Overview

"Vāde. subverts common assumptions of abuse often found in social and media representations of families in film, providing a unique filmic viewing and emotional journey through sound and cinematic visual implications. Adapted from the short story Oveja Negra, by Jesus Hernandez, and primary source interviews conducted (with him) by Susan Shamime Shaw), Vāde. explores themes and ideas of horror, implied violence representation techniques and ethically adapting a primary source. Vāde. ethically adapts and uniquely explores an abusive family dynamic using art horror techniques of implied violence, soundscape design and character perspectives that subvert stereotypical societal assumptions of what and how abuse and victims present in film and TV.." -- Abstract
