The window kind of opens by Itself takes place at the intergenerational, embodied intersection of four important experimental dance artists. It explores radical expressions of self within duet form to reveal intimate and epic portals of connection, divergence, and aliveness.

Objectionable Fruit is an experimental documentary examining the Ginkgo tree—a living fossil celebrated for its resilience and unique capacity to change sexes, defying human- imposed binaries. Using the Ginkgo as a metaphor for fluidity and endurance, the film weaves together themes of gender identity, ecological interconnectedness, and the nuanced complexities of trans existence.

The story of volunteers Oleh Dehusarov, Vyacheslav Lukashchuk, and Oleh Salnyk. Since the early days of the invasion, they have been saving lives, evacuating civilians, and delivering humanitarian aid—despite bombardments, flooding, and being hunted down by FPV drones. On April 12, 2025, Oleh Salnyk was killed during one of these targeted FPV drone attacks. The Ukraine War Archive team recorded an interview with him in August 2023, shortly after the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam.

As a crier, this film involves a process of trying to hold back tears — as words break down and turn into crying — and of trying to explain the tears. It is also about an ambivalent attitude — being personal yet attempting to keep a distance from personal emotions, wanting to talk about crying but being unable to.

We invite you on a journey into the realms of the subconscious where you will question the nature of reality and perception. Disappearing is a short film that takes you into the realms of the subconscious and gives you the impression that, just like in dreaming, you have generated the images yourself, even though you don't know why. The film explores the claim of material reality, that matter is just a vibration of energy, that reality is not as we perceive it and that there is much more that we don't see.

Sisters Sasha and Kira survive together in a post-apocalyptic world ruined by war. Sudden deadly flashes strike, while dangerous gangs roam around. But there must be a city out there where people still live, right? An alien creature watches the sisters from space. Maybe it knows the answer.

January 22 is an intimate film about the filmmaker's personal experience having an abortion on the anniversary of Roe V. Wade. Through a candid and reflective lens, the diary-style film delves into this topic with honesty and sensitivity.

A series of 1 reel diary films made up of improvised superimpositions. The mundane and the absurd aspects of contemporary life that overwrite one another: a genocide on our phones, a skeleton just outside the window, road trips through the midwest, an eagle and a serpent. Captured in camera without editing on 8mm and blown up to 16mm.

I found some old footage of a tree is a new film that envisions a Mother Nature- like character, personified as an experimental filmmaker. The film is not intended to be read as her finished work, but rather a snapshot of the creative process—like a journal entry, a vignette of ideas, or a mind map as she contemplates how to capture the changing planet. In this piece, the materiality of film becomes a metaphor for time, impermanence, and the ephemeral nature of the physical world. A sense of anxiety and urgency shapes the work, leaving us uncertain whether we are witnessing the past, the present, or a message from the future.

Along the banks of the Salaca River in rural Latvia, a haven emerges where analog film wizards and aspiring apprentices unite. At this pop-up school, the art of filmmaking intertwines with botany, folklore, and magic, weaving a tapestry of creativity and tradition.

In a place woven with memories, absence is invoked only to be recognized as something filled with presence.

Shot on Super 8 at a framerate equivalent to the beats of a hummingbird’s wing, the artist documents a buoyant open-air conversation with her 103-year-old grandmother in a garden.

Imagine a dream-centric world. A world more focused on inner than outer. A world where reality begins in dreams. The writer Jane Roberts dreamt of such a world. In the 1970s-80s, she published a series of best-selling books collectively known as the “Seth Material”. Drawn from these texts, and filmed in the house where she lived and wrote, this is a nocturnal meditation, an oneiric exercise, a dream seed, a primer for the movie your mind will make when you go to sleep tonight.

The artist uses semaphore—a maritime-based communication system that uses handheld flags to convey information at a distance—to transmit a message to the sea. Created at the end of an artist residency at the Sou’wester in Seaview, WA.

A visual poem reflecting on Missouri’s tornado season and the destruction left in its wake.

This triptych plays on polysemy and repetition to simultaneously address the encounters that unsettle us, impact us, and change us, as well as the chemical exchanges that take place in a polluted environment.

Museum Underwater explores the dreams and childhood memories of a young girl named Norma. Through different styles of animation and lyrical storytelling, the film transports us to an underwater world where angels, St. Jacob, Walt Whitman, great-grandmother Gala, and secret miracles come to life.

Poet Willie Perdomo performs his iconic poem “That’s My Heart Right There” against the backdrop of New York City’s East River.

A short paper cut-out animation that explores the process of growing up, change, and (in)dependence. Through quiet moments and familiar roads, the film captures the transition from childhood to finding one’s own way.
