Connections Across Distances

Duration: 3:09

A young woman explores her personal understanding of the mood and feeling associated with nostalgia, the longing for something past, and the humble acceptance of a profound love that was always meant to end. Movement based visuals combine with spoken word narration through an intimate letter that discusses the melancholy and joy that embodies what it means to live in New York City.

IN-CONTRO is a project that arises from the desire to investigate the relationships and correlations between the concept of space and time. The aim is to offer a vision of reality that assumes an illogical logic, for which two same bodies share the same space at the same time. The idea aims to provoke reflections upon the illusion of experiencing a shared and concrete reality online, where what we perceive as tangible is rather surreal, as it is subjected to personal interpretation and variations of space and time.

Rivas writes: “This film was made with the intention of trying to showcase my own feelings of feeling isolated but consistently trying to brush it off. I'm surrounded by so many wonderful people that it feels as though I should have no complaints; however, at times I feel lost. I wanted to use movement to showcase the feelings that I wish I could express with words.”
