North Carolina (Wisconsin Premiere)
Informed by Freud’s concept of screen memory—the notion that an ordinary childhood memory can mask a more complex experience—this short film combines hand-drawn animation with VHS home video. Using materials associated with childhood play, including colored pencil, crayon, marker, stickers, and glitter, the film intervenes directly in archived domestic footage. These layered gestures surround a young child with protective figures and imagined abilities, transforming home movies into a hybrid site where memory is reworked and the past is engaged through practices of care and repair.

Maggie Murphy creates mixed-media sculptures, videos, and installations that bend and loop time, reanimating glitchy toys, defunct electronics, and reconstructed childhood interiors as portals for memory and dream. Her current work layers digitized home video, hand-drawn apparitions, vintage textiles, and sentimental decorative materials to produce shifting realities that hover between the familiar and the uncanny. She is a librarian and an MFA candidate at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
