Greetings from Bonita
Dir. Caitlin Ryan 2022
USA 5 min
Celebrity, family, death, and bugs. This film is somewhere between a postcard and stream of consciousness.
71
Dir. Paige Taul 2022
USA 19 min
71 is about the sensibilities of the black middle class as observed by Jessica Taul and Pamela Patterson, the filmmaker's mother and aunt, respectively. They discuss their differing tastes, definitions of class, frogs, and other qualifiers they consider in their evaluation of the space that they live in: a suburban-like outcropping of identical housing units.
Silent Clinking
Dir. Ayesha Bashir 2022
Pakistan / USA 3 min
This personal doc reconstructs memory through cultural memorabilia and explores the role of objects in fostering nostalgia. It also investigates the reliability of memory as a form of remembrance, as the protagonist fails to remember her first memory. This film is left intentionally unsubtitled as I wanted my non-Urdu/Hindi-speaking audience to understand the piece emotionally and visually, and I believe that the sentiments conveyed are not difficult to decipher.
Jan en To
Dir. Lili Dekker 2019
USA 33 min
An observational documentary about my grandparents as they experience Alzheimer’s within their private home. Filmed on a consumer camcorder during one of my summer visits to The Netherlands, “Jan en To” shows the resilience of their love as they navigate the patient and demanding acts of caregiving and -receiving.
s There A Pine On The Mountain
Dir. Chongyan Liu 2022
China / France 38 min
Filmmaker Chongyan Liu documents a time when the mother of her abusive ex-partner came to stay in their Parisian apartment.
