UCF alum Metrah Pashaee’s new experimental video Talking Me was selected from 350 international submissions to screen at the Microscope Gallery’s now what program in Brooklyn.
Talking Me is a cinematic Dadaist collage comprised of appropriations from online videos. By subtly manipulating preexisting pieces and choreographing these images to a distorted soundtrack, the film creates a dialogue between rhythm, movement, and language phonetics. Pashaee likens the work to a moving image run-on sentence.
