Productive Frustration

A short experimental film investigating an artists’ ongoing, everyday, both conscious and subconscious struggle to remain creatively productive in an exasperating atmosphere that has robbed her of certain sociopolitical conditions that used to define her artistic practices.

Combining different mediums, different textures and different means of expression such as stop motion animation, video, 16mm film, still images and voiceovers, Productive Frustration juxtapose thoughts and memories of both examined and unexamined past, present, and possible future.
