Artist Alison Nguyen was selected as one of the Filmmaker’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film 2018. Nguyen’s works including “Andra8: my favorite software is being here” (2021) is featured.
“My work tends to start with banal obsessions,” says Brooklyn-based filmmaker and artist Alison Nguyen. “I’ll get fixated on an idea, like, ‘Why are ice cream commercials shot like action sequences?’ Or, ‘Why are we suddenly seeing lens flare in food commercials?’ Then, I’ll go under the hood of the cinematic machine and look at what these formal tropes say about the larger semiotic production of meaning.”
