JILL, UNCREDITED

Anthony Ing
UK, Canada, 2022
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.

Film extras seldomly catch our attention – they, those fleeting presences, stuck in our peripheral view, who exist within the frame to lend credibility and coherence to the narrative space. Jill, Uncredited is both a eulogy to these figures, encapsulated within the titular actress Jill, and an exercise, an invitation to regard the cinematic frame in a different fashion, one that reverses the usual hierarchies of looking, while questioning the archetypes of supporting characters and the actions that make them fit in and go unnoticed. From TV shows and B movies to films directed by the greats of the universal canon (including Hitchcock, Schleisinger, Corman, Lynch, and even Kate Bush!), passing through a vast array of historical eras, Jill walks, Jill runs, Jill cheers, Jill dances, Jill is a witness to the history of modern cinema.

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.

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.

ALL MY SCARS VANISH IN THE WIND

Angélica Restrepo, Carlos Velandia | Duration 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.
