Teta, Opi & Me
Filmed entirely with an iPhone, Teta, Opi & Me is a tribute to conformity, tolerance and courage. It is a poetic, meditative, multilingual, and feeling-driven short film, documenting the intricacies of the artist’s playful process in capturing her grandparents’ enduring romance through social, political and racial adversity. He comes from Bethlehem, Palestine and she comes from Vienna, Austria. Incorporating poetic filmic scenarios, vérité scenes, interviews, and home movies, the work is an intergenerational dialogue that explores themes of family, love, and the intermingling of cultures.

and the story remains
After years of silence, a woman returns to a memory she was once forbidden to recall. As she develops forgotten images, the past surfaces in fragments of light, grain, and the slow emergence of a face. The film lingers between past and present, exploring whether enforced silence can wound more deeply than the trauma itself.

The Gloria of Your Imagination
New York based film artist Jennifer Reeves, known for her 16mm experiments, revisits “Three Approaches to Psychotherapy” (1965), which portrays Gloria Szymanski in sessions with three male therapists. Through found footage and tactile interventions on film, Reeves reframes the material into an empowering portrait. By adding home movies, newsreels, and advertisements, she situates Gloria’s story in context, exposing the unequal power dynamics behind the original film. Gloria emerges not as a case study but as a complex, vivid woman whose openness about her fears, desires, and contradictions still resonates today.

Woven in Time
Woven in Time features the wearable art creations of renowned Canadian fabric artist Evelyn Roth animated by her ‘moving sculpture company’ of dancers in collaboration with filmmaker Tony Westman. Evelyn won an ‘Etrog’ in the Best Art Direction category at the 1977 Canadian Film Awards for this timeless artistic classic. The allegorical visual narrative presents transformations of creatures that emerge from the sea, moving onto a vast desert landscape, then into a cocoon state only to be re-born into a lush landscape of color and eventual freedom.
