The Kittens’ Tea Party

Canadá 2022 | MilleFeuille | 11 min

Cineteca PUCV

In a quiet residential neighbourhood, the tension between domestic, wild and work animals is caught on home security camera, recorded through windows and souvenired in old postcards. A found-footage piece made as a reaction to the internet's obsession with pets, The Kittens' Tea Party allegorizes speciesism. [ & alludes to home invasion fear, nature’s revenge, settler colonialism ]

 

MilleFeuille

 

MilleFeuille confections pre-existing, found footage into metaphors about ambient cruelty and decadent melancholia. Clips of random daily life are recast as scenes imbued with mythic allusions, and familiar locations are transformed into paradoxical spaces. The intention is not to subsume the original footage and its first context into a singular narrative or message, but rather to inhabit the slippery terrain of found-footage multivalence.
