Uboa / Impossible Light - Philippe Grandrieux / Unrest Trilogy - Mediums of "Kinetic" Art
Uboa is the musical project of Australian-based Xandra Metcalfe; she creates music that transcends the limitations of traditional musical structure through genre experimentation. Her most recent studio album is titled 'Impossible Light' and expands upon themes of transgender identity, mental health, and grief that prominelty featured in her 2019 release, 'The Origin of My Depression'. The deep personal identity of the work combined with its unrelenting emotional impact generates a "kinetic" artistic identity akin to that of experimental filmmaker Philippe Grandrieux. Grandrieux's non-narrative "Unrest" trilogy is composed of three films, White Epilespy, Murderess (Meurtrière), and Unrest....

Просмотров 3213 месяца назад
The Bikeriders and The Wild One both explore facets of American bikeriding culture based on both truth and ficiton. From the performances Marlon Brando and Tom Hardy, the Hollister Riot, and Danny Lyon's photobook, the persona of the bikerider has mythologized itself through various depictions of masculinity. Malaise runs rampant in Jeff Nichols' film; I explore its relationship to countercultu...
A City of Sadness - When Portrayal Is Not Shown - Third Cinema in Taiwan's (Non)Fiction
Просмотров 1803 месяца назад
Hou Hsiao-hsien's 1989 film, A City of Sadness, is a landmark film in the history of Taiwanese cinema. Being the first movie to openly deal with the 228 incident, I discuss the impacts of political cinema under repression. By connecting the work to the Third Cinema movement helmed by South American collaborators Octavio Getino and Fernando Solanas, I draw similarities between its ideological te...
All of Us Strangers / The Discarnates - Love, Grief, & Transcendentalism - "Dimensional" Cinema
Просмотров 3446 месяцев назад
All of Us Strangers (dir. by Andrew Haigh) is a remake of a Japanese film, The Discarnates (dir. Nobuhiko Obayashi) which is based on Taichi Yamada's novel named Strangers. I compare and contrast Haigh's film to the other two works and contextualize them through what I dub "dimensional cinema", as well as All of Us Strangers to the tenet of American transcendentalism through the works of Ralph ...

Stop Making Sense was re-released by A24 a few months ago; I had to make a video on my experience watching it in theaters. Concert films are an integral part of my life and I wanted to share why you should care about them.

Просмотров 11 тыс.Год назад
Araki's 2004 adaptation of Scott Heim's debut novel Mysterious Skin captures the depth of the source material while creating a distinct cinematic atmosphere. Featuring two brilliant performances from Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Brady Corbet, the film is one of the many masterpieces of the 2000s. Around 30 seconds of this video in multiple instances had to be cut due to copyright issues, and the vi...

Suspiria (1977) | (2018) - The Damned: The Dog
Просмотров 764Год назад
Dario Argento's and Luca Guadagnino's respective versions of the film Suspiria are both remarkable in their own right, and I aim to capture the simultaneous horror and beauty found within them both. The song is by the English punk band The Damned - which I thought to be quite fitting for that particular scene.
