Without shame, Liberty Antonia Sadler, UK, 2018, 1.43mins


An animated self portrait, celebrating the larger body, reclaiming body autonomy and working through fatphobia & body dysmorphia.    This short animated film acts as a declaration of body positivity; created through the act of hand drawn animation, a process of the artist drawing herself hundreds of times to achieve acceptance and reconnection with her physical self in a body shaming society.
​

Breast Friends, Caitlin Young, UK, 2019, 5.51mins

​

Euphoria, Katalin Egely, Hungary, 2018, 4.00mins

The subject of this work is the old paradox between man and nature. People had long ago cut themselves off of their natural environment and have suffered since from this division, the lack of the essential feeling of unity and belonging.   Although we do see nature’s own hierarchy we took a view too long to see how our human nature is defined by it, and, eventually started seeing ourselves as something different and separate. The overall truth however is hardly ever the truth of one unit, let it be in nature or our society. One’s joy might lead to another’s tragic fate. A crumb on my table is what you would need to survive.    In this world everything is of the same value with equal importance, and everything has a spirit, a role and is filled with life. We humbly accept brutality as part of the world and by doing so we can also experience the unity that frees us all from the sufferings of isolation. We are all part of the same struggles and harmony, ‘lifeless’ elements and living creatures alike, of this frantic dance of euphoria and acceptance.


To Melt/ To crystallize, Hollie Miller, UK, 2019, 3.13mins

‘To Melt/ To Crystallize’ is a short film conceptualised, shot and performed by Miller during her residency at the Serlachius Museum in Finland. The film explores her desire to ingest the sugar-coated landscape through her body only for it to overpower her in a symbiotic relationship. Set by a frozen lake and in an empty gallery the first part of this film switches between dynamic ideas around looking, nurturing and adorning; juxtaposed with static endurance sections in reference to the spiritual. The second part of the film explores Miller’s fear of erasure induced by the intoxicating beauty of the frozen lake. The soundtrack of this film has been made by composer Craig Scott with vocals by Miller.


EL HOR, Dianne Lucille Campbell, Ireland, 2018, 13.50mins

Libertas, Melisa Aller, Argentina, 2019, 3.10mins
LIBERTAS is an evocation of Ana Mendieta in body and identity. Here it is unfolded, it is (de) built, it is erected in a body confronted with movements painfully conditioned to break limits. Do we exist? ... To question our cultures is to question our own existence, our human reality. To confront this fact means to acquire an awareness of ourselves. This in turn becomes a search, a questioning of who we are and how we will realize ourselves. Ana wrote in Dialectics of Isolation.
