WITH/IN, 8min., USA
Directed by John Dixon
The inner world flows and changes like an oceanic expanse compressed into a series of moments that fracture even as they form. One woman finds herself unfolding into fleeting interactions that careen beyond her imagination; a thousand images of self and other caught in drops and waves and reflected light.

BREATHING ROOM: MOON' MARKED JOURNEY, 13min., USA

From the studio of acclaimed visual artist Shinique Smith, Breathing Room: Moon Marked Journey, is a film meditation on breath, Indigo, and blue as a color that has long inspired Smith’s art practice. This new piece is about Indigo, blue, the body, my body as a black woman, and the effect that the blue can have on body, on memory, and spirit.
