Synopsis:
If You Stop Hugging Me I’ll  Kill You experiments with context, exhibition, and framing to explore the intersection of tension, intimacy, and violence. Taking a look at the practice of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu both as a highly technical martial art and a series of movements and interactions, the film abstracts the subject to allow the audience space for interpretation. How does context and setting change the way we conduct ourselves, and how are actions interpreted through different framings?
