Pussy Versus Putin

Pussy Versus Putin

2013 • 60 min • Russia
In 2012 two members of anarchistic female band Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in a Mordovian labor camp for "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred". Russian film collective Gogol’s Wives follow each step of the feminist punk band’s battle against Putin including their first disruptive performances on a trolley bus, shooting a video about transparent elections, a controversial performance in a Red Square cathedral, and footage shot in a jail cell. Support comes from many corners including Madonna who painted the words "Pussy Riot" on her back and wore a balaclava during her Moscow show. The documentary portrays the grim state of present-day Russia, a country starkly divided between conservatism and anarchy. Pussy Riot believes that art has to be free and they're willing to take it to extremes. "Pussycat made a mess in the house," they say, and the house is Russia. The filmmakers do not seek to moralize, they simply edit events and leave viewers to draw their own conclusions.
T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness: Queer Blues Divas of the 1920s

T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness: Queer Blues Divas of the 1920s

2013 • 29 min • United States of America
The 1920s saw a revolution in technology, the advent of the recording industry, that created the first class of African-American women to sing their way to fame and fortune. Blues divas such as Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Alberta Hunter created and promoted a working-class vision of blues life that provided an alternative to the Victorian gentility of middle-class manners. In their lives and music, blues women presented themselves as strong, independent women who lived hard lives and were unapologetic about their unconventional choices in clothes, recreational activities, and bed partners. Blues singers disseminated a Black feminism that celebrated emotional resilience and sexual pleasure, no matter the source.

I happened to take a picture after encountering a storage in Suncheon Bay. I thought it a salt barn and approached it, but it was a very different one from my expectation. Perhaps, does not memory have such a quality? Men want to see what his shades of memory create. I thought myself a sort of trajectorization in order to describe a process of consciousness. The process of the work production is to make it conceivable as a thought process what the relation between I chasing memories and another I observing it means. It is described that on the axis of time the flow of film forms an ambivalent structure of consciousness and then it gets to have a trajectory, consequently revealing such an antinomic structure. That is, the gap between the filming action to confirm the realization of substance and its picture shot in the scene show that the memory cannot be identified with its object in the subject.
