Sustained movement undermines the powers that oppress. In the face of injustice and its insidious cousin, indifference, may we amplify joy. May there be music, may there be singing, may there be dancing. May we set our wings aflame and take to the sky. May we send messages of resistance and love through the airwaves and may we build monuments that reach the heavens. And if these monuments should collapse, may we revel in the beauty that remains. May we do this again and again.

The mechanical production of the camera is articulated through the mechanics of the body. This choreographic journey of a film strip overlays the physicality of the analog filmmaking process and the anatomy of the human body. This is a symbolic study of the mechanical reproduction of light and life through film. The film's final chapter is animating the dance notation motifs of the Leban technique, a unique language for recording the choreographic movement.
