11 films in package
Far Rockaway
The exploration of home movies to reinterpret mother-daughter relationships.
SHASHIN NO MA
In Japanese, 間(MA) is best described as a consciousness of interval/space, not in the sense of an enclosed three-dimensional entity, but rather the awareness of form and non-form deriving from an intensification of senses.
CYRK.2014-2021
A short film about a circus.
Lost Horse Valley
An in-camera document of a space with a spirit. Shot on Super8mm. Sound by RECODER.
16mm (Untitled)
16mm film stock painted and bleached in the desert at the Wurlitzer Foundation, Taos, New Mexico.
Father Knows Father Best
Utilizing damaged film loops and photograms, "Father Knows Father Best" plays off of an old found-footage print of the American situational comedy to highlight a dysfunctional family paradigm.
purgatory is the side of the road
Filmed on 16mm using in-camera editing techniques, "purgatory is the side of the road" is an imagining of the liminal space between being and non-being.
The long wail of a passing train
An experimental animated film built around a single sound recording that evokes travel, the need to communicate, solitude, fragility, the desire for freedom, the arrival of fall, and our ephemeral existence.
Que Pasado
An experimental take on the True Crime genre.
Kitikaka
A portrait of an eccentric artist based in Kitikaka, Italy.
Traces
Retracing the space between human movements and climaxes through electric bills and coastal walks.

A sidelong glance, a repeated image, a brief fragment, an obscure reference, a finger in the frame. Filmmakers use these and other gestural strategies in their haunting films.
