«The program features a wide-ranging program of artists, established and emerging, from around the globe utilizing and incorporating Super 8mm, 16mm film, 35mm photographs, miniDV, HD, 4K, stop-motion, 3D animation, computer graphics and other formats. With the majority of works made while the artists were entrenched in lock-down, the event finds many considering their bodies, personal spaces, computer screens, and relationships with nature — other animals and insects, oceans and plant life, and the light from our sun. Several highly personal works celebrate everyday moments with friends or unearth previously unprocessed memories and histories. Others focus on acts of protests; themes of social justice and war; the excess living styles of the elite; utopian proposals of world community and connection; and a longing for and appreciation of connections.»
