Jazmin Jones
This film will be followed by a 20 minute Q&A

The 1980s software 'Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing' taught millions globally, but its Haitian-born cover model, Renée L’Esperance, vanished decades ago. DIY detectives Jazmin (Director) and Olivia (Associate Producer) set out on a search for L'Esperance and investigate the creation of her online persona. This spellbinding cyberspace adventure explores ethical representations of queerness and racialisation, AI and glitch art. Jones' directorial debut is a scrapbook of footage, interviews and desktop cinema, trying to answer one of the most important questions of our time: what is selfdom in a tech-driven world?
