ALL YOU WANT IS GREECE
Director
Something is awry with Greece’s COVID-19 tourism ads—is it the virus itself? Or is the invitation to #visitgreece not as open as it seems? With a little help from datamoshing, the ads begin to offer glimpses of new anti-migrant measures and reveal the contradictions of travel.
Becoming
Director
As the US ramps up border enforcement during summer 2019, a formerly undocumented activist prepares for her naturalization test. In impressionistic scenes that link North Carolina with the Arizona borderlands, the film playfully interrogates the paradoxes of citizenship.
Truth or Dare
Director
The fate of the "Lost Colony" of Roanoke has preoccupied historians, archeologists, and writers for centuries—many obsessed with recovering a white European origin story that predates Plymouth and Jamestown. In the age of YouTube conspiracy theories, it has never been easier to participate in American myth-building.
Viaggio
Director
During a trip to Italy, a relationship falters. An autofictional travelogue unearthed from neorealist landscapes.
The Dead Die Once
Director
A refugee's dinner routine is transformed when she begins to hear the voices of those she has lost. Based on a short story by Syrian writer Jehan Sayed Issa.
The Island Man
Director
Though he is long gone, buried on the Greek island he left behind as a teenager, John remains a painful mystery to his former wife, children, and grandson. On rediscovering his home movies, they begin to reconcile the troubled man they knew with the person he might have been. A film about memory, loss, and being caught between two homes.
