Rudzienko
Sharon Lockhart | Rudzienko
USA/Poland | 2016 | DCP | 53min | MR: 14 years old
Sharon Lockhart’s film Rudzienko was shot over three years in collaboration with the residents of the Youth Center for Sociotherapy in Rudzienko, Poland. Lockhart conceived of a series of workshops to empower the young women to find their voice. The group worked together to develop dialog and movements out of their collective activities. The resulting film depicts a mix of conversations from the philosophical to everyday teenage concerns. The Polish language film proposes an innovative approach to the relationship of image to language by offsetting the conversations with their textual translations into English, creating a space of quiet reflection.
