Future From Inside
Dani & Sheilah ReStack, 2021, US, CA, digital, 19'

Future From Inside is the final part of a trilogy about the brutality of parenthood, the balance between domestic and artistic labour, and queer desires. The films show the ReStack collaboration as it manifests itself in real life, the pain, discomfort, questions and pleasure involved in subversive parenting, spirituality, and all sorts of intimate encounters that are involved in the work. Through staged conversations between doubles of the couple about a mother’s wish, the film makes as much room for fiction as non-fiction, or at least as much room for poetry as reality. Images of extreme intimacy create moments of empathy and closeness between the viewer and the filmed, but they also show the tension and power differences that arise when real experiences are translated into images.
