    Filmmaker Bill Morrison has forged an unmistakeable style working with found celluloid to emphasize the effects of time and neglect on its delicate layers. Linking the physical materiality of film to its affective capacity for visceral, emotional command, his prolific body of work is manna for those who dream of nitrate sheep.

  • Yoni Goldstein & Meredith Zielke (2020, 88 min)

    A hive-like consciousness scans a space-age metropolis: an unstable landscape of mystical architecture and oneiric technology emerges. From this cosmic dream, the specter of totalitarianism takes form. A MACHINE TO LIVE IN is a sci-fi documentary about the utopian imaginary, set in the Brazilian hinterlands.

  • Angelo Minax Madsen and Amber Bemak (2021, 11 min)

    A queer woman is pregnant. The self-made family unit of two dykes and a trans man imagine a kind of erotic magic that will allow for procreation based solely on desire. Together they enact a public sex ritual to symbolize their hopefulness for multiplicity, acknowledging their cyborg bodies as technological interventions. When the queer woman miscarries her child, the three begin to build their own mythic understanding of where bodies live when they are not inside us. They create a story to trace movement of the non-body, from a hole, to a river, to a room. Images of an imaginary white room, an ikea-esque torture chamber of stillness, haunt them. As a parallel emerges between the pregnant body and the trans body, the techno-sex act becomes the key and a pyramid becomes the portal to access this other world of non-bodied existence.

  • The Eyes of Summer (2020, 15 min); Imitation of Life (2020, 1 min)

    These transgressive ethnographies by filmmaker Rajee Samarasinghe extend a tradition established by filmmakers like Trinh T. Minh-ha and run parallel to other reconstituted academic approaches- eg. Sensory Ethnography- with a patient style as much oriented toward self-examination as novel framings of the "other." Gimhanaye Netra / The Eyes of Summer (2020, 15 minutes) In a small and remote hamlet, a young girl develops a curious friendship with a spirit who lives in an abandoned house. Jeevithaye Mayawa / Imitation of Life (2020, 1 minute) Tracing the colonial gaze in both the ethnographic image and forms of dominant media, this short piece describes an impressionistic encounter with a woman seen from a great distance, who confronts a curious telescopic lens.

  • Alison Nguyen (2020, 19 min)

    Video centering on a computer-generated woman raised by the Internet in isolation in a virtual void. From the apartment where she has been placed Andra8 works as a digital laborer, surviving off the data from her various freemium jobs as a virtual assistant, a data janitor, a life coach, and a content creator. The domestic space from which she is constantly surveilled looks like the inoffensive love child of the results of a ‘Mid-century modern’ Pinterest search, a mental health hospital, and a perpetually sunny L.A. Airbnb. In other words: A kind of antiseptic neoliberal purgatory. As she multitasks throughout the day, Andra8 is monitored, finding herself overwhelmed by a web of global client demands. Something begins to trouble Andra8: her life depends on her compulsory consumption and output of human data – or so she’s been told. Andra8 explores the implications of such an existence, and what arises when one attempts to subvert them.

  • M.M. Serra (2021, 16 min)

    A portrait of two artists, dancers, musicians, community gardeners, collaborators and lovers, who have lived together on the Lower East Side of New York City for more than 40 years. This film focuses on their latest production “Generator: Pestilence Part 1” as it went into its inaugural production at the avant-garde venue, La MaMa in February, 2020.

  • Kenneth Lartey (2020, 5 min)

    A descent into the partyscape of young southern madness, as narrated by Atlanta rapper Future via Chopped and Screwed remix.

  • Lydia Moyer (2020, 5 min)

    Anarchic, ecstatic, intoxicating— this hyper-saturated statement on a lifestyle liberated from the panic of pandemic pools its joyful bleeding edges into a warm bath of sound and color.

  • Mitch McGlocklin (2020, 7 min)

    A life insurance company uses an AI algorithm to determine the risk of a new applicant. The subsequent denial sparks a period of introspection for the individual in question.

  • Michèle Saint-Michel (2020, 5 min)

    A poetic exploration of an exaggerated startle response, emotional arousal and reactivity; one symptom group of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

  • Maile Costa Colbert (2020, 9 min)

    A mother's lunar reverie channels anxieties of life on Earth into a grainy, cosmic awareness of organic perseverance amongst the stars.

