Landing on the Edge Place for Landing Shambhavi Kaul, USA, 2010, 6m. Ms. Kaul noted before the film that it was entirely shot in mirrors which created some interesting framing choices. A good choice to lead off this session. Hearts are Trump Again Dani Leventhal, USA, 2010, 14m. Two and half days in and the [...]

Sea Scrolls Atlantis Pieter Geenen, China/Belgium, 2008, 11.18m. If Google Street was in the experimental movie business, this might be the kind of movie they would deliver. The never blinking eye, always scanning, never stopping, never making judgments. Dining Cars Arianne Olthaar, Netherlands, 2009, 15.5m. I remember going to Flordia by train and having dinner [...]
