The Root of Intimacy
This short film pays homage to the unique multiplicity of love and its paradoxically universal nature. Moving poetry becomes a doorway into the closeness of real-life lovers from Russia, America, Argentina, and South Africa.
These relationships break the boundaries of nation and sex, where togetherness defies political agendas and meets in a space beyond language and cultural codes.
The couples face one another with no external stimuli in a controlled blacked-out room to explore what intimacy means to them. The softness and subtlety of childlike experimentation lives in sharp contrast to the drive of desire.
Each relationship depicted is a testament to the mysterious essence of love— a gravitational force to this Earth and one another.
Woman is Water
In this slow-moving visual poetry, women animate and personify the aliveness of nature. The human body is seen as an extension of the land. Women are water because both are the supreme givers of life and the source of all existence. Here, they are listened to as teachers.
Flow into Me
This soft erotic art depicts the sensual core of our human nature while being
supported by the force of nature. Two girls play in the womb of a waterfall and the belly of the ocean. By having a lesbian experience in the wild, queerness is held as
natural, and sexuality is deemed fluid.
The featured artists, Roxanne and Alina are best friends in real life and have cultivated a state of love in its highest power, the ability to put another's needs on equal footing as one's own. Love naturally dissolves the ego, as does nature. There is a knowing that something greater than the self is at play— a sense of the eternal.
