Ever-normal Granary

Marlies Pöeschl

2022, 23:36 minutes, Colour

⊕Add to OrderReview Order

In the year in which this film is set, there was no summer. The grain remained in the ground. Apparently though, enough grain was safely stored in a large brick building. This film shifts through a labyrinthine structure, looking at the idea and architecture of buffer stock schemes such as the "ever-normal… ⊕

⊕Add to OrderReview Order

Sometimes, escapism can become the very thing you're running from. You Suffer (2021) is a short pseudo-psychological experimental film indulging both my angst and my most nerdy desires. Going back to a middle-school method, I chronicle my semi descent into madness through machinima as I muse over my escapist obsession with the… ⊕

Two black and white images are side by side in a split screen. In the image on the left, we look up towards the ceiling of a big white room with a white column on the left. A woman in dark clothing is leaning over a metal stool. She is on her knees with one arm reaching to the floor and the other arm folded under her chest. The end of a walking stick is visible on the floor to the right. In the image on the right, a woman with short hair and glasses and wearing a dark shirt is lying awkwardly on the top of a metal stool. She has one arm folded under her chest and the other is reaching down. Her head is leaning over the edge of the stool facing down. Her body fills most of the picture frame.

Magic in Plain Sight is a portrait of self-taught seamstress Brenna Bezanson, a change-maker in her own right, who challenges capitalist and patriarchal ideals in her creation of custom women's clothing. Brenna takes us through her wardrobe of hand-made garments, each a journal entry, talisman, and bit of magic she wears out… ⊕
