THIRD PERSON (PLURAL)

THIRD PERSON (PLURAL) is a collage essay film based on a collection of 200 postwar USA informational films and newsreels from the Library of Congress and the American National Archives. Originating as a quest to source documents of the early European integration processes, the project unfolds into an expansive feminist re-reading of the hegemonic imperial masculine gaze. This is a bracing encounter with the gaze that produced the ‘image’ of the world as the new, Western order bound by the notion of a united Europe, the delirium of the Cold War and decolonisation processes.
