The Genesis Project
The Genesis Project is an intimate, surreal portrait of painter Emma Fineman, capturing the emotional landscape behind her work rather than a conventional studio process. Shot between Porthmeor’s cliffs and studios, the film weaves painting, poetry, and field recordings into a dreamlike meditation on queerness, memory, loss, and the reclamation of the feminine. Blending original text, the words of Audre Lorde, and a layered soundscape by Jan Brzezinski, it becomes a sanctuary—part cinematic poem, part visual prayer.
