The Institute is very happy to announce that Changes in Light, has won the award for best short documentary at the Berlin Kiez Film Festival.
Created by dance artist and scholar Anna Macdonald, Practitioner in Residence at IALS in 2024, in collaboration with IALS Librarian Marilyn Clarke, library staff, and videographer Marisa Zanotti, Changes in Light explores the impact of the affective qualities of libraries on those who use them as a way of revealing the colonial complexities of law itself. The film explores staff’s embodied responses to colonial legacies alongside an exploration of movement and light within the building, offering a nuanced perspective on the complexity of structural change within institutions.
The film will be shown in a gallery in Berlin next February.
