This program of experimental film and video works unpacks and studies the medium of moving image itself, along with a wide array of subject matter and concepts. From stories including pregnancy, urban life, the “owl theory”, and self-affirming rituals, this group of artists inventively plays with new and compelling methods of filmmaking.

This program will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.
Programmed by Guest Festival Shorts Programmer, Emily Eddy.
Content Considerations: Strong language, implied violence.
Through its rhythmic montage and mix of observational and surreal imagery, Malembe forges oblique linkages between the United States and Venezuela, conveying the strange dissociation of being uprooted, of living between places. As a knife cuts through sky, through snow, and through fruit, quasi-ethnographic footage—with its conventional markers of music, food, ritual—joins with home-movie auto-portraiture of a New England winter.
