Tulipomania: Gone
2020 16+ 3 min
by Tulipomania, Cheryl Gelover, Tom Murray
When money talks, who is listening? A torrent of tattered animated objects and shredded collage excavates the headlines as the death knell sounds for the status quo in this mournful dirge. The animation was created frame by frame and includes stop-motion objects as well as collages on thousands of individual sheets of black paper.

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.

Past is Growing
2018 16+ 8 min
by Dea Jagić
The past, the present, a change of perception. What is it that keeps us from going forward and why does the past keep pulling us back? When do we realize that our perception of things has shifted? Everyone goes through that process. What differs is how we experience and deal with it.
