SCREENING WITH Q&A

The Hunter

Metal detector in hand, the Hunter roams through forest and city in search of treasure. It is his way of life, his calling: the summons of Lord Gold. Along the way, however, he finds everything; his home resembles a museum, or a shop filled with objects rescued from anonymity.

The Shining Tapestry

The age of video surveillance has not only taken over our avenues; it has trespassed into the natural world. Today, we live online, in a reality where we can choose to follow a family of owls 24 hours a day. Will this bring us closer to truly knowing these wild animals? Or does it push us even further from understanding what inhabits their gaze and consciousness? Is this an excess of control — or simply monitoring?

Fiction Contract

Yes, obstetric healthcare is also marked by severe racial inequalities. In Fiction Contract, Carolyn Lazard records a simulated childbirth performed by Jada, a Black mannequin — a staging that is at once perfectly surreal and profoundly necessary

Another Other

Two Black figures — a police officer and a university president — are interrogated by white state officials. At stake is their alleged complicity and collaboration with an oppressive, racist system; ultimately, the plans devised for the institutions they lead have, in the eyes of the State, fallen short. An essay film that probes every corner of its own cinematic language.

Intersecting Memory

Old videotapes reveal what memory has made impossible to forget: Shayma’ Awawdeh was six years old when the Second Intifada erupted in Hebron, Palestine. Children play atop tanks and rubble as we hear Shayma’s voice, speaking to her mother.
