ISABELLE, 4min., USA
Directed by Annie Kloppenberg
Isabelle Johnson (1901-1992): artist, rancher, teacher. In this film, three young women imagine her ghostly presence, re-inhabiting the very land she loved, their action framed by Patrick Dougherty’s fantastical installation that weaves local willows–the lines with which he draws–into new spaces as chambers to house our collective imagination.

APOLLO AND DAPHNE, 3min., USA
Directed by Minglu DU
Apollo and Daphne is a clay-and-paper stop-motion animation that re-examines a canonical myth by attending to what is often obscured within its familiar telling. Instead of framing Apollo’s pursuit as an emblem of divine love, the work foregrounds the anxiety and coercive power embedded in this scene of chase and metamorphosis.
