“We should never trust our narrator entirely, and this is where this sense of anxiety might come from—a state of not knowing where to place yourself and constantly having to re-define where you speak from, reshape your placing, re-configure your relationships with your surroundings, with your Other, your animal Other, your temporal Other, your racial Other, etc., as well as with the many Others which are inside oneself.”

    THE AGE OF STONE

    ANA VAZ France, 2013

    Circling around a stone edifice, this hypnotic short from Brazilian artist-filmmaker Ana Vaz conjures a sensorial soundscape of manual labor and nature. Juxtaposed with the presence of animals, like little ants building their own nest, the colossal, man-made structure both disturbs and inspires awe.

    IT IS NIGHT IN AMERICA

    ANA VAZ Italy, 2022

    A bewitching cross between an eco-horror and a documentary, Ana Vaz’s much-awaited debut feature casts a sensuous spell over the cityscape of Brasília. Threatened by extinction, the secret lives of exotic animals are vividly rendered on expired 16mm, a film stock that also verges on disappearance.
