Preserving Worlds
Director
WorldsChat was 1995's hottest 3D chat program. Somehow, it's still online. Take a tour through the strange worlds its users built, and meet an amateur archivist documenting what happened when today's internet invaded the failed utopias of the old web.
Sarasota Half in Dream
Director
An experimental documentary about dead turtles, crab swarms, decaying tennis courts, and microscopic histories. The filmmakers shot their explorations into the abandoned golf courses, factories, and resorts of Sarasota, Florida and spoke to local youths who are using them for new and strange purposes. What would the Surrealists and Situationists think of a suburban, subtropical tourist town? What goes on in a storage unit in the dead of night? What is the afterlife of a decommissioned train car? What ghosts haunt a ruined hotel? What is the life cycle of a city? When will waters wash it all away?
