You Can See the Sun in Late December
6.5 minutes • 2010 • HD & 16mm

Beautiful emptiness, anguish and calm, absence rendered visible and traces of presence in the winter light, all intensified by the damned (non) question of maternity.  Filming every frigid day in the final month as a strategy for overcoming deflated motivation.

Her Heart is Washed in Water & Then Weighed
13 minutes • 2006 • super 8mm & 16mm



The Waiting Time is an experimental documentary exploration of desire, conception, and the long waiting time of gestation. It is a study of a year in my body at age 35, becoming a mother for the first time. As a thinking woman's sex education film, The Waiting Time is a feminist attempt to address and articulate the question of maternal subjectivity – the experience of motherhood for the mother herself.

Honorable Mention, Humboldt International Short Film Festival, 2006

The Waiting Time
17 minutes • 2005 • 16mm

This Existence is Material weaves together two tales – one of an unlikely friendship between an elderly male writer and a young female filmmaker, the
other of a poet who flies to Rome to incite an uprising against fascism in the 1930s. This Existence is a counter-archive of the past in which public images
and private lives, the Old World and the New, collide. The film reflects on how boundaries between genders and generations are shaped by vision and
language, by technology and warfare. In Esperanto with English subtitles.

Second Prize, Onion City Experimental Film Festival, 2003

Her Heart is Washed in Water and Then Weighed is a meditation on motherhood and mortality that takes its title from a procedure in the autopsying of a human corpse. Subtle juxtapositions evoke parallels between static monuments and living families to suggest what is lost to time and age. When you die, everything you know – including this – disappears.
