Taken from found footage of 60’s glamour and explicit texts, this fabricated story conveys secret going-ons. Using a super8 projector, the spool runs freely until it is burnt or stuck. Splicing and cut-up methods have been used to reinvent the original narrative. It questions the inner fantasies of what lies behind closed doors whether that is ours or someone else’s.

‘Bengali Babble Barriers (Bengali Bera Sera)’
Direct animation, voice overs, experimental video. 5:59′

A direct animation video records the language of Bangladesh, more specifically Sylheti and Dhakhai. The language is drawn directly onto the film and appears and disappears amongst distressed found footage. The voice overs are of the artist conversing with her mother about politics and her uncle preaching religious fables. Having recently revisited Bangladesh, the video explores the confusion, the inarticulate communication, and the frustration of not being able to speak a native language with conviction.

This short experimental film is found footage which had been abandoned. The original footage shows a mother and son playing together and it seems like it was the 1960’s. The original stock has been played with felt tip pens and ink, almost like a child exploring a new material. The result is one of a distorted memory.
