🎥: A Grave Diagnosis
A Grave Diagnosis is an avant-garde, surrealist collage film that layers audio and vintage public domain clips by superimposing advertisements, educational films, and other imagery to create jarring juxtapositions with the aim of stimulating the subconscious mind. Both the film and the brief surrealist poem included toward the end use surrealism as a means of exploring themes of shame and society’s perceptions of women’s sexuality. - Angel T. Dionne
