SUMMARY:The Body Undone Q&A - "Let My Body Speak" & "No Crying at the Dinner Table"
DESCRIPTION:The Body Undone: In Conversation with Loss is a programme of film screenings and discussions organised by Sana Rizvi for Oyoun's EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL. The selected films look at various kinds of loss held by different bodies - with a focus on storytelling from new voices. Using film\, an embodied memory in itself\, an invitation is made to reflect on the question: can we discover new possibilities in the workings of loss and grief by allowing spaces for these feelings to be held and acknowledged in an embodied way? \nFor this Q&A event\, Sana Rizvi will be talking to Let My Body Speak director: Madonna Adib and No Crying at the Dinner Table director: Carol Nguyen. You are invited to join in the conversation.  \nThis event will take place on zoom\, you can register here. Please note the zoom discussion will also be live-streamed on Oyoun's online platforms - Youtube\, Vimeo and Facebook. \n  \nThe films will be available for 24 hours starting at 14:00 on 17th April. \nContact us at hallo@oyoun.de to get sent the link and password to view this film. (This is limited to people in Germany)  \n  \n"Inspired by the poetry of Meena Kandasamy\, the writings of Christina Crosby and Balbir Krishan’s art\, I began my reflections on embodied memories connected to loss and grief. Their work helped me map new areas of inquiry and pose questions away from a more conventional outlook on the linear notions of loss’s predestined path\, in a culture frantic for resolution. And instead\, look at loss as holding social\, political\, and aesthetic implications for the body. A loss that doesn’t rely on linearity but that is profoundly intimate\, from the deep space and time of the self. One that is birthed from the deepest parts of our bodies and times. Moreover\, from this position of embodied knowing\, could (re) engaging with loss generate sites for memory and history\, rewriting of the past and reimagining the future? And could this engagement with loss: the irrecoverable\, become\, paradoxically\, the condition of a new anti-colonial hope and agency." - Sana Rizvi \n  \nLet My Body Speak\nMadonna Adib\n10” | UK/ Lebanon | 2020 | Arabic with English subtitles \n \n“'When I left Syria\, my body became my only land. It is the only thing I own.” \nThis documentary is a personal and intimate journey exploring the repression experienced by the filmmaker during her childhood when she faced sexual control in a Damascus also experiencing a growing socio-political repression in the late 80s early 90s. Through the creative use of family archive in Damascus mixed with current footage of her body she reconstructs the pain of the past absorbed by her body. \nIndependent filmmaker and artist\, Madonna Adib was born in Damascus\, Syria\, in 1986. She has received her B.A. in Fine Arts from the University of Damascus and went on to study Film Animation at Concordia University. She created experimental documentaries and experimental short drama films that were screened in film festivals and contemporary art museums across the world. She is one of the six founders and a photographer in the project Syrian Eyes of The World. She currently lives in Beirut\, Lebanon. \nDirector: Madonna Adib\nProduction: Noe Mendelle for Scottish Documentary Institute\nCinematography: Elsy Hajjar\nEditing: Sandra Fatte \n  \nNo Crying at the Dinner Table\nCarol Nguyen\n2019 | Canada | 15 min | Vietnamese\, English with English subtitles \n \nFilmmaker Carol Nguyen interviews her own family to craft an emotionally complex and meticulously composed portrait of intergenerational trauma\, grief\, and secrets in this cathartic documentary about things left unsaid. \n\nCarol Nguyen is a Vietnamese Canadian filmmaker based in Toronto and Montreal. Her films often explore the subjects of cultural identity\, family and memory. Carol is a 2018 Sundance Ignite fellow\, Adobe Creativity Scholar and a TIFF Share Her Journey ambassador\, where she strives to empower diverse voices and women through her own stories and personal experiences in the film industry.

DESCRIPTION:The Body Undone: In Conversation with Loss is a programme of film screenings and discussions organised by Sana Rizvi for Oyoun's EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL.

