Ursula von Rydingsvard: Into Her Own
Editor
This compelling documentary portrait is a quiet ode to a woman whose approach to form and material are unmatched in the art world. Working primarily in cedar, von Rydingsvard creates monumental sculptures that play with texture and shape in ways that evoke surprising emotion. Born in Germany to Ukrainian-Polish parents, von Rydingsvard’s family was detained for five years in a post-WWII refugee camp before moving to America. The pain and trauma of this experience, coupled with the anger born from an abusive childhood, left indelible marks on Ursula. But her ability to channel this into her work and practice undoubtedly birthed an artist of singular determination and talent.

Coração de Cachorro
Editor
Centrado na cachorra Lolabelle, que morreu em 2011 e era muito querida pela diretora, o filme é um ensaio pessoal que combina lembranças de infância, diários em vídeo, reflexões sobre dados, cultura de vigilância e a visão budista sobre a morte, além de tributos a artistas, escritores, músicos e pensadores. Numa espécie de colagem visual, o filme examina como histórias são construídas e contadas —e como as usamos para dar sentido às nossas vidas.

White Homeland Commando
Special Effects
White Homeland Commando takes the familiar terrain of network action drama and tilts the playing field. Reminiscent of today's popular reality-based cop shows, White Homeland Commando offers a straightforward story: four members of a special police unit investigate and infiltrate a New York-based white supremacist organization. But that is where the commonplace ends. The teleplay is shot and edited in a highly textured visual style, the colors are subdued yet somehow garish, and the sound is deliberately just out of sync with the speaker's lips. Occasional static combines with jumps in the plot — the editing is reminiscent of a television viewer flipping channels.
