Documentary Short

Filmmaker Akinola Davies was invited by Alvaro Barrington to make a visual reflection of Carnival, wanting to "capture Carnival, from inception to end". The film is unsettling as much as it illuminates; it articulates a spirit that is saturated, effervescent, and dense: a sensory overload.

Commissioned by Alvaro Barrington as part of his exhibition 'Grandma's Land' at Sadie Coles Gallery.
