Able

Sandra Alland, 2011, 6:20min

Open Captioned
In "Able," Sandra Alland uses stop-motion photography and recorded voice to create a metaphoric and literal vision of barriers to access. The text mixes poetry with benefit applications, border control terminology, and medical and blood donor questionnaires. Notions of disability, race, class, gender identity and sexuality intersect to ask the question: Who gets to be "able"? Part of Tracey Moberly's Tweet-Me-Up at Tate Modern, 2012.

Ashes

Tom Kalin, 2014, 6:34min

Commissioned by Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2014: ALTERNATE ENDINGS

For Ashes, Tom Kalin photographed thousands of high resolution still images and "stitched" them into a moving image. While borrowing library books for research on another project, Kalin discovered, glued to the endpapers, ordinary "due date" ledgers stamped with dates spanning three decades. Inspired by these tiny ledgers—like skin or palimpsests that recorded an analogue history, an accumulation of many gestures—Kalin combines quotidian pictures snatched from his daily life with an evocative musical track by ongoing collaborator Doveman (Thomas Bartlett). The film layers dates and moments from Kalin's personal world with the public and global history of AIDS.

Please Mind The Gap

Mitali Trivedi and Gagandeep Singh, 2018, 20:00min

Hindi with English Subtitles

Delhi meets at the metro. The snaking lines of the tube now connect the whole city. Passengers’ board from different places but for a brief moment in time they are all headed in the same direction. We share one such ride with our co-traveller Anshuman, a transman. As the stations pass by we begin to look at the metro space from his perspective. His is the story of reclaiming public space and one’s own self. The doors will open on the quest. Please mind the gap.
