Directing
Biography
Through DIY practices such as hand-processing, optical printing, material manipulations, and sleight-of-hand techniques, Laitala references the history of early cinema and light shows while pushing the medium into new, critical, and highly sensory territory. Her work investigates shifting relationships with the natural world and the artifacts we introduce into it, and this program puts the existential crises of our present into conversation with the unlikely magic of motion picture technology.
