Apiyemiyekî? 2020
Some thoughts: superimposition and the texture of the film stood out, sound was also striking. Beautiful soundtrack in particular, I think lots of her films share a wonderful capability to utilize sound and music in enchanting ways.
Also- I couldn’t help but think about the absent voices of the subjects of the film. I think I need to rewatch. However- during an artist talk she mentioned that it was impossible to speak with the Waimiri-Atroari as most of the communities signed agreements with extractivist companies to be silent on the genocides that were committed against them.

The Novelist's Film 2022
I’m not sure how to put this into words but the sensation I get from hong sang soos movies is the presence of magic. A very benign mundane magic that’s present in the bumping of a small sign outside of a bookstore, the gaze of a passing child through a window, the soft murmurs of his own voice behind the camera. This movie felt like something coming alive in spring, after a long long winter.
