Who is paying attention to the news these days? Or maybe I should ask-- who needs a tiny break from the reality that is being reported in the headlines? The short films in this series creatively tweak the bounds of human possibility and incorporate elements of magic to bridge the two worlds of fantasy and reality. It is in this bridging where we see the possibilities of imagination to create a wildly better future. The ideas on display in the Magical Realism series of shorts increase our capacity to build and hold a future that closely aligns with our interests and values. From the seat of the movie theater or in your comfiest chair at home, watch the films in this series to travel to unknown worlds familiar enough to home yet free from the bounds of what may be holding us back.
A feeling of emptiness, a restless mind and two pieces of land. What is born from the void that unites them? “Wildflower” is a poetic essay about the undesirable, the lack of control and duality that seeks to explore the different possibilities of interaction between human beings and the uncontrollable side of nature.
