Balancing Act
by Federica Foglia
16mm / 2025 / Canada, Italy / 6’ 46’’


A self-portrait in the mirror, although there is neither a portrait nor a mirror. The film explores the boundaries of what can and cannot be said through the remediation of a 1930 home movie, where a dance between body and hypertext unfolds.
