ALL MY SCARS VANISH IN THE WIND

Angélica Restrepo, Carlos Velandia
Colombia, 2022
14 min.

Among intrusive and sought-after memories, a woman hears a disconcerting call from the depths of her being. A cryptic cry for help that becomes intelligible guides her to the original wound, to her inner child, becoming her own protector.

Some questions concerning the territory of representation are becoming recurrent in contemporary experimental cinema. “How does one represent an abstract space?” or “How does one represent trauma in a way that is not (re)traumatizing?”. In All My Scars Vanish in the Wind, Angélica Restrepo and Carlos Velandia find a cross-cutting answer to these questions. By turning to an ingenious portrayal of affective memory – a non-linear textual narrative, that jumps between episodic memories, and a visual narration, that employs the spatial and tactile memory of an apartment – the co-directors retrace the testimony of a female survivor of domestic abuse, encapsulating the sensation of scatteredness (of thoughts, memories, emotions) through the pointillist style of the film’s 3D graphics.

SENSITIVE CONTENT

Narges Kalhor | Duration 8 min.

After the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, massive women’s rights and anti-authoritarian protests erupted across Iran, which were violently suppressed by the regime in Teheran. Using social media sensitivity filters as a central metaphor, Sensitive Content explores how one witnesses and documents both historical events and dissent in the modern age.

NOCTURNE FOR A FOREST

Catarina Vasconcelos | Duration 16 min.

In the 15th century, in Portugal, a group of Catholic monks build a wall around a forest and prevent the entry of women.

MAST-DEL

Maryam Tafakory | Duration 17 min.

Two women lie together in bed. As the wind bashes against the window, one recalls a past date to the cinema. A love song that would never pass through the censors, Mast-del is about forbidden bodies and desires, both inside and outside post-revolution Iranian cinema.

JILL, UNCREDITED

Anthony Ing | Duration 18 min.

As one of the world’s most prolific background actors, Jill Goldston has remained relatively unknown up to now, despite her very impressive filmography. Anthony Ing’s found footage film poignantly reclaims her image and work, celebrating both her artistic contributions, as well as modern cinema and pop culture.

BEAR

Morgane Frund | Duration 19 min.

A seemingly innocuous project – the digitization of the archives of an amateur filmmaker who made a hobby out of filming bears – turns into a wholly different process when the images reveal more than just natural landscapes. A confrontation about the power of a gaze and its voyeuristic violence.
