The film is based on two poems – “Holes” and “Bone” ­– by American poet Eileen Myles, the iconic lesbian voice and permanent figure of the poetic New York scene. In the May of 2017, she came to St. Petersburg, Russia, to present a book – the first published Russian translations of her selected poems. The film is a dialog between Eileen and me, post-soviet queer visual artist.

It was the 1990s in Río Tercero, a small town in the Argentine province of Córdoba. At the Garayalde family home, 900 meters from the river and 300 meters from a military factory, the children play with their new toy: a video camera purchased to register los recuerdos. What is not yet known, however, is that family memories will intertwine with one of the most lurid episodes in the country’s recent history and will lie at the heart of a film which delicately acknowledges that images outlive bodies.Read More »

The geologist Lance Hackett is employed by an Australian mining company to map the subsoil of a desert area covered with ant hills prior to a possible uranium extraction. His work is impeded by some aborigines who explain that this is the place where the green ants dream. Disturbing their dreaming will destroy humanity they claim. Hackett informs the company which offers various “solutions” such as a large amount of money or a percentage of a possible revenue. Invited on a trip to a city some of the aborigines sees a military aeroplane and express the wish to own it. The company buys it and gives it to the aborigines as a sign of good will. A runway is made in the desert and the plane is flown to the location. All negotiations concerning the area fail and the dispute goes to a court of the Commonwealth.
