{"product_id":"your-history-with-me-sarah-nuttall-9781478030430","title":"Your History with Me: The Films of Penny Siopis","description":"Penny Siopis is internationally acclaimed for her pathbreaking paintings and installations. \u003ci\u003eYour History with Me\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive study of her short films, which have put her at the front ranks of contemporary artist-filmmakers. Siopis uses found footage to create short video essays that function as densely encrypted accounts of historical time and memory that touch on the cryptic and visceral elements of gender and power. The critics, scholars, curators, artists, and filmmakers in this volume examine her films in relation to subjects ranging from the history of Greeks in South Africa, trauma and cultural memory, and her relationship with the French New Wave to her feminist-inflected articulations of form and content and how her films comment on apartheid. They also highlight her global South perspective to articulate a mode of filmmaking highly responsive to histories of violence, displacement, and migration as well as pleasure, joy, and renewal. The essays, which are paired with vivid stills from Siopis's films throughout, collectively widen the understanding of Siopis's oeuvre. Opening new vocabularies of thought for engaging with her films, this volume outlines how her work remakes the possibilities of film as a mode of experimentation and intervention. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors.