  • Raed Rafei (2021, 8 min)

    A dialectical visual journey from Manhattan to Tripoli highlights the social conditions that define queerness.

  • Devon Narine-Singh (2021, 24 min)

    A film that began about what it means to be intimate during a pandemic became a film about both the toxic habits and fears we carry in building connection. Weaving together media from ACT UP with present day interviews with activists Jim Hubbard and Alexandra Juhasz alongside elements of narrative and performance featuring the actress Lisa Naso and the poetry of Akilah Oliver. As we close, we end towards healing and healthier ways of expression.

  • Anthony Banua-Simon (2020, 89 min)

    The Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi is seen as a paradise of leisure and pristine natural beauty, but these escapist fantasies obscure the colonial displacement, hyper-exploitation of workers, and destructive environmental extraction that have actually shaped life on the island for the last 250 years. ​Cane Fire​​ critically examines the island’s history—and the various strategies by which Hollywood has represented it—through four generations of director Anthony Banua-Simon’s family, who first immigrated to Kauaʻi from the Phillipines to work on the sugar plantations. Assembled from a diverse array of sources—from Banua-Simon’s observational footage, to amateur YouTube travelogues, to epic Hollywood dance sequences—​Cane Fire offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of the economic and cultural forces that have cast indigenous and working-class residents as “extras” in their own story.

  • Christopher Makoto Yogi (2016, 15 min)

    100 years of Hawai‘i in film and TV.

  • Lívia Sá (2020, 5 min)

  • Che Applewhaite (2020, 16 min)

    Using found footage with selected images and text from The Marshall Collection at Harvard University’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, A New England Document reconstructs the impulse of two ethnographers’ photographic encounters in the Kalahari Desert, Namibia, from the reparative perspective of its formerly silenced stories.

  • Meena Nanji (1996, 5 min)

    Using footage from mainstream British and Hollywood films, and excerpts from a poem by Shani Mootoo, this video explores the impact of cultural imperialism and the erasure of language—residual tools of oppression on members of post-colonial societies. Courtesy of Video Data Bank.

  • Suneil Sanzgiri (2020, 18 min)

    Drawing upon a rich repository of images – from digital renderings of Kashmir’s mountains to the textured materiality of 16mm hand-processing and direct animations techniques – 'Letter From Your Far-off Country' maps a hidden vein of shared political commitment and diasporic creative expression, linking a poem by the Kashmiri American writer Agha Shahid Ali with interviews with the filmmaker’s father and a letter addressed to Communist Party leader Prabhakar Sanzgiri, who is also the filmmaker’s distant relative.

  • Fox Maxy (2020, 30 min)

    A bold aesthetic fueled by music, emotional cutting, and a panoply of visual references poses the question: What does it mean to come from somewhere?

  • Yousra Benziane (2019, 15 min)

    When the fireworks inflame the memory of a war survival.

  • Christopher Harris (2004, 14 min)

    A new 2K digitization of Harris's archival masterpiece. The film uses clips from Blaxploitation movies, newspapers, and Hollywood films to explore the violence embodied by the white gaze and that projected onto the black. Thanks to Canyon Cinema, Colorlab, Mark Toscano, and the Academy Film Archive.

  • Nate Dorr (2021, 9 min)

    Despite New York’s status as a sanctuary city, ICE facilities ring and infiltrate the boroughs while its agents continue to make hundreds of arrests every month. Sanctuary highlights this troubling disjunction, and the millions of people threatened by it, through a pointed act of looking at the architectural apparatuses of detention and deportation. As long as ICE persists, there is no true sanctuary.

  • Erin Wilkerson (2020, 14 min)

    A quarantine meditation that questions the nostalgia for a land of settlement, where families are divided by policed borders, as told through family roots in Los Angeles.

  • Ronald Baez (2021, 6 min)

    A middle-aged mother of two reflects on her emotional decision to immigrate to the United States some 30 years earlier, in this reflective documentary short that borrows its title from a uniquely powerful poem by the legendary exiled Cuban writer Lourdes Casal.

