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?”
