Laura Ohio
Like a Tongue Knows a Mouth

From April 23 to June 13, 2026

In the midst of grappling with her father’s death, a freeway fire causes a city-wide traffic jam, and Ohio is led to follow an elderly woman through downtown Los Angeles in the rain. Composed mainly of cellphone footage shot at indirect angles or remediated by mirrors and lenses, Laura Ohio’s short film Like a Tongue Knows a Mouth is a fractured narrative regarding grief’s coping and the loom of absence.
