THE PORNOGRAPHER, 3min., Canada
Directed by Milla Cummings, Marie-Josee Saint-Pierre
The Pornographer traces a woman’s sexual sensations through a poetic, fragmentary sensory arc: from the awakening of desire via an abstract nature that comes alive, through geode-like vulvas that glow and swell, to an orgasm of luminous petals in full bloom. The film is both a site for artistic experimentation and a critical apparatus designed to interrogate the performativity of generative AI tools in representing women’s sexuality.

Project Hazmatic: Dangerous Goods, 13min., USA
Directed by Willa Carroll
Hazarding a guess at our planet’s imperiled future, Project Hazmatic: Dangerous Goods, hovers between cataclysmic hymn, ecstatic elegy, and absurd ritual. Clad in bespoke hazmat suits, eco-voyagers cavort through industrial ruin and wild splendor. In a fever dream of climate crisis and toxic onslaught, individual and collective grief transforms.

BALL LIGHTNIING, 12min., USA
Directed by Catriona Trina Baker
Ball Lightning is the true story of a refugee who fled the personal and social effects of Soviet run East Germany after the end of WWII and immigrated to the United States in the 1960s. The story is told through the eyes of the surrogate daughter that she raised after she was forced to give away her own infant daughter as the iron curtain rose. Gusta serves as an example of survival, kindness and the fortitude of human resilience. The film is dedicated to her lost daughter, Esther, a reminder that the children separated from families because of war are never forgotten by those who love them.
