WE GOT OLD

(2003)

10 MINUTE 16MM DANCE FILM

Collaboration with choreographer/dancer Annie Lok. Shot in London and Hong Kong, the film imagines a series of tableaux that revisit a place from the past and/or memory, alluding to notions of nostalgia and acceptance of the passing of time.

“As in all her films, Rachel displays a command over the apparatus that is playful yet precise. The welcome air of auteurism in her films makes for precisely executed forms. Rachel's ability to communicate clearly and lucidly makes her films not subversive in a manner that undermines or disavows the audience. Indeed Rachel derives from the indeterminacy of image and sound, that she only enhances through post-production intervention in a manner that is pressingly provocative.” — Aparna Sharma
