this is not an  anchor, this boat is not an anchor is written about in a recent article from Cineworks in participation with the Signal + Noise Festival:

Milhorat does not mean to present us with mere information; she is scheming to instigate the workings of the mind back on itself, a consciousness observing its own meditation (Cheyanne Turions).

this is not an anchor, this boat is not an anchor will be presented at this year’s Signal and Noise Festival in Vancouver, BC.

Showcasing a spectrum of audio & video works, online games, live action performances and immersive installations, Signal & Noise is Vancouver’s premier alternative media event.

The Enduring
Friday April 24
8:30-10:00pm
Vivo Media Arts Center

The relentless, disinterested march of time colours all events in fading shades of grey. What endures of our experiences are these holes, present by way of their absence, framed on either side by emotional anticipations and repercussions. Highlighting a tendency to privilege mental realities over physical ones, the films of The Enduring reveal a fragility in the distance that separates memory from its referent.
