from The Box’s archive 'Perranporth Where Did We Stay?', unfolds as a conversation between the artist and her mother, exploring the three interconnected journeys of migration, holidays and remembering. Produced as part of The Box’s Reimagining the Film Archive programme (BFI Screen Heritage Fund).
