Description

Temperatures drop, cycles come to a close, we hibernate and recenter. We analyze the world, possibly repeatedly. We might avoid our feelings only to collect our thoughts. In “No se ve desde acá (You Can't See It From Here)” (dir. Enrique Pedraza-Botero; 19 min) capitalistic systems are questioned as we come to realize that the unchecked use of technology oppresses, while “Biir” (dirs. Tahir Mahamat Zene & Bentley Brown; 6 min) reveals the harm we have waged against the natural world and ultimately ourselves. With “Razeh-del” (dir. Maryam Tafakory; 28 min) an artist studies Iranian media through a Feminist lens. In the atmospheric “Lanawaru” (dir. Angello Faccini; 16 min) through a community collaboration, one surrenders to the harmony needed for co-existence. Finally, “Animal Eye” (dir. Carlo Nasisse; 12 min), where curiosity is embraced and the moving image serves to expand our sense of wonder and experimentation. (AT)
