Ancestral Shadows dir. Wilma Casal

The reunion of three sisters leads to a journey through the shadows of their ancestors.

Brink dir. Shawna Mann

Brink is a silent short film told entirely through movement, music, and dance. It is the tension of the delicate space between desire and restraint. Brink explores how our connections are tethered by something invisible yet powerful, an emotional gravity that keeps pulling us back toward curiosity and expression.

Listen to Your Mother dir. Anabella Lenzu

"Listen to Your Mother" is a choreographic research project dedicated to the lives of women-identifying artists who are immigrant mothers living in New York City. The project seeks to capture these underrepresented women's stories to inspire dialogue, appreciation, and social support instead of the ongoing prejudice endured that is historically placed against mothers and women in the arts.

Shrimp Shack dir. Raef Van Putten

The myth of a self-sustaining aquarium mysteriously existing beyond time inside a shack within the depths of a psychedelic warehouse.

SUBLIMINAL TABLE dir. Caitlin Adams

SUBLIMINAL TABLE is a cinematic visual document following a group of performers over seven consecutive hours within an immersive installation. A contained grass lawn functions as a shared ground holding action, stillness, and everything in between – as light transitions from day to night.
