This program of recent experimental films includes trains, beaches and occupied spaces; a meat media network; a magic 8-ball; rum-fueled living room sermons; the year that changed a city forever; the reunion and repair between Mike Africa Jr and his mother; quiet corners of creation; and a witchy incantation of hope and recovery.

BUTTERFLY BIRTH BED is a metaphysical art film about hope. Inspired by the butterfly effect—the philosophical idea that small change can manifest big change, the film shows the ethereal emergence of live butterflies over an image of a sleeping storm. Via symbolism and an elemental soundscape, the film is a surreal incantation for hope.
