So You Want to Be a Rock

Shimmering pixels evoke the inner experiences of everything from caterpillars to plastic bottles to computer code. Each film asks a question that demands a radical shift in perspective. Do birds have petty thoughts? How do dogs pick favourites? What happens when rocks are tired of meditating? —Chelsea Birks & Laura Marks

Suppose a Room

This room can hold almost anything: a shadow, a spider, a signal, a suspect, a bed. These films pass through, touching the walls and leaving the door open. Hide out or hang out until morning. —Joni Schinkel
