Synopsis:
The Immovable Structure” is an experimental Super 8 short film that confronts the paradox of resistance within an unyielding system. Shot during the 2022 anti-TERF protest in New York, its grainy, flickering images capture a movement in motion—bodies, voices, defiance—pressing against an invisible yet impenetrable force. Over these images, a voice reads Andrea Dworkin’s The Great Punctuation Typography Struggle, a meditation on language as both a battleground and a cage; a text that grapples with the power of language—who controls it, who bends beneath it, who weaponizes its silence. The chants—“TERFs go home!” “Trans women are women!”—pulse through the soundscape, insistent and urgent, yet caught in the gravity of a structure that resists change. The film does not simply document the sturggle for liberation but interrogates the ways in which even those in struggle, sometimes, may unknowingly sustain the very forces they seek to dismantle. The film lingers in this tension, a document of struggle, a study of permanence, an echo of voices that refuse to fade—no matter how immovable the structure may seem.
