This is Not Here


[Sound Designer and Mixer] Kiah Gossner
[Writer & Director] Charlotte Mungomery

Two pedestal fans in dialogue. A guided meditation through the Peruvian Amazon, in a pointed parody of wellness. Memories of dentists and deathbeds. Simultaneously melancholic, erotic & ironic. This pareidolia-inducing film is a tangential contemplation on the processes, experiences and absurdities of grief in ordinary life.

Created with the support of SCREEN QUEENSLAND

A film produced in the APICHATPONG WEERASETHAKUL LAB: FILMING IN THE AMAZON
