Swimmer

Nik Liguori, USA, digital, 4 min, 2023

A visual fantasia of synaptic processes and the reanimation of personal memory, set to a nautical soundscape first heard in a dream. “Go down to the sea …”

An Open Refusal

Julia Yezbick, USA, S8mm > digital, 11 min, 2022

A collision of an infinity of traces, and a refusal to contain them.

Freshwater

dream hampton, USA, digital, 10 min, 2022

A disappearing Black city, flooded basements, and the fluid nature of memory.

ALL ROSES SLEEP (INVIOLATE LIGHT)

Alana Bartol and Bryce Krynski, Canada, digital, 14 min, 2022

An olfactory video that blends how bees and humans experience and use the land around us. Through the use of ultraviolet video, we see the prairie landscape from a bee’s point of view and with a scratch and sniff card we smell the prairie grasses and wildflowers.

SAFE CRASH #9

Michele Goulette, Canada, digital, 2 min, 2022

Non-sequential visual layering and juxtaposition of all things circular, with a hint of safe / not safe. Audio by Brent Lee.

Hours At Sea

Adam Sekuler, USA, 16mm > digital, 11 min, 2021

A reflection on the transient nature of moments, as captured through the lens of a ferry’s portholes. A nautical tone poem of sound and image relations.

PAST(OR)ALREADY

Calla Moya, Canada, 16mm, 6 min, 2022

Ten images from my grandma’s photo albums of my childhood, printed frame by frame through a digital-to-film process.

As Close As Your Voice Can Call

Derek Jenkins, Canada/USA, 16mm, 13.5 min, 2023

A film about language, about the way trauma inflects grief, and about learning to speak with the dead. I decided to perform a kind of ad hoc seance in which I learned to copy my mother’s signature exactly. This forgery opened me up to other vectors of memory.

The Red Ghetto

Hadassah GreenSky, Odawa, digital, 4 min, 2021

The Cass Corridor neighbourhood of Detroit, otherwise known as the Red Ghetto, was home to several Native Americans / First Nations families from the 1940s to the 1970s. The stories of those times are now lived through their grandchildren.

We Are We Come We Go

Ed Janzen, Canada, digital, 1min, 2023

A meditation on time and acquaintances; a walk through a maze; the artist draws a circular path.
