And then she said, “You have a future, but it looks a lot like your past” is a collaborative project by Helen Anna Flanagan and Marijke De Roover. The film and live performance centres around Écriture féminine, or "women's writing” as a way of decentring conventional modes of writing, claiming space and giving rise to feminist voices as an ecstatic torrent of words. A group of six women explore trauma and collectivity, whilst making reference to popular-culture with an associative and non-linear musical narrative.
Directors : Marijke De Roover, Helen Anna Flanagan

“Deeply, Madly” Centrale for contemporary art - Brussels (april 2022)
Release : 2022
Synopsis
Burdened by an irrational fear of being pushed onto the metro tracks, a woman muses on what it is to fall. To fall flat, but also to fall heavily in love, deep into sleep, or into a holiday pool that time on a faraway Greek Island at 2am. Water acts as an important element. Waves keep crashing, summoning Deeply, Madly as an obsession with moments of being mid-motion—bodies, emotions and time that all succumb to gravitational forces—from the lovesick, to the slapstick, to the macabre. The film Deeply, Madly will be shot in two phases throughout 2022 and rely on the seasonal shifts in weather (winter vs summer).
