Expanding Universes
A program by filmmakers from The Hague. Marianna Maruyama, Eliane Bots and Flora Reznik present a constellation of films and text based works, offering a glimpse into their process and the ever expanding universes of stories and images they inhabit.
(Please bring your phone and headphones for a surprise activity!)
—For artist & writer Marianna Maruyama, the figures of Diana, the Roman Goddess of the Hunt, Momoe, the 1980's Japanese pop idol, and Kathrine Switzer, the first female Boston Marathon runner, all extend a line of thinking around one essential desire. Two video pieces (Permissions, 2019, and We Only Ask For Your Everything, 2020) lead into Maruyama's newest work Diana (2026).
Eliane Bots contributes to the evening with a film and a listening experience that explore how stories travel across generations. In Cloud Forest (2019), five young women revisit memories of the war in the former Yugoslavia through stories, fragments, silences, and imagination. Listening becomes a way of approaching histories they did not experience themselves, yet continue to shape their lives. Following the screening, we invite you to listen together to an audio narrative, extending the film’s reflection on listening as a space where memories, voices, and family histories can be encountered and shared.
Flora Reznik moves through archives, Amazonian jungles, and imagined memories in Atlas María (2026), an essay short film and Stranger Fantasy (2026), a meditation about exploration, inheritance, and fantasy — both as a desire to discover the unknown and as a genre that permeates the travelogues once taken as official history.
