Hemel Review
SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL
: It is late at night. A father awakes at the sound of his daughter’s restless sleep. Realising the trouble, he carries her to the bathroom, puts her on the toilet and waits patiently as she pees, still only half awake. It’s a sweet scene, one not unfamiliar for most parents or kids. But in Sacha Polak’s startling, moving and strange drama, this episode is freighted with a psychological dimension that confronts and confounds one’s casual expectation of what is 'sound’ and 'normal’ in a parent/child relationship. This is because this tender familial moment exists not between adult and child, but between two grown ups.[Hemel] provides no easy answers, avoids elegant and precise motivations and makes little concession to well-worn conventions of narrative and style.
The father is Gijs (Hans Dagelet), a still good-looking and virile late 50s middle class man, a widower who works in high-end auctions and is in the habit of dating attractive younger women. The daughter is Hemel (Hannah Hoekstra) – which means Heaven in Dutch – who is 23 and who, it appears, experiments somewhat recklessly with sex in relationships that have no sense of emotional intimacy. Her emotional life, in all its unconventional contours and trouble spots, seems to exist within the boundaries of her friendship with her dad.
Indeed, in most instances here, Hemel resists bonding with her sexual consorts. She taunts them, belittles them, finding their erotic fixations tiresome or invasive. In the film’s stunning opening sequence, a very graphic and explicit lovemaking and post-coital episode, Hemel allows her lover to shave off her pubic hair, only to complain that such a concession succeeds in making her nakedness seem 'childish’. (This turns out to be ironic, since throughout Hemel affects an infantile aspect in her interactions with just about everyone.)

A Future of History according to Fiona Tan
The question of the archive is not […] a question of the past. This is not the question of a concept dealing with the past which might already be at our disposal or not at our disposal, an archivable concept of the archive. It is a question of the future, the question of the future itself, the question of a response, of a promise and of a responsibility for tomorrow.
Jacques Derrida, Archive Fever- Remember?
- No, I don't remember, remember?
Fiona Tan, History's Future
Reconstructing history from images and as an image for use in the present – for individual and communal life – is a task that I find in the works of the Dutch artist, documentary filmmaker, and director, Fiona Tan. The artist poses questions about where fiction lurks in facts, how one achieves self-awareness by thinking with and acting on images, how images express and modify ourselves, where we get our self-awareness from, and the certainty of being who we are – the ones who both have and make history. What is history as a common project, a project that I co-create as an agent, and that creates me as a subject? In this article, I will make an attempt to reconstruct the future of a certain (hi)story as imagined by Tan in History's Future (2016), her first feature film. I will analyze it in relation to May You Live in Interesting Times, a television documentary from 20 years earlier, in which the artist, starting from the history of her own family, takes her first steps across the minefield of memory and identity.
