Made with archival footage, field recordings and electronic sounds, BLACK LANTERN is composed by a self-generating sequence of video edits interrogates colonial propaganda by looking again, and again. Disquieting contrasts and tiny black comedies emerge, and the viewer feels the instinct to construct a narrative from these fragments.
