- Synopsis
The characters in these films find themselves in emotional transit, navigating new terrain in their lives. Drawing upon the maelstrom of emotions that accompany great change, the films employ a visual language of celebration, confusion, dread and anticipation. A young man struggles to reconcile the terse relationship with his father before he leaves for a military tour. A teenage friendship oscillates between abusive and compelling. A young woman makes a decision that confounds her boyfriend. These distilled moments gesture to grander, and sometimes life-altering changes. * Films: 2003 (dir. Harris Dickinson, 13’), Bend (dir.
