Longing for Spring

Zdrowaśki

Invalid Date

A poetic coming-of-age, in which the characters drift through memories, searching for a place in a world that constantly casts them aside. An intimate, indie-aesthetic story about reminiscences preserved on camera, lost and regained bonds and people learning to grow up within a space lacking both home and the assurance that anyone is waiting for their return.

Regard Silence

2023

“I love poetry because it makes me feel like my mind expands.” In Regard Silence, that's the very first sentence expressed—in sign language of course. Watching the poems signed by deaf people in this film has a similarly mind-expanding effect. That’s because sign language—the Mexican version in this case—is a very different means of communication than written or spoken language.

Tears in Rain

Digital images decomposing in rain-like effects. A visual poem, trying to capture the poetics of a cinematic rain shower into the structure of its images. Still images from the 1982 science fiction film noir classic Blade Runner become animated, a frozen memory of two lovers is washed away in time.

Burning Batteries

2023

In the tradition of experimental genres such as the cut-up, collage, permutation, altered book, & erasure poem, ‘Burning Batteries’ dissects the idea of the book in both a literal & philosophical way. Books are usually thought of as 2D, static, fixed pieces of historically relevant narratives – ReVerse Butcher wants you to (re)think books as contested spaces for possible intervention, creative agency, & rebellion. She sees books as multi-layered places where multiple meanings hide behind the illusion of being locked-in by consensus reality.

A l'Aube d'un Renouveau

2023

In this farewell letter to Ana (aka Anorexia), I reveal the suffering associated with this illness. I sincerely express my deep desire to regain my freedom and vitality by sharing not only my progress but also my relapses. Through the interweaving of drawings and poetry, I share this quest for reconstruction, which I hope will help raise awareness of this mental illness and bring a little hope to people affected by it and those around them.
