Spend your lunch hour with Ohio Humanities Council and the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University’s 2025–2026 film fellow Simone Barros as she presents a short excerpt from her work-in-progress feature experimental film, The Dead Will Show You the Way: A Fugue for Moss and Memory. Detailing her approach to this film, Simone discusses devised directing techniques, utilizing choreopoem structures in voice-over narration and associative editing to explore cinema cognition.
Barros’s talk will take place during Lunch on Fridays from 12:15 to 1:30pm Friday, February 6 in CIA's Peter B. Lewis Theater.
The Dead Will Show You the Way: A Fugue for Moss and Memory, an experimental documentary that connects the science of forest moss with the history of escaped slaves who used moss to navigate the Underground Railroad in Ohio. The film creates parallels between 96 year-old Joan Southgate, an advocate preserving Ohio's role in the abolitionist movement and Dr. Bob Klips, a bryologist cataloguing 420 moss species in Ohio. But inconsistencies arise between memory and historical documentation, perception and scientific reclassifications thus raising questions of how to know oneself when the past isn’t fully on record.
