IN-CONTRO

Roberto Cherubini
Duration: 3:10

IN-CONTRO is a project that arises from the desire to investigate the relationships and correlations between the concept of space and time. The aim is to offer a vision of reality that assumes an illogical logic, for which two same bodies share the same space at the same time. The idea aims to provoke reflections upon the illusion of experiencing a shared and concrete reality online, where what we perceive as tangible is rather surreal, as it is subjected to personal interpretation and variations of space and time.

SHARDS OF SELF

Roya Pishvaei
Duration: 7:45

Authentic self-reflection takes vulnerability, but it is necessary. SHARDS OF SELF explores the bitter-sweet nature of examining one’s self-image; where do our value and worth come from? There is both pain and beauty that comes with answering this question, and it is so vital to have others who will walk alongside you in the most challenging moments.

This film is an interdisciplinary collaboration by dance, film, and music students at Simon Fraser University. Featuring a 90% POC cast and crew, "shards of self" was conceptualized and choreographed by Roya Pishvaei, with artistic contributions from Mikela Vuorensivu and Andrea Isea Galindo.

CEREBRAL SILENCE

Julia Ozdych
Duration: 2:56

CEREBRAL SILENCE is a film about overstimulation, overthinking, and the challenge of finding stillness in our realities. It is difficult to stay in touch with ourselves when we are surrounded by chaos and swimming in a multitude of thoughts everyday. How can we resist this cognitive brain and find a state of silence? Our daily routines and predictable experiences can be useful in moderation, but if we can limit thoughts and float into a space of allowing, then maybe new and exciting occurrences can take place. We will drive ourselves crazy if we do not feed our bodies with silence.

F-O-R-M is based in so-called Vancouver, in what is colonially known as Canada, on the unceded and stolen traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. F-O-R-M continues to reflect on and bring attention to connection to bodies, land and movement through filmmaking, documentation and storytelling. We are grateful to share and witness these stories together while inspiring movement towards positive change, wherever you may be.