Eleven incarcerated women have volunteered to take part in a theater play. Whether to break out of their routine in prison\, to undergo some sort of therapeutic treatment or to prepare themselves for the time after their release from jail by role-play\, each partakes in the project for their own reasons. The rehearsals serve as the leitmotif for this balanced portrait that subtly frees these women from the stigma of being criminals. The women talk as mothers\, daughters and wives. Anastasiya Miroshnichenko’s documentary Debut is a rare and intimate glimpse into a seemingly distant world. \nAnastasiya Miroshnichenko studied at the Belarusian State Academy of Arts (Documentary Film Directing department) and the State Academy of Postgraduate Education (Higher School of Advertising). She has been working in television since 2008 as a director of historical\, entertainment and scientific TV programs. Her first documentary Crossroads (2014) won international TV and festivals acclaim\, had a world premiere at Warsaw IFF\, was awarded there with two prizes: Special Mention Jury Award and Audience Award. \nDirector/ Screenplay: Anastasiya Miroshnichenko\nProduction: Viktar Labkovich \nExecutive Producer: Darya Labkovich \nCinematography: Alexander Moroz\nEditor: Varfalamey Kuraga\nSound: Viacheslav Kruk\nMusic: Boris Lankov \nMore information: taskovskifilms.com \n  \nEMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL\nCurators\, artists and cultural practitioners have been exploring identities\, belonging and embodied memories through diasporic\, decolonial and queer perspectives as part of Oyoun’s first curatorial focus: EMBODIED TEMPORALITIES.

Die von Sana Rizvi ausgewählten Filme befassen sich mit verschiedenen Arten von Verlust\, getragen von unterschiedlichen Körpern - mit einem Fokus auf Erzählungen von neuen Stimmen. Der Film\, selbst ein verkörpertes Gedächtnis\, lädt Dich dazu ein\, über die folgende Frage nachzudenken: Können wir neue Möglichkeiten in der Verarbeitung von Verlust und Trauer entdecken\, indem wir Räume zulassen\, in denen diese Gefühle auf verkörperte Weise festgehalten und anerkannt werden? \nJeder Film ist während unseres EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVALS für einen ausgewählten Zeitraum verfügbar.  \nSchriebe uns unter hallo@oyoun.de\, um den Link und das Passwort zum Ansehen des Films zu erhalten. (Dies ist auf Personen in Deutschland beschränkt)  \nDebüt\nAnastasiya Miroshnichenko\n80' | Belarus | 2017 | Russisch mit englischen Untertiteln \nÜber 1.500 Frauen sind als Ersttäterinnen in einem weißrussischen Gefängnis inhaftiert. Elf inhaftierte Frauen haben sich freiwillig für die Mitwirkung an einem Theaterstück gemeldet. Um vorübergehend den Gefängnisalltag hinter sich zu lassen\, um eine Art therapeutische Behandlung zu erfahren\, um sich durch das Rollenspiel auf die Zeit nach der Haftentlassung vorzubereiten - jede nimmt aus ganz eigenen Gründen an dem Projekt teil. Die Proben dienen als Leitmotiv für dieses ausgewogene Porträt\, das die Frauen auf subtile Weise von dem Stigma befreit\, Kriminelle zu sein. Die Frauen sprechen als Mütter\, Töchter und Ehefrauen. Anastasiya Miroshnichenkos Dokumentarfilm-Debüt ist ein seltener und intimer Einblick in eine scheinbar sehr ferne Welt. \nAnastasiya Miroshnichenko studierte Dokumentarfilmregie an der Belarussischen Staatlichen Akademie der Künste und Werbung an der Staatlichen Akademie für Höhere Bildung. Seit 2008 arbeitet sie im Fernsehen als Regisseurin von historischen\, unterhaltsamen und wissenschaftlichen TV-Sendungen. Ihr erster Dokumentarfilm Crossroads (2014) wurde von internationalen Fernsehsendern und Festivals gefeiert\, hatte seine Weltpremiere auf dem Warschauer IFF und wurde dort mit einer Besonderen Erwähnung der Jury und mit dem Preis des Publikums ausgezeichnet. \nRegie/Drehbuch: Anastasiya Miroshnichenko\nProduktion: Viktar Labkovich\nProduktionsleitung: Darya Labkovich\nKamera: Alexander Moroz\nSchnitt: Varfalamey Kuraga\nTon: Viacheslav Kruk\nMusik: Boris Lankov \nWeitere Informationen: taskovskifilms.com \n  \nEMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL \nKurator*innen\, Künstler*innen und Kulturschaffende haben sich im Rahmen von Oyouns erstem kuratorischen Schwerpunkt - EMBODIED TEMPORALITIES - mit Identitäten\, Zugehörigkeit und verkörperten Erinnerungen aus diasporischen\, dekolonialen und queeren Perspektiven auseinandergesetzt.

In this hybrid film\, documentary footage from the filmmaker’s life is combined with the fictional story of a young woman returning home after the passing of her mother to scatter her ashes in the “Heavenly City.” The film is a delicate meditation on love\, loss and memory. \n\nAfter her graduation from the Motion Picture and Still Photography Department of Chulalongkorn University\, Bangkok\, Thailand\, Puangsoi Aksornsawang received many opportunities to exhibit her short film Swimming Pool at various student film festivals.
