The Final Collaboration with Film Explorer
This podcast episode marks the last collaboration between the Video Essay podcast and Film Explorer, featuring a curated video essay gallery. The final exhibition explores the theme of 'Re-Inhabiting the Image' through three video essays. The first work, 'Nazar Bazzi' by Mariam Tafakori, delves into how Iranian filmmakers created tactility and sensuality without depicting physical touch due to censorship. The film expands these considerations amidst the COVID pandemic, showcasing the added layer of touch prohibition. The second work, 'Three Time Shapes of Home' by Elizabeth Brune, focuses on the touch and movement of water, evoking a sense of place and home through the lens. Finally, the third work, 'Room with a Coconut View,' highlights the contradictions between the abstractness of the AI-guided tour through a resort and the sensory embodiment of dreams and touch. The podcast conversation reflects on the fragility, resistance, and complexities present in each video essay, challenging conventional notions of art, education, and touch.
