Arabella Turner (UK/NL) is a filmmaker, audio-visual artist and writer whose practice employs video, sound, and text to explore narrative potentials of the beyond human. Her work challenges the grand narrative approach of history and contemporary visions of the future by combining perspectives of the human and non-human such as landscapes, the animal world and technologies. In doing so she seeks to reveal overlooked layers of history, meaning and cultural resonance. Through visual notations and painterly imagery, she crafts audio-visual works that intertwine visual, auditory, and textual elements, portraying non-human being as active agents shaping both external narratives and our internal experiences. Rooted in ecological consciousness, her work invites viewers to reimagine their relationship with the past, speculative futures, and the evolving present around them.

Basements and attics are places where we hide precious things, old memories, or forgotten objects, but they are also spaces for experimentation and trial. In its first presentation outside the TOT building, FilmDak has descended from the attic to the basement to present FilmDakLeaks, a site-specific work that serves as a collective statement.

Flying Ideas
Flying Ideas is a collective space for works-in-progress. We recognize that the processes of development in between finished works are where we spend most of our time. Yet, this time is often hidden, or if anything is whispered about; it is rarely brought to the forefront, instead attention is focused on the 'final' outcome.
As Cliffs Roar, Caves Whisper
In 1783 two riding officers survey a horizon from a clifftop in southern England. On the beach below, in 2043, a geologist investigates the caves and surrounding geological forms for useful minerals.
As Cliffs Roar, Caves Whisper weaves geological, technological, animal and human gazes to traverse between two timelines, creating a composite reflective of the geologically rich landscape in which both narratives take place. Accompanying the film are two sets of drawings that expand upon the after
