DE HUMANI CORPORIS FABRICA (dir. Véréna Paravel, Lucien Castaing-Taylor, 2022) | U.S. Premiere A thrilling new work of nonfiction exploration which uses microscopic cameras and specially designed recording devices to survey the wondrous landscape of the human body. #NYFF60

Assuredly subversive in their approach, @ernstkarel and @VKusumaryati nearly imageless, yet sensorially rich film is a bold attempt to shake cinema out of its formal rigidities. A decidely liberating experience even for the most seasoned moviegoers.

"How do the expedition’s sound archives speak to its colonial and imperial contexts?" Read @VKusumaryati & @ernstkarel's article: "Expedition Content and the Harvard Peabody Expedition to Netherlands New Guinea, 1961" in MAST's latest release: mast-journal.org/vol-2-no-2-2021

And we’re going to be looking into the Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab very strongly. They’re making movies, it’s some really weird stuff. They call it Leviathan — I’ve been fishing. I’ve gone fishing, and I caught beautiful fish, no net. Manakamana. Mana. Ka. MANA

Blending and subverting various cinematic forms, 'Sweetgrass' and 'Leviathan' both see the innovative Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab working at the height of its powers. Read Bennett Glace's essay from our Best of the 2010s film series here: splittoothmedia.com/sweetgrass-lev…
