2021 / Moving image / 4'59
La brasse #1 is part of “I know this by heart”, a moving image trilogy initiated and led by Léa Gimpel-Lichtarz, visual anthropologist, in June 2020.
This collaborative and sensorial short film travels through physical and mental spaces, using both personal video archive, and intentionally made images, all shot on mobile phones and put together through live Zoom editing.
Through intimate conversations between the two friends, Léa creates a space for julie to share and explore her experience of dealing with mental health crises. These conversations form the basis of the short film.
