Self Portrait (Decomposed) is an exploration of the transsexual body through the practice of process cinema.

Human Movie: Six Meditations on a Compression Algorithm contrasts computational processes of diffusion models and the human metaphors used to describe them—such as temperature, creativity, image recognition, memory, reason and the unmodeled. It is a spiritual sequel to the 2023 film Flowers Blooming Backward Into Noise. Created from a blend of glitched AI-generated video, archival and found footage, the film is not about machines at all, but rather, seeks to assert a humanist counterfactual to comparisons between human thought and the limited capacities of generative AI. The film approaches these metaphors at face value, but slowly peels back the superficial nature of such comparisons to examine the nuance, and appeal, behind the comparisons of humans and today’s computer systems.

Disaster Free is an AI film that speculates upon the shifting hydrological systems driven by global warming. Set in the near future, the film narrates a third-person account of the events leading to the flood of Singapore. It challenges the common perception of Singapore as a disaster-free zone, confronting the notion that we are distinct and somehow protected from the waters that surround us. The film follows Yuexi, a young Singaporean who grew up believing Singapore was disaster-free. As rising sea levels and storms ravage the island, she watches Singapore transform into a half-submerged city. Once-familiar places become vague memories, clashing with a new reality of floating retrofitted homes and skyscrapers turned shelters. Reflecting on the past, Yuexi realizes that the boundaries between land and water were never as clear as she thought.
Aftersong is a film-poem based on the writings of the English nature writer Richard Jefferies and the music of French composer Lili Boulanger.

Crisp.
