Julie Saragosa
A long process of experimentation with a variety of different filmmaking techniques while examining an evolving queer identity. The film shows an emergence of the Pink Fairy. Part femme, part tomboy, part fairy, the characters come together to subvert the idea of a fixed identity. Luminescent imagery is imprinted by hand using hand-processed colour footage, optically printing Super 8 to 16mm, 16mm to 16mm, negative to positive, video to film, and repeating motifs, to explore the intricacies of the celluloid medium. Audio emotes through random manipulations in a Brion Gysin-like cut-up technique.

This Super 8 film was first presented as part of a ritual performance where Saragosa is naked and pulls a white piece of fabric out of her "yoni", pinning it up and projecting the film onto it in reverse, while speaking the words on the film. The performance was part of a collective recreation of Carolee Schneemann’s ‘Interior Scroll.’
