FINDING RHYTHM

Saturday | September 21 | 9:30AM

Sheep Seasons • Becoming • On The Clock • Wave Hands Like Clouds • The Art of Flying

Nature has its own rhythm, and this poetic (and often wordless) group of shorts explores that pulse, from a year in the life of sheep to highliners finding their balance to the evolution of an Alpine newt. Q&A to follow.

Sheep Seasons | 17m
Director: Katherine Roselli
​
We wear their fleece. We may eat their meat. But who knew sheep had so much soul? Sheep Seasons follows a year in the life of a small flock of sheep in Southern Oregon. We meet winter’s pregnant ewes, watch spring’s lambing, settle into summer’s growing, and marvel at fall’s shearing and renewed breeding. Original cello music, compelling close ups and generous panoramas immerse the viewer in sheep life.

Becoming | 6m
Director: Jan van IJken
​
BECOMING is a short film about the miraculous genesis of animal life. In great microscopic detail, we see the ‘making of’ an Alpine Newt in its transparant egg from the first cell division to hatching. A single cell is transformed into a complete, complex living organism with a beating heart and running bloodstream.


Picture
On The Clock | 15m
Director: Tayo Amos
​
When Sofia gets her first period, Lucas sets out to secure the feminine products she needs, confronting many harsh realities along the way. ON THE CLOCK is a kinetic and intimate portrayal of two siblings coming of age in East LA.

Wave Hands Like Clouds | 3m
Director: Marga Laube
Wave Hands Like Clouds is a poetic exploration of the breathtakingly beautiful endeavor of highlining.


Picture
The Art of Flying | 17m
Director: Jan van IJken
​
A short film about “murmurations”: the mysterious flights of the Common Starling. It is still unknown how the thousands of birds are able to fly in such dense swarms without colliding. Every night the starlings gather at dusk to perform their stunning air show.
