Dérive (2021)

In this slice of life docu-fiction created during COVID-19 isolation, transmasculine sex worker and poet Jacky navigates their online job in the midst of mysterious recurring dreams. The film is a reenactment, but it is also a document of a very specific moment in time. Much like a poem, it drifts between images and modes of being, ambiguously carrying the viewer in and out of reality.
