Negative Worlds Animation Writing About Contact
About Edmund Ogawa Hardy
I am a filmmaker and writer based in London.
My films are experimental narratives which combine voiceover and collage to tell fragmented stories of collective life, utopian visions and friendship. I also create music and animations as part of my films and beyond them.
My feature film Negative Worlds (2024) brings these themes into play with time-travel; a communication network of the future called the Data Sea; raves in and around London; and what happens to diverse hopes for better times. It was premiered at Flatline City Festival, Tokyo, in November 2024, and received an honourable mention at New York Mixfest 2024.
My poetry has been collected in two chapbooks: Desire for Tears (Earthbound Press, 2023) and Every Cruel Thing (Monitor Books, 2021). Writings have been published in Tribune, Granta, Tank Magazine, Radical Philosophy and Jacobin magazine, among other places.
