If I could name you myself (I would hold you forever) (2021)

Dir. Hope Strickland, 8min

 

Wake and soil, skin and voice: Hope Strickland’s film locates a legacy of slavery and colonial exploitation beneath the archive’s official chronicle in the deep historical memory of the body, full of quiet resistance and moments of deep, loving rebellion.

 
Cette Maison (2022)

Dir. Miryam Charles, 75min
In French and Haitian Creole with English subtitles.

 

“beautiful and unsettling, like a visit to a stranger’s unconscious”
The Guardian

This haunting, evocative work from Montréal-based filmmaker Miryam Charles weaves together her family’s personal tragedy with the story of their immigration from Haiti, offering a meditation on loss, grief, and the futures that will never be. The film takes as its center point the true story of Charles’ teenage cousin Tessa, who was found hanging in her Connecticut bedroom in an assumed suicide until the autopsy revealed otherwise. Ten years later, Charles offers a poetic and visually stunning exploration of events real and imagined surrounding the unsolved crime, exploring notions of home and displacement, belonging and violence.
