Cynthia confronts her binds to tradition while spending the holidays without family for the first time, seeking solace in reflection.
Recreation
Director
This short film investigates the cult of image making surrounding one of the most iconic American landscapes. Through a barrage of home movies and social videos this film examines the extensive archive of amateur images that have been created in and around Grand Canyon National Park, provoking questions about the relationships between tourism, photography, land use and memory in the American southwest.
Jet Line
Director
This short film employs an anonymous hotline to elevate the voices beneath Vermont's F-35 flight path, the first urban residents to live with one of the military's most controversial weapons systems overhead. Tranquil scenes of unassuming neighborhoods near Burlington International Airport are juxtaposed with voicemails of the unheard, those drowned out by the ear-shattering “sound of freedom.” Exploring the relationship between picturesque residential areas and the deafening fighter jets overhead, Jet Line is a poetic portrait of a community plagued by war machines, documenting untenable conditions in a small city once voted one of the best places to live in America.
Even in Paradise
Director
Serene forest groves and opaque Silicon Valley windows provide the visual framework for an assumption-challenging essay film taking a critical geography approach toward a new way of seeing the costs of warmaking as they are found in the very flesh of California.
