PROGRAM 1: FAMILY TIME CHANGES
Streaming June 9 – 13, Artist Q&A on Wednesday, June 9 at 7:00 pm

The families we choose and the families we are born into carry their own sense of time. Using a mixture of found footage and original images, these works capture the infinite permutations of the family time in the face of political and economic projects intended to render them meaningless. Throughout the program, filmmakers weather personal crises, celebrate the revolutionary potential of love, and recognize the time passing. Program depicts sexual content and situations.
