Dissortion

Kallio Jade

Dissortion is a poetic depiction of longing on the obscure border of real and delusion. Two bodies detached from a Baroque painting seek touch - they cling to each other, wandering timeless rooms that localize in mind rather than matter. Desire and violence, genders and epochs mix into a fragmented love story.

Jade Kallio

Born: 1978

Jade Kallio is a Helsinki-based filmmaker and artist whose practice reflects on gender, corporeality, and the spaces and social structures in which meanings are produced, with a focus on trans identities and marginalized experiences. Kallio explores how social norms shape possibilities for existence and visibility. Current projects blend documentary, speculative fiction, and magical realism while considering production structures, working conditions, and questions of narrative authority. Kallio has exhibited work at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, CCA Northern Ireland, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the European Media Art Festival (EMAF Award 2019), among others.
