Loom Body by Jessica Nupen @jessicanupen screened at Dance on Camera Festival 2026.

Woman and a machine, both creators of unexpected beauties and art. The labouring loom and the labouring body are trained, skilled, well-oiled, hard-working bodies of processing, churning, weaving and repeating. They work with maturity and learned precision and yet wear the marks of their crafts etched into their bodies.

Your film could be next. Selected films screen in New York City (March 31 to April 4, 2027).

Late deadline: October 14. Submit on FilmFreeway, link in bio.
