RestFest Film Festival is honoured to present the World Premiere of Sop's newest work: 'We Year'
About the Film:
A mixed media, moving-image (love) letter to others with energy-limiting conditions. Using 16mm direct animation, archival & new footage, poetic voiceover, and an ethereal soundscape, artist Sop immerses the viewer into the both isolating and unifying experience of a chronic illness flare during a hot summer indoors.
This event is part of the larger We Year Programme, a series of interdisciplinary events and workshops inspired by and responding to the themes of the film We Year by Sop, held by various crip and disabled friends and allies, including RestFest, The Remote Body, as well as Resting Up Collective x Ort Gallery via the Crip Resistance II programme.
