"Soft Rio" plays between erotic and erratic productions of layered movement and sound. Inspired by Audre Lorde's 1978 essay "Uses of the Erotic", the film was shot on the stage of the Rio Cinema in London (once a striptease stage) featuring dancer Astrid Sweeney and sound by @xcrswx.
Created during Zara’s residency at Submit to Love studios, the film stars our member and artist Errol Drysdale. "Errol has a great screen presence, like his work, full of joy and humour, and he loves performing for the camera... I get the impression he wants to captivate people with a sense of wonder and play.” - Zara Joan Miller
