These contemporary experimental, documentary, and animated films include a journey to the beyond and back again, somebody that nobody knew, a water pipeline exploited by a major silver mine, experimental surgery and lonely MRI machines, a reflection on a phrase, dry-transfer lettering and patterns, a young television video editor, and the relationship between amputees and their limbs.

Through interweaving dance and dialogue, Material Bodies is a sensual and cinematic look at the relationship between amputees and their limbs. This visceral and colorful short film explores how a prosthetic leg can be more like a piece of jewelry, a dance companion, or a part of you.
