Program

Lello
Maya Craig and Mimi Cave, 2008, USA, 11m
A conversation-in-movement between mother and daughter. It addresses a mother's inability to appropriately support her daughter's needs, and comments on a daughter's reactions to an inconsistent parent. At times, the mother's micro-management is rampant, while other times she is completely absent and unavailable, lost in her own world of melancholy and overwhelmed by the simplicity of life. The daughter reacts to these inconsistencies and manic behaviors with excessive daydreaming, rebellious actions, appearing to ignore her mother's every word, but there's a quiet self-blame for her mother's sadness.

"Torn into bits and gone with the wind."

Arising
Ben Dolphin, USA, 2008; 4m

Of The Heart Nominated for DOC 09 Jury Prize

Nora DOC 09 Audience Favorite
Alla Kovgan and David Hinton, 2008, USA/UK; 35m Directed by Alla Kovgan and David Hinton, choreographed by Nora Chipaumire, soundscore by Thomas Mapfumo, produced by Joan Frosch (USA/Zimbabwe/Mozambique/UK) — a dense and swiftly moving poem of sound and image that tells the story of a dancer growing up in Zimbabwe.
