Experimental Shorts - MARIA'S SILENCE, SALT WATER, SUE GENERIS and WOMAN OF LIFE
Shorts programs are listed alphabetically and not in the order of screening.
Followed by a Q & A with the filmmakers
MARIA'S SILENCE Director: Cesare Bedogne Countries: Italy/Greece, Running Time: 38 min This experimental film is based on documentary material but is not, strictly speaking, a documentary film. Nor is it a work of fiction. It appeared like a dream, not a nocturnal dream, but one which unfolded day by day while shooting. The film is also a meditation on the elements, Water and Fire, Wind, Earth and Skin.
SALT WATER Director: Abe Abraham Country: USA, Running Time: 6 min Dance-film set to the seismographic recordings of the earth's vibrations.
SUI GENERIS Director: Erin Pollock Country: USA, Running Time: 15 min Animated clay sculptures battle their egos and struggle to communicate. They may suffer physical and emotional imperfections but, like humans, theyre in a constant state of transformation. Destroying and rebuilding, again and again, this mud grows into ever new iterations. The process can be cruel and absurd, but empathy always creeps in to allow for tender moments of connection.
and
WOMAN OF LIFE World Premiere Director: Alif Areca Sankey Country: UK, Running Time: 12 min A dramatic experimental film about the struggle of a woman on her life's journey.
Followed by a Q & A with the filmmakers
