Made during the covid lockdowns, No News From Home is an experimental short filmed on a Fisher-Price Pixelvision camera. Its lo-fi, pixelated black and white images evoke both the autobiographical intimacy of women’s experimental filmmaking and the cold distance of surveillance footage.

A woman cleans and disinfects her domestic space again and again. Interrupted by cuts to black, the ritual resumes as though nothing has changed. As public messages of safety and compliance seep into the private sphere, her gestures become compulsive, emptied out, and increasingly desperate. No News From Home traces the psychic toll of isolation, fear, and obedience when the home becomes both a refuge and a site of surveillance.