  • Sarah Friedland (2020, 17 min)

    Drills is a film about the choreography of preparing for the future. A hybrid documentary and experimental dance film reimagining the form of the Cold War-era, US government-produced social guidance film, Drills asks what futures we are preparing for through the exercises embodying present anxieties. Weaving in between multiple forms of choreography and documentation, Drills restages lockdown and active shooter drills, frames corporate and tech start-up office meditation, and reperforms Boy Scout drills from the 1917 Boy Scout manual.

  • Jongkwan Paik (2020, 17 min)

    On the evening of November 16, 2019, they were accidentally trapped in a black wave of demonstrators around central Paris. In Korea in 2020, they rewrote the memory and rearranged the movements and sounds to organize other forms of protest. People begin to gather, and smoke rises.

  • Emily Packer (2020, 7 min)

    On August 18, 1971, First Lady Pat Nixon declared a stretch of land along the US-Mexico border a “Friendship Park,” willing two countries toward a common future. As the 50th anniversary of this event approaches, the spirited inauguration hangs above the meeting place like a specter, charged by the border’s harsh realities.

  • Lorenzo Benitez (2018, 6 min)

    Nearly four years after befriending someone on Facebook with the exact same name as him, filmmaker Lorenzo Benitez ventures to South America to meet the friend he had come to know online.

  • Janah Elise Cox (2021, 8 min)

    In 1952, the mayor of San Juan, Felisa Rincón de Gautier, partnered with Eastern Airlines to transport two tons of snow from New Hampshire to Puerto Rico. The snow was a gift, meant to enchant Puerto Ricans with a white, American Christmas. As the spectacle unfolds, an unequal transaction is revealed: planes returning to the U.S. filled with the Puerto Rican cheap labor that would populate el barrio.

  • Sasha Litvintseva & Beny Wagner (2020, 24 min)

    The word ‘monster’ comes from the latin ‘monstrare’, meaning to show, to reveal, to demonstrate. “A Demonstration” picks up on these themes in a poetic exploration of the boundaries of sight and the metamorphosis of form.

  • Tiffany Sia (2020, 28 min)

    Never Rest/Unrest is a hand-held short film by Tiffany Sia about the relentless political actions in Hong Kong, spanning early summer to late 2019. The experimental short is an adaptation of the artist's practice of scaling oral history, of showing political crisis in Hong Kong as ephemeral stories on Instagram for the past year. Never Rest/Unrest takes up the provocation of Julio Garcia Espinosa's "Imperfect Cinema" on the potential for anti-colonial filmmaking, aiming towards an urgent, process-driven cinema while resisting dominant narratives of crisis pushed by news journalism. Instead, crisis poses ambiguous, anachronistic and often banal time. Subtitles are intentionally omitted as a means of interrogating the cultural proximity or distance of the viewer from Hong Kong.

  • Anand Patwardhan & Jim Monro (1981, 40 min)

    On April 6, 1980, the Canadian Farmworkers Union came into existence. This film documents the conditions among Chinese and East Indian immigrant workers in British Columbia that provoked the formation of the union, and the response of growers and labor contractors to the threat of unionization. Made over a period of two years, the film is eloquent testimony to the progress of the workers’ movement from the first stirrings of militancy to the energetic canvassing of union members.

    For four years in the 1860’s, half of the United States was held hostage by an unrecognized white supremacist republic. Shot on 16mm in national military parks, swamps, forests and the suburban sprawl across the former battlefields, the film follows General Grant’s path liberating the southern United States. Part travelogue, part essay film, part landscape documentary, it moves from the Texas-Louisiana border to a prison island off the coast of New England. But instead of relying on actors, vintage photos, and the sounds of bullets and explosions, the battles are illustrated with the paper reenactments of hex & counter wargames and bubblegum cards from the hobbyist gamer subcultures that have sprung up around the Civil War. The sound and music are inspired by 1970’s crime films to celebrate the destruction of the Confederacy with the synth jams they deserve.

    Filmmaker Paige Taul sees people with a wholeness that draws out the nuances of their features, behaviors, and spirit. These four illuminating celluloid portraits cohere complex questions of identity with the deceptive simplicity of a compassionate gaze.

