In anticipation of our three-day event on November 12-13-14, this coming Wednesday we will screen two singular films representing two sides of the Field Recordings spectrum.
In his short film South, artist and writer Morgan Quaintance traces two anti-racist and anti-authoritarian liberation movements – in South London and Chicago’s South Side. Interlinked with the filmmaker’s own history and biography, South is an expressionistic exploration of what happens when speech is muted, bracketed, and ignored. Morgan Quaintance will be one of three attending artists during Field Recordings 3 and we were lucky enough to be able to commission a new work by him, which we will preview on November 14th.
South by Morgan Quaintance, 2020, UK, 28 minutes, English
The feature documentary One Says No traces the expansions and contractions of gentrificiation and urban development in China's Jilin Province. Chronicling the life of an activist who aims to resist and challenge property developers, filmmaker Zhao Dayong points towards the perplexing power relations between government and citizens. Filmed in the tradition of observational cinema, One Says No is a poignant portrait of a village in flux.
