This event took place on Zoom and has concluded.

Tetlalli: the place of stones
Miguel Nájera
Mexico City, Mexico | 2019 | 6 | digital
World Premiere
Through mist and stones, a setar player will embark on a journey from which he will not return.

The Golden Legend
Chema García Ibarra and Ion de Sosa
Elche and Donostia, Spain | 2019 | 11 | DCP
A summer day at the swimming pool of the village of Montánchez, Spain. From above, Our Lady of Consolation of the Castle keeps her watchful gaze.

The Deepest Hole
Matt McCormick
Spokane, WA | 2020 | 12 | DCP
While the Space Race, the Arms Race, and a myriad of other Cold War competitions are common knowledge, few know that the United States and Soviet Union also faced off to see which country could dig the deepest hole. This lack of public awareness is particularly surprising, seeing that one of the countries may have inadvertently discovered Hell in the process.

The Eyes of Summer
Rajee Samarasinghe
Colombo, Sri Lanka | 2020 | 15 | DCP
This film was shot in the filmmaker’s mother’s village in Southern Sri Lanka—shortly after the civil war in 2010. Collaboratively developed with family members there, a narrative was improvised around an investigation into the mother’s interactions with spirits in the community during her childhood.

Candy Shop
Patrick Smith
New York, NY | 2019 | 3 | DCP
There are 11,926 pharmaceutical drugs available worldwide. This film shows 2863 of them. Pills and capsules are choreographed into a cacophony of shape, color, and size, resulting in a satirical commentary about our cultural, recreational, and economic infatuation with prescription drugs.

Vertigo A.I.
Chris Peters
Los Angeles, CA | 2019 | 5 | DCP
An artificial intelligence computer watched the Hitchcock classic Vertigo 20 times in a row and then made its own disturbing movie.

Colors & Shadows
Andreas Hadjipateras
London, UK | 2019 | 10 | DCP
US Premiere
A documentary short that explores the distortion of memory in old age, this film follows a man as he retraces the important moments of his life. As he enters his final chapter, it becomes clear that he can no longer separate reality from what he has dreamed of.
