A haunting 16mm visual poem that explores a woman’s identity as it distorts, fractures, and stitches itself back together.
Director statement
Through the destruction of the film image using mixed media animation, this piece examines how stories, mythology, and symbolism shape identity. This isn’t a film about loss, but rather a meditation on why we mourn certain versions of ourselves.
Bio
Sofie Jo Lebow is a filmmaker, artist, and poet living in Prague. Her work moves between the surreal and the hyperreal, inhabiting a space where dreams, nightmares, and the mundane blur. Her recent projects are process-centered and deeply collaborative, existing between experimental and narrative film, where she creates tactile worlds through the integration of fine arts, mixing analog film, 2D animation, mixed media, and discovering new methods.
Pebbles Underground is focused on showcasing and promoting experimental, avant-garde, underground, and no-to-low budget projects by artist-humans from all over the world. Absurd, uncanny, witty, humorous, slow-video – all are welcomed, and loved.
Pebbles Underground is an independent project not funded by any government or corporation, and we intend to keep it that way. Main source of funding is personal donations from humans organizing the project, who are artists themselves, and the main drive of the project is formed by the energy and involvement of the organizers, and the public.
