The Toxic Camera The Toxic Camera

Director: Jane and Louise Wilson

Year: 2012

Toxic Camera, inspired by the film Chernobyl: A Chronicle of Difficult Weeks by Soviet filmmaker Vladimir Shevchenko, reflects on the material nature of the film and the human impact of disasters like Chernobyl.

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. Official Selection International Film Festival Rotterdam 2026 - World premiere

走 (zǒu) 走 (zǒu)

Director: Hannah Wu

Year: 2025

"A journey through the pages of my mother’s old Chinese-English dictionary, featuring tigers, socialists and roundabouts." An experimental animated short about language, meaning and moving through the world (one drawing at a time). Combining ink drawings on paper with direct animation on 35mm film, various definitions of the Chinese character for ‘walk’ take on meanings in turn literal, historical, personal and abstract.
