Invention
Courtney Stephens — USA — 2024 — 72'
Invention fictionalizes the aftermath of Callie Hernandez’s father’s death, using a real archive of TV appearances he made as an alternative health doctor. Film explores conspiracy as a form – as a container for grief, and examines fantasy as a response to loss, inadvertently touching on how the American public processes this time of national decline, and the evolution of fringe medical culture.
