Ben, a timid film student, decides to invite his new friends to make a documentary about a local legend. Little does he know that what he discovers while filming will be his worst nightmare.
An experimental Super 8 short that confronts the paradox of resistance within an unyielding system. Filmed during the 2022 anti-TERF protest in New York, its flickering, grainy images capture bodies and voices pushing against an invisible force. Over these visuals, a reading of Andrea Dworkin’s The Great Punctuation Typography Struggle reflects on language as both weapon and cage—who wields it, who submits to it, who is silenced by it. Chants of “TERFs go home!” and “Trans women are women!” pulse through the soundscape, urgent yet bound by the weight of systemic resistance. The film becomes more than a document of protest—it’s an inquiry into how struggles for liberation can, at times, mirror the structures they resist, lingering in the tension between defiance and entrapment, permanence and change.
In 1978, Fassbinder documented the socio-political circumstances of his time.

Disjointed moments from the filmmakers’ daily lives during the past year. Captured on a 1985 VHS camcorder with color and luminosity distorted by its failing color Newvicon tube. Cut with distorted tape-recorded fragments of nostalgic broadcast television ephemera. Scored by whatever was handy— from an ambient electronic song with a surprising amount of pipe organ (Oneohtrix Point Never - Boring Angel) to midi versions of your favorite SNES soundtrack (Donkey Kong Country – Aquatic Ambience, Opening, and Treetop Rock) to a not-quite-right rendition of a song that will make you want to say “Oh, Angelo, that’s tearing my heart out!” (Xiu Xiu – Falling). A voyeuristic peak at home movies that exist somewhere between soon to be forgotten and forgotten long ago. The occasional dot matrix time stamps in the corner of the footage somehow make it harder to place in time.
