DESCRIPTION:
 In Jessica BardsleyaEUR(TM)s evocative, award-winning 
 films, landscapes serve as potent metaphors for 
 emotional states. The humid darkness of underground 
 caves, geological striations of the desert, and 
 unfamiliar topographies of celestial bodies become 
 sites to explore pain, fear, resilience, and a 
 desire for transcendence.\n
 Bardsley draws her images from iconic films like 
 THELMA & LOUISE and GIRL, INTERRUPTED as well 
 as educational films, documentaries, and her own 
 observational footage, weaving them into exquisite, 
 shape-shifting essays that connect her own personal 
 histories to broader cultural narratives. \n
 Bardsley presents a selection of works from the 
 last decade, including THE BLAZING WORLD (2013), 
 THE MAKING AND UNMAKING OF THE EARTH (2018), GOODBYE 
 THELMA (2019), INTO THE CANYON (2014-22), and 
 LIFE WITHOUT DREAMS (2022). Jessica Bardsley, 
 2013-22, USA, ca 75 minutes plus audience discussion. 
 Digital video and 16mm. In English.\n\n