  • Ericka Beckman (2003, 12 min)

    “When I began preparing the film in Budapest in 2000, I found myself surrounded by the remnants of the Soviet’s Modernist Architecture. I was immediately captivated by these buildings – not because they were esthetically appealing – but because they embodied perfectly, not only their purpose, but also the ideology upon which they were built. They were not constructed to last but a few years, but rather to endure through millennia, corresponding to the expected lifespan of the regime. The fact that they still stood – solid, defiant even – while the empire had crumbled into dust, made them all the more appealing to me. I chose an abandoned water purification plant on the outskirts of Budapest as the setting for Switch Center. In conceiving of this film, I was inspired by Leger’s early avant-garde picture, ‘Ballet Mechanic’. In my film, the structure itself comes to life through the manipulations of the employees who work inside it. I wanted to make a tribute to the kind of futuristic pragmatism expressed by these buildings that are now being razed to allow space for shopping malls and corporate offices.” — E.B. 2002

  • Elizabeth M. Webb (2016, 25 min)

    My great grandmother was a black woman known for her exquisite beauty, yet there are no recorded images of her. Her name was Paradise.

    At the age of 18 in Charlottesville, VA, I discovered a family history that had gone unspoken for a generation: my father’s father, whom I never met, was African-American—my father had been passing as white. He had also decided to raise our family as such, giving us no knowledge of our black ancestry. "For Paradise" traces the construction of racial identities within my family where members live on both sides of the “color line.” The story of my great-grandmother Paradise guides me through family histories of migration and racial passing as I navigate spaces where power can be found in absence and loss.

  • Martha Colburn and Pat O’Neill (2021)

    Los Angeles artist and filmmaker Pat O'Neill narrates a journey through his photographs taken over many decades and locations. A travelogue for the 'Stay-at-Home' weary - peering into places no longer functioning and empty signs of civilization, from Pioneer stories, to the streets of Europe, and outside desert bars. Edited by Martha Colburn.

  • Satya Hariharan (2020, 14 min)

    A personal essay that meditates on mantras, intergenerational relationships, and the fragmentation of language and memories.

  • Wen Han Chang (2018, 16 min)

    No one can be exempted from the need of sleep. In sleep, we are restored and refreshed while suspending between bodily functions and consciousness. We do not know what was happening when lying asleep. Further, those almost in trance are cut off from the reality. What is the relationship between the actual world and the realm reigned by Hypnos?

  • Abby Sun and Daniel Garber (2019, 4 min)

    His name is Naudy Exposito, but while working in the overwhelmingly white Wyoming rodeo circuit, everyone calls him Cuba. A kinetic and humorous glimpse of a man just trying to do his job, the film rides along with Cuba, who fits the rodeo cowboy stereotype no better than he fits into his ill-fated Japanese mini-truck. After a sudden injury, Cuba’s dreams collide with the reality that even the most undignified accidents can be quite painful.

    A film about my mother's cancer and what it feels like to be hit by a truck.

  • Sophy Romvari (2020, 17 min)

    A box of stunning family photos awakens grief and lost memories as they are viewed for the first time on camera. Filmmaker Sophy Romvari documents her first-hand experience as an exploration into cinema as therapy in this nonfiction short.

    A film that identifies the patterns that exist in the macro and micro systems around us.

  • Caroline Golum (2020, 8 min)

    Julian of Norwich was 30 years old and living at home when she experienced the sixteen visions that inspired her book, "Revelations of Divine Love." I was 32 and stuck at home when a statewide shut down torpedoed my feature-length live-action adaptation of Julian's story. This actor-less, handmade film was my attempt to combat cabin fever and experiment with practical techniques.

    An experimental music ensemble is recording an album. They want a very specific sound: the sound of thick air. The sound engineer struggles to understand and to find that sound. A tale of sleepless nights and loud music.

  • Brandon Wilson (2020, 96 min)

    Baby spiders take their first wobbly steps. Human hands work in the garden. Waterfalls get tangled up in space and time. Home In The Woods is an immersive portrait of a place viewed from different perspectives and scales. A contemplation of the cycles, patterns and relationships that exist in the forest near the filmmaker's home. Filmed over the course of two years in Marion Country, Oregon.

