Small moments-remembering friends and family, capturing the details of nature, contemplating a neighborhood's history-abound in these seven artistic visions. Shifting from the public space of amusement parks to the intimacies of home, these formally inventive films are visually arresting and philosophically introspective. Their meticulous observations reveal the filmmakers' respect for the emotional resonance of simple objects and familiar places and remind us that one can simultaneously mourn and celebrate the past. In Last Days in a Lonely Place, Phil Solomon transforms the virtual landscapes of a video game into an existential tale of solemn beauty. Exhilarating visions of amusement park rides and twirling children in Henry Hills's Failed States ask: Is the world spinning out of control? A walk though a San Francisco neighborhood overlays the past and present to reveal a forgotten nineteenth-century pleasure park through stereographic images in Woodward's Gardens by Katherin McInnis. In Vincent Grenier's Armoire, a robin's game of hide-and-seek raises the question of what it and we are seeing. Snapshot portraits of sailors are accompanied by intimate biographical musings, which sway us gently to and fro like the rocking of a ship, in Stephanie Barber's dwarfs the sea. In Abraham Ravett's Tziporah, embroidered handkerchiefs and other cherished linens, saved over a lifetime, make up a cinematic reflection on loss and grief. In Robert Beavers's Pitcher of Colored Light, peace and loneliness infuse an elderly woman's home and garden, sensuously depicted in changing light over the seasons.
