The sounds of home filtered through reflections and refractions. Unsparing colonial authorities through sound, vision and myth. Allyship of the senses and re/actions. These five films each hover in and through windows on current resistance to apartheid, colonialism and ongoing relations to power and imperialism.

Pipit Dalam Badai (The Sparrow in the Storm)

Directed by Van Luber Parensen
Indonesia · 2023 · 22'00

A series of sounds from letters from Miriam de la Croix surrounds the life of a botanist and her three children. The contents of the letters include de la Croix's compassion for the fate of the Dutch East Indies under European colonial rule, especially the Dutch. The letters become background sound in the activities of a botanist carrying out modern work and science with his three children, where modernity and science in the Indies actually arrived at the same time as European colonialism.