  • Ufuoma Essi (2021, 6 min)

    Bodies In Dissent by Ufuoma Essi is an exploration of the body as a central site of remembrance and resistance. Exploring ideas around 'bodily insurgency' and using the body as an archive, as a point of return, a position of refusal, a broker between transgenerational life and histories, past, present and future.

  • Gloria Chung (2021, 8 min)

    My projects often come about from traveling, which was not possible in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, I attempted to travel vicariously through the webcams of the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration, capturing screenshots on my phone and editing them with videos I had recorded during the pandemic and on previous trips to Iceland. I found time and landscapes moving strangely, if at all—seeming to mirror our new reality of sudden isolation, tragedy, and the utter unknown.

  • Paweł Wojtasik (2006, 22 min)

    Filmed primarily in Alaska, The Aquarium contrasts the openness of the primeval Arctic landscape with the entrapment of captured sea mammals in aquariums. It speaks of the progressive destruction of these animals’ habitat, seeing beyond the alluring spectacle.

  • dd. chu (2020, 11 min)

    On the corner of Avenue A and East 13th Street in New York City, during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, life is filtered and newly observed through the open steel gratings of a fire escape.

    A surreal sub-zero plunge from the master of speculative ethnography.

  • Lynne Sachs (1986, 4 min)

    Optically printed images of a man and a woman fragmented by a film frame that is divided into four distinct sections. An experiment in form/content relationships that are peculiar to the medium.

  • Jason Evans (2020, 13 min)

    A group of matsutake mushroom hunters search for rare subterranean treasures in the high desert of Oregon’s Cascade mountain range. A short documetary that considers nature, consumption, labor, displacement, and temporary shelter.

  • Emily Apter and Annie Horner (2021, 4 min)

    Found footage educational videos and Super 8 of Vermont forests combine into a landscape film (of sorts), reflecting on the digital and analogue technologies that mediate images of nature.

  • Ryan Clancy (2021, 30 min)

    A 1904 geological survey owed the presence of iron-bearing rocks deep under the Mesabi Range to "a slight wrinkle in the strata." The abandoned open-pit mines that once produced a majority of America's iron-ore now alter the northern Minnesota landscape as vast, water-filled craters. Oral histories, landscapes and observations of daily life are layered to create a portrait of a community existing in this post-extraction economy.

  • Arlin Golden (2020, 7 min)

    When I moved into a new home I found myself spending a lot of time in the back yard. I quickly learned my neighbor enjoyed spending time in his yard too.

  • Sara Leavitt (2019, 3 min)

    Inspired by D.A. Pennebaker's DAYBREAK EXPRESS, the film takes the viewer on a road trip that encompasses quiet, rural back roads and swimming holes to the kaleidoscope center of New York.

  • Lesley Steele and Emily Packer (2019, 14 min)

    A wandering portrait of an oft-neglected shoreline community, By Way of Canarsie imagines possible futures at odds with a peaceful present. Through brief encounters, observational mise-en-scene, and expressive use of analog film, we begin to understand this predominantly black New York City neighborhood’s shared desires for recognition and respect. As some community members advocate for a commuter ferry at the local pier, others reflect on the current use of natural resources, the indigenous history, and the impending environmental concerns that encompass Canarsie’s relationship with the water as it exists today. The competing futures for Canarsie Pier present complications about how and for whom this public space serves.

SECOND STAR TO THE RIGHT AND STRAIGHT ON 'TIL MORNING BY BILL & TURNER ROSS + DADLI BY SHABIER KIRCHNER

SUNDAY, APRIL 18, 2021 @ 8PM EDT

The production of Benh Zeitlin's 2020 film Wendy occasioned two magical, visually spectacular documentaries; a 16mm short by Shabier Kirchner (2nd unit on Wendy), presenting the island of Antigua through its eponymous child subject's eyes, and a feature making-of documentary by Zeitlin pals Bill & Turner Ross. Second Star was deemed too experimental by the studio for its intended use as a DVD extra, and has never screened publicly before now. Together these films paint a vivid, playful portrait of youthful imagination that captures the spirit of the beloved Wendy source material by Robert Louis Stevenson.
