by Michelle Kranot, Uri Kranot
It is bitterly cold in the inner city neighborhoods, and yet people come together. I watch them form a line on the horizon. We wait for something to happen. But nothing does. We have come together to witness an event. To participate in a spectacle. To see and be seen.

Bryan Away: The Lake
2020 16+ 5 min
by Qianwen Yu
Lake is liquid, inanimate, emotionless. Like blood flowing through a body, the water circulates and sustains, bringing life to its surroundings. In this video, life is continuously reborn through the raindrops, through the terrain and into the air. The beauty of this process is juxtaposed with the songwriter’s perspective, someone who is detached and yearning to feel the full breadth of human emotion.
