- The Division of Love at Baltic Analog Lab in Riga, Latvia: Within capitalism the division of labour is a form of economic control that transcends all aspects of society. The films presented in “The division of Love” unearth the artificial relationship between social and economic powers. Proposing a conversation between the work of Amber Bemak and D’Angelo Madsen Minax, the program focuses on the creative process that emerges from intimate collaboration, considering Love as a sentiment that is simultaneously fulfilling, painful, and hopeless. In their films mythology, failure, performance, fantasy, queer and trans embodiment, show Love as a form of resistance that disrupts the normative order of things: Airplane Dance (2013) Amber Bemak; Because of Us (2017) D’Angelo Madsen Minax; Borderhole (2016) Amber Bemak & Nadia Granados; The Eddies (2018) D’Angelo Madsen Minax; Separation of the Earth (by Fire) (2014) D’Angelo Madsen Minax; The Source is a Hole (2017) D’Angelo Madsen Minax; and Goodbye Fantasy (2018) Amber Bemak & Nadia Granados.
