SHORT FILM PROGRAM II

De France, Saal 1 | TICKETS
Part of the focus program sonic frictions

An incessant pull towards movement, embodied in both physical and narrative rhythms, repetitions and choreographies. Practices of layering, reassembling and resignifying material allow for dissonance and synchronicities between image and sound to reveal ruptures and open up spaces for reimagination and fabulation. Disrupting archival silence and violence through bodily gestures, choral arrangements and textual interruptions, embodiment and dance are posed as ways of knowing that contest hegemonic regimes of meaning and image making.

Onyeka Igwe is an artist and researcher working between cinema and installation, born and based in London, UK. In her non-fiction video work, Onyeka uses dance, voice, archive and text to expose a multiplicity of narratives.
