Our second edition takes earth as its starting point, produced by Talia Augustidis.
Can a fictional mushroom help a daughter seek revenge?
In Akira Kawasaki's short film Oyashirazu (Wisdom Teeth), the protagonist, Toko, lives under the suffocating control of her obsessive father, who strives to keep her skin perfect. One day, a mushroom sprouts from her forehead, triggering a rebellion within Toko, who runs away. The film enacts a personal rebellion for Akira too, who incorporates semi-autobiographical elements from her own strained relationship with her father. Unlike Toko, however, Akira's rebellion is not an escape, but rather a confrontation, as she casts her father in the very role that he inspired.
Talia is an audio artist and community organiser based in London. Her pieces have been featured in festivals around the world, from the Lucia Festival in Florence to the Tribeca Festival in New York.
