The Clearing
Sabine Groenewegen
THE CLEARING points a feminist and speculative lens on unearthed exploitation in Dutch Sumatra.
Found and new footage synthesize with sonic, narrative, and visual fabulation in this essay of recognition and resistance. The film also points a feminist lens at the exploitation of women during the “rubber boom” in Dutch colonial Sumatra, an open secret suppressed until today.
