SHIFT
DIRECTED BY HYEONJIN KIM
With symbolic imagery, Shift expresses a circle in which the metaphoric identities of death and life become interchangeable. 2001, U.S., color, video, 16 minutes..

SUCH LOVE EXISTS
DIRECTED BY SHANA KAPLOW
A mysterious, fluid image of hands manipulating black wire suggests veins, conduits, potential blood clots, or bloodlines that link us. Or perhaps a knot is a banal task, a puzzle, or a creative problem. 2000, U.S., color, video, 5 minutes.

SPACE TWENTY-FIVE BERLIN (SPAZIO VENTICINQUE BERLINO)
DIRECTED BY LORENZA LUCCHI BASILI

BRIEF INCOMPLETE VIEW
DIRECTED BY COLLEEN LUDWIG
Within the framework of a dream, this animation shows objects from a junk drawer portraying ideas and emotions that stand in for the absent person. A doll's head functions as a character that sifts through the subconscious, teasing bits of information to the surface and suggesting the cyclical nature of a never-ending search. 2001, U.S., color, video, 10 minutes.
