winc films Intervals
This film takes the role of the intervals between shots and frames as its central theme, inspired by the final sequence of Man with a Movie Camera by Dziga Vertov, edited by Yelizaveta Svilova. Shot remotely, the film brings together winc films’ members across geographical distances through the glance of the filmmakers themselves, galvanised by the kinetic rhythms of the intervals between shots. Filmed in Boston, Brooklyn, Cambridge, Florence, Hampshire, Horgan Switzerland, Kingston and San Diego during the summer of 2021.

Screening and Q&A Work in progress: Red light and Domestic Plights 2:30-3pm

This work in progress discloses the reality of sex work exploring, capitalism, labour, policy and legalisation.
I am currently working with an organisation based in Kings Cross called (ECP) English Collective of Prostitutes, which is an organisation of sex workers working both on the streets and indoors campaigning for decriminalisation and (WAR) Women Against Rape, who predominantly work with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. The screening and talk will also guide us through recent events, the intersectionality of race and the murder of Sarah Everard. A crime that has become a tipping point within the conversation about violence against women
