What Is The Structure Within?

This film was conceived as an invitation to action: to sit at the table, engage in conversations no matter how difficult, and reimagine the relationships and societies we want to create.

What happens when oppressions such as racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, and others infiltrate our being, shaping the way we feel, think, and relate to one another?

The Structure Within explores the powerful interaction between systemic inequalities and our personal stories, revealing how interpersonal connections are often marked by mistreatment, shame, violence, and division.

This animated short aims to shed light on how internalised oppressions generate a "constant internal noise" that limits our capacity to connect, collaborate, and dream—both with ourselves and with others.

At the same time, it offers hope: the possibility of creating spaces for dialogue, collective healing, and transformation, laying the foundation for imagining and building radical new ways of relating. This hope hinges on our ability to identify and acknowledge this "internal noise" and to be honest about our own oppression and complicity in the oppression of others.

Can we quiet the internal noise to truly listen to one another and collaborate?
