Potato Tacos, or A Lesson in How Much Salt You Really Need
Availability ended 10/24/2021 EDT
All I know is that I like a good story, a great taco, and to live among the truly free.
"Potato Tacos, or A Lesson in How Much Salt You Really Need," is a short animated film that takes the audience into the kitchen of a large Mexican-American family to make potato tacos. Three generations of Muñoz women create the family matriarch's famous recipe. They tell stories, laugh, poke fun, and make food together. 
Two Minutes on High

It's time to get out of the kitchen...
"Two Minutes on High” challenges the deeply ingrained concepts of normative sexuality and traditional gender roles via a metaphoric exploration of the four phases of the sexual response cycle: desire, arousal, climax and resolution.
Desire and arousal take a more commercialized approach, commenting on the heteronormative sexual programming that is heavily reinforced by the consumption of mainstream cinema and online pornography; the two predominant mediums via which we frequently observe sex.
Climax and resolution explore the impact that power dynamics and gender roles have on the expression of sexuality and sexual practices within western culture. The introduction of sounds and images that bend and break these norms encourage the viewer to reconsider the effects that social conditioning and media consumption play in our perceptions and behavior surrounding sexuality and gender. 
Deep Breath

Deep Breath is an anti-racist, art-as-activism poem in three parts, by Dr. Nia Nunn. Danced to, by members of her Ithaca community
One summer, during an uprising, and a global pandemic, a group of people gathered at the Cherry Arts space in Ithaca, New York to rally around Dr. Nia Nunn's poem, Deep Breath.
Local activists, dancers, and volunteers came to dance out our anger and to breathe into what hurts.
After we danced, we sat with each performer for an interview.

Luftballon
Availability ended 10/24/2021 EDT
A women and a fleet of balloons, inexplicably entangled, set out on a journey.
In this experimental dance short, a woman grapples with the first moment of loving something and the fear of losing it. Like a child growing up, she moves wordlessly through changing landscapes, in some moments chasing and in some moments fleeing a fleet of balloons. She loves them, grows disillusioned with them, hides them away, and then desperately desires them again. This is a cycle which must, at some point, give birth to new beginnings. 
The Ark
Availability ended 10/24/2021 EDT
A visual time capsule for a living wound.
Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Ark is a hybrid documentary short that weaves together experimental video diaries and lyrical performance to reflect on longing, loss, and the ways we cope with isolation. This collection of video diaries assembles works of professional and novice artists in response to Shared Process, a series of filmmaking prompts generated between April-June 2020. Through these intimate portraits and the filmmakers’ poetic engagement with the myth of The Great Flood, the film examines the magnitude of our collective grief and asks “On the other side of this, who will we become?”

a spasm at the intersection of bodies and branches, by Han Van Sciver & é boylan
How do you tend to a body that isn't wholly your own? How do you reclaim your branch of the family tree? How do you excavate what was inherited to make room for what is innate? " my body is a tree" is a movement score by Han Van Sciver, inspired by and performed to the music of é boylan. As two trans theatre makers, Han and é explore the overlap between bodies and branches, between artist and alien.

An atmospheric exploration of the effects of total isolation, the film, shot on 35mm, is without dialogue and relies heavily on sound and imagery to take us through our character's deteriorating mental and physical state as she deals with loss, loneliness, and the fragility of the human experience.

An ecofeminist tragicomedy
In a handcrafted world where nature exists in harmony, a handful of greedy businessmen exploit a mountain’s riches. The female body becomes both landscape and characters in an exploration of what happens when Man considers himself separate from Nature. This ecofeminist tragicomedy blurs the line between fable and reality.
