The Octopus
7 min, 16mm/digital, 2018
Exposing histories and dialogues from forgotten footage; film reviews are read over the found footage from other filmophiles who frequent the archives. The comments offer a further critique of the history of objectification women face about their bodies in the media. The footage transforms from being included in an early exploitation film, under the guise of an educational piece about venereal diseases and lesbianism to a film that highlights the beauty of bodies with slight interferences to the actual footage.
