Fat Film

A memory ritual performed in an enclosed space over twenty-four hours. Featuring dance, costume, lard, and a single performer. The film closes with my brother, just turned eight, holding a swimming diploma – only the light makes the diploma perfectly white as if the lessons of his past need to be erased in order that another life could enter. Another history remembered.
