student films

Aderet is a Film/Media and Religion student at Mount Holyoke College. They study and create works of experimental documentary and video art, and are especially interested in exploiting dynamics between the archive and the present to tell layered stories about everyday identity and experience.

"ONLY GOYIM HAVE GUNS"

A self-conscious experiment from within American Jewish self-defense narratives and practices, mobilized by the archive. The film explores victimhood as identity posture and struggles with the moral grayness of survival.

"UNTITLED REPRODUCTIVE FUTURISM"

IN DEVELOPMENT

An experimental exploration of the symbolic vs the real child as they have been intergenerationally imagined and mobilized toward Jewish continuity, staging an observational intervention into “Jewish reproductive futurism”.

"ANGELS ARE PRETTY DEAD"

A quick performance of rational, political and religious overwhelm, building a frenetic panic via maximalist chaos.
4k video. color. 0:36.

"YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME"

Taking a funky feminist approach to the angry--but high energy and undeniably fun--Bon Jovi classic, the archive provides new ways of feeling like a little kid, a fearless teenager, a hot housewife, and more. We move easily and constantly between different power-subject positions, leaving us in a messy free-fall of Foucauldian resistance.
archival--color & b/w film. 2:55.

"JEWS AGAINST METROPOLIS"

Splicing archival footage from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum with footage from Fritz Lang and Thea von Harbou's "Metropolis", the lines between fiction and fact, or propaganda and history, become blurred.
