What marks do we carry from our forebears? How does family shape the way we make sense of the world? Artists in this program boldly use their cameras to arrest the flow of time and analyze the idiosyncrasies embedded in the mundane to better understand their wellsprings. Privileging the local and the personal, these documentaries reveal the invisible, indestructible ties that bind us to those that came before.


Last winter, Roscina lost her beloved grandmother, a few days later she found out that she was pregnant with her first child and could not help but speculate that the timing of her grandmother's passing spirit had something to do with her child’s conception. This experimental film is based on the only recorded interview Roscina did with her—Seed Summer Tomb investigates temporal echoes, maternal cycles, the metamorphosis of the female body, changing forms of energy, and the thresholds of consciousness.
