A still image from Бабушка Галя и Дедушка Аркадий // Grandma Galya and Grandpa Arkadiy (2023, 4.5 minutes, color, sound, 16mm) by Anna Kipervasser.
A jovial and dreamy rumination on love. On time passing. On what we collect, what we hold on to, and how we maintain connection to homeplace, to ourselves.
A still image from the film Next Her Heart (2023, 12 minutes, color, sound, 16mm) by Anna Kipervasser.
Eternal recurrence and wisdom undone. The end or the beginning. Who are we that we. One and the same are the shadow cast and its cause. A hypnotic journey through the seven valleys on the way to reach the abode of the Simurgh.
A still frame from the film With The Tide, with the tide (2022, 3 minutes, color, sound, 16mm) by Anna Kipervasser
I know, you’re a seasonal beast
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide
With the tide
So until your blood runs
To meet the next full moon
Your madness fits in nicely with my own
With my own
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own
My very own
– from Sea Song by Robert Wyatt
A still from the film Terrain Ahead (2021, 20.5 minutes, color, sound, digital file) by Anna Kipervasser
A meditation on water, Terrain Ahead is a hybrid analog-digital experimental documentary exploring the trajectory of human impact on coastlines in the United Arab Emirates. The film asks questions around visibility and invisibility, around what is and can be documented and shared, and that which cannot.
