The films in this program engage with questions of home(land), gazing from both temporal and physical removes. At once abstract and forcefully lucid, Rhea Storr’s Okay Keskidee! Let Me See Inside builds upon the artist’s ongoing commitment to stories from the Caribbean diaspora in the UK, in this case the forced removal of a London community to make place for luxury condos. An evocative montage work that threads together citations from Jean-Luc Godard, Fairuz, Mahmoud Darwish, and more, Taleb Lachheb’s Le Meilleur Spectateur de la piece historique qui se joue sur terre reflects on the tragic, carceral nature of the Palestinian condition. Also reworking sourced material—unauthored, faded 35mm stills from the 1970s the director found at a rummage sale—Mike Stoltz’s Pinktoned places them alongside his own pseudo-surveillance footage of LA passersby seen from his window. The program closes with Pierre Creton’s elegant yet incensed Still Life Primavera. Recorded from a fixed camera inside the director’s home over several weeks, it captures shifts in light, fog, and wildlife on the other side of the glass, along with reflections of news reports from Gaza.
