IN RESIDENCE AT VAA NAC

@laura__weissenberger Anna Lugmeier and Laura Weissenberger-Silva engage with lost fragments of femme storytelling and myth-making in their filmic collaboration. Currently they are writing on a screenplay for a Sci-Fi short film set in the Parnidis dune, following its characteristics of a living time capsule organism.
They use Script, editing, and visual composition as tools that directly correlate the articulation of narratives to the living conditions of FLINTAQ people and understanding film making as deeply entangled into tangible conditions of a patriarchal culture. They especially focus on the critical interaction with the medium film itself, looking at the extractive gesture of their filmic tools and thus including them as active characters to the field of the narrative.
During the second part of their residency at NAC they focused on location scouting, revising the script, conducting on-site research in the dunes, and meeting with possible collaborators for this project.
