This film documents an aimless walk through one of Kyoto's former outcaste neighbourhoods, which continues to exist below normal Japanese living standards. Despite pro-active legislation, people from families associated with such areas can experience discrimination. The soundtrack was created using a self-built apparatus we call "The Octopus". Voltages from light sensors on the projection screen control an analogue modular synthesizer allowing the film itself to act as a score. Soundtrack created in collaboration with Malte Steiner.

El Cacao: The Challenge of Fair Trade

El Cacao: The Challenge of Fair Trade

2015 • 19 min
EL CACAO exposes the dark side of chocolate production in Latin America by examining the economics of Fair Trade from the point of view of the indigenous farmers as they attempt to sustain their community through the growth, harvest, and trade of cacao beans in the global market. This 20-minute documentary film highlights the life of an indigenous Ngabe farmer in Panama and his unconditional devotion to this so-called "superfood." The film threads together the themes of neoliberal ideology, human rights, and the economics of the chocolate industry. While the demand for chocolate in developed nations continues to raise, the farmers in developing countries, like Panama, are rarely awarded the economic incentive promised to them. The film utilizes cinema verite techniques with candid interviews. Most of the film hinges on intimate shots in personal working and living space within a small Ngabe community in the Bocas del Toro region of Panama.

Monologue

2015 • 19 min
Three video works comprise the ‘MONOLOGUE Trilogy.’ MONOLOGUE, the first in the trilogy, is a moving exploration of Cambodia’s violent past and reflects on the nature of trauma. Vandy Rattana’s monologue is to the sister he has never met, and reveals his struggle coming to terms with the violence and loss experienced by his family and country. …far away, over there, the ocean is the last film of the trilogy to be produced (but arranged as the second to be viewed). It journeys with the character of a young painter who believes landscapes are but projected illusions of beauty and sensations produced by fragments of experiences in life. Funeral, the series’ third work, explores notions of history – both disclosed and occluded – as well as memory, amnesia and trauma. It dwells on Cambodia’s landscape – a terrain bearing the weight of lives lived, and buried, within its soil.
