Snapshots in time show a lone man — Hawkins’ husband — as he builds, tends and harvests a circular garden enriched by the bounty of seaweed and fish that he gathers from the shore. “The interplay of one man and the plants and animals around him is my story and my metaphor for the inescapable circles that direct our lives,” says Hawkins.

Circle of Truth

A hooded figure looks down on a city ravaged by war, granting peace and sleep to frightened people living in hiding. But a mother searching for her daughter refuses to rest until her child is found. Gorgeous animation and story that, while heartbreaking, fills you with a unique stillness.
