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.

Judith Halberstam proposes in his book The Queer Art of Failure, that “[failure] could be the source of misery and humiliation…it also leads to a kind of ecstatic exposure of the contradictions of a society obsessed with meaningless competition”. MAY THE BEST LOSER WIN subverts our conventional definitions of success and failure, characterising uncontrollable events as absurd, unseen opponents that play both with and against us in the game of life. Throughout the film, tribulations are met with curiosity and intrigue, losing is celebrated, and the preconceived rules of winning are twisted to become a rapturous, inspired failure.

Authentic self-reflection takes vulnerability, but it is necessary. SHARDS OF SELF explores the bitter-sweet nature of examining one’s self-image; where do our value and worth come from? There is both pain and beauty that comes with answering this question, and it is so vital to have others who will walk alongside you in the most challenging moments.

This film is an interdisciplinary collaboration by dance, film, and music students at Simon Fraser University. Featuring a 90% POC cast and crew, "shards of self" was conceptualized and choreographed by Roya Pishvaei, with artistic contributions from Mikela Vuorensivu and Andrea Isea Galindo.
