Good Neighbors Care
In a desperate attempt to rebrand, a chemical company in North Carolina promises clean water while their neighbors suffer due to the ecological disaster they’ve caused. Using chemically altered 16mm film of greenwashing campaigns, this film renders visible a crisis underpinned by corporate lies.
Memory Replica (Ký Ức Ký Ức)
After hearing about a pagoda's mysterious disappearance, a trio of filmmakers embark on a journey to find an explanation.
Ode (An Acknowledgement of Sea Country)
An experimental, cameraless animation created from handmade macroalgae celluloid and bio-sonified seaweed. Developed in collaboration with CSIRO marine scientists, "Ode" embodies post-petrochemical cinema in a time of ecological crisis.
SomatiQ Black: Neci
Black woman: reach backward through memory for the girl you once were. Meet the selves you buried, borrowed, and became. Tend to the home that was never lost, only waiting.
Crab Diane
A young waitress tired of working at a seaside diner reaches out to cosmic forces.
The Worm
Kieran is convinced a telepathic earthworm is manipulating him into making bad choices in his life. His concerned family decide to stage an intervention. The result? An amusingly bizarre showdown between reason, belief and one very unlucky invertebrate.
