The Universe According to Dan Buckley
Dan Buckley parts the veil on the origins and future of the universe. He investigates the disorder and delight that proliferates in between; the worlds and ideas that rub up against each other and, at times, collide. A reflection on assigning meaning and shedding preconceptions while in free fall.
Closed captions available
The Fourfold
Based on the ancient animistic beliefs and shamanic rituals in Mongolia and Siberia, an exploration of the indigenous worldview and wisdom. Against the backdrop of the modern existential crisis and the human-induced rapid environmental change, there is a necessity to reclaim the ideas of animism for planetary health and non-human materialities.
Spirit Never Dies, Only Transitions
An experimental documentary focusing on Black existence moving through time and space.
Closed captions available
I've Been Afraid

Letter From Your Far-Off Country
Shot with 16mm film stock that expired in 2002—the same year as the state-sponsored anti-Muslim genocide in Gujarat—and filmed amid the anti-CAA protests in Delhi, the filmmaker traces lines and lineages of ancestral memory, poetry, history, songs, and ruins from his birth in 1989.
New Mexico Deathwish Diatribe
Three narrators converge in the deserts of New Mexico, each with a separate story to tell. One narrator is J. Robert Oppenheimer, another is a visitor from outer space, and the other is me. Our stories converge across the span of time and space into a single stream of consciousness.
Closed captions available
Carnelian
A fateful road trip dissolves into a meditation on grief, time and motion.
