International Premiere
Two pedestal fans in dialogue propound a pointed parody of wellness. These ambiguous forms are perceived as objects with meaning, and spin tangential contemplation on the processes, experiences and absurdities of grief. Produced with the personal guidance of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, as part of the Amazon-based PlayLab film program for emerging experimental artists, This Is Not Here is also a sort of sleepy, guided meditation through the Peruvian jungle.
