International Competition 2: Through Mist and Fogs, it Screams Through The Bones
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Alegrías Riojanas, dir. Velasco Broca, Spain 2022, 28 min.


Confiment of the mind can instigate a reign of terror. To weaken the rakshasa, the solitary songs of the divine must be felt. Like all orientations of the spirit, we can find sensitivity and strength in tenderness and indivisibility. A government agent during Chile’s dictatorship’s secret life reveals grim fractures between mind and country, and a woman returns to her childhood home during the pandemic.
