Thank you @fashionfilmfestivalchicago for recognising this film and honouring with the “Essence of Fashion”. award. It’s a lovely reminder that filmmaking is not about the size of the budget or the camera 🫶 It feels emotional after such a rollercoaster of years in creative and personal life - the two are inseparable. I’ve always loved the quality and spirit of CFFF, and I’ve been screening with them since 2012, almost every year. So it truly is an honour to receive this ✨ You can watch the film here: https://vimeo.com/1093063884 #fashionfilmfestivalchicago #awardwinner #bestfashionfilm #fashionaward #filmmaker #fashionfilm #indyfilmmaker #transartist #womeninfilm #femaledirector

When I shot and directed “Immunity” it was one of my favourite shoot. I spent only 6 days in LA and also shot a music video and attended to red carpet in that short time. However I had no idea how many hidden symbolic elements will be in this film. I always loved the imagery, but I didn’t know I will transition in a few years. This image which I always loved is full of with emotions and desperate fragmented almost suicidal symbolism. I was so down those years its almost hard to even watch the film. I still love it and its still valid, but new layers emerge now (like with Cry of the City) and it has so different meaning then I thought it had. I wonder if the whole Americana, pulp fiction / b-movies vibes were just a cover up of deeper meanings and issues. #filmmakernotes #exploitation #bmovie, #dyanarisko #transfilmmaker #horrorfilm #fashionfilm, #indiefilm #awardwinner #queer #personalwork

Film still from previous work Immunity. Looking this with fresh eyes makes me realise how much suffering hide in these imagery. A time before coming out as trans. You can feel the almost violent clashes of symbolism. Cold man made machine collides with the sensitive female beuty on this blurry collage. #filmmaker #brokenbeauty #bmovie #transformation #painterly #poeticfilm #fashionfilm #indiefilm #directorenote #essay #transvoices #transfilmmaker

I used to film my fears and desires — now I’m living my truth 💐 Back then, a golden-hour city seen through the lens of addiction, repetition and loneliness. A moment that surfaced from the making of Cry of the City (2017). #archive #cryofthecity #filmmemory #queerart #transartist #cinematicportrait #goldenhour #bowieinspired #artfilm #poeticcinema #londonstreets #indiefilm #queerartist #transfilmmaker
