Curve the Night Sky and The Summer Triangle: Shot in my backyard and neighborhood during the Covid era, I was transfixed by the movement of the earth, the dance of the fireflies and the ever changing dynamic of the night sky. Peggy Ahwesh
Dark Enough: Working from Lisa Gill’s collection of poems “Dark Enough” (2009 ), I made graphite rubbings of selected phrases from the text, filmed them, and basically built a virtual proscenium stage for her poetry to play itself upon. Jeanne Liotta
Instructions on How To Make A Film: Shot at the Film Farm in Mt. Forest, this comedy is a quest about performance, educational voiceover, analogue filmmaking, ASCII, language, ethics of ethnography and narrative storytelling under a metaphor of instructions to farm land. Nazi Dincel
The Llama Man: The story of Martin Muñoz and the adventure of creating an
International English Library. Otto Ohle
Negative Capability: An hommage to John Keats, Vincent Grenier, George Méliés and the Moon. Keith Sanborn
