This collection of shorts illuminates love in its many expressions. The timeless theme of familial conflict is rendered in One Week Wake (Tammy Apana, 2001, 20 mins, 35mm) and in Ohm-Ma (Ruthann Lee, 2002, 5.5 mins), an intimate video-letter by a queer artist. Wenhwa Ts'ao's lyrical Exercise with Chin Yung (8 mins) depicts the filmmaker's struggles as the daughter of an old-fashioned Chinese father. In My Mother's Keeper (Malissa Strong, 10.5 mins), a woman caught between her mother's deteriorating health and a failed marriage finds strength from an unlikely source. Chi-Jang Yin's experimental Untitled Affair (7 mins) addresses the fluid boundaries between memory, fantasy, and reality as a woman recalls a moment at the theater. The filmmaker's affection for her subjects is evident in the beautiful documentary Love in an Elevator (Thea St. Omer, 2002, 17 mins, B&W, 16mm), a love story of a couple in their eighties. Young love is heightened by a sense of tragedy in Bessie's Blues (Marsha Battee, 8 mins) and in Lockjaw (Gayle R. Romasanta, 18 mins), an irreverent romantic comedy that dares to ask if the love of God can fulfill the desires of a nun.
