A Home on Every Floor
Poet Hanna Asefaw grew up in a municipal flat in Oslo with her Eritrean family in the late 90s. Through an electrifying spoken word performance, she visits her childhood universe reimagined in miniature--reflecting on community, diversity, belonging, and the political indifference that broke it all apart.
The Brown Dog
A night watchman clocks into a lonely security booth, composing endless logs to stay awake. As daylight approaches, he is haunted by a mysterious brown dog.
Hindsight
A visual meditation on the memories of two young Ukrainians emerging from the fall of the Iron Curtain. "Hindsight" looks at the fragility of our roots, the impermanence of our cultures, and the transience of our freedom through the lens of a VHS camera in the late 1990s.
Hoteling
In a desperate bid for stability and reunification, 13-year-old Eli must navigate his stay in a hotel by the Department of Family and Children Services while awaiting placement in a foster home and rely on his guardian, Matt, to overcome his trauma and learning disabilities as he prepares for a visit with his younger brother Isaiah.
Bearing Witness: A Name & A Voice
Bearing Witness: A Name & A Voice explores the "who'" behind the "who-what-when-where-why" of the media through four intersecting portraits of newspaper journalists and the stories that haunt them.
