2019

~ Here; come, restore, replenish, relax. Crafting a better world is not an easy adventure. Rest with me. ~ An experimental documentary exploring the meanings of rest: political, spiritual, tied to labour, associated with guilt. The film is Chapter R of April Lin’s long-term project, "An A-Z of Imagining A Better World", and serves as a reminder of rest as a structurally-negated necessity, a muscle worth training, and an essential strategy in the process toward liberation for all.
