Hereafter is a collection of experimental visions from the beyond. This film incorporates footage shot on 16mm film, film reprinted and reprocessed from 16mm found footage or from digital footage that was then scratched, boiled, flared with light, cross-processed then scanned and composted and reanimated digitally. Hereafter aims to open a dialogue on death; highlighting individual experiences and examining the various thoughts and beliefs of what happens when we die. It asks each of us to examine our own mortality, and our own experiences with death.

Hereafter

You pile up associations the way you pile up bricks. Memory itself is a form of architecture”--Louise Bourgeois. In this movement based visual poem a woman inside her childhood home gathers memories, some fond and some painful, as she travels from room to room. Can she break out of her history? Will she master her memories and find freedom? This short film, part Magical Realism and part environmental dance piece, explores the ways our memories can define and haunt us if we let them wall us in.
