A Month of Single Frames<br />

Documentary<br />

by Lynne Sachs<br />

Brooklyn, NY. 14 min.<br />

In 1998, filmmaker Barbara<br />

Hammer had a onemonth<br />

artist residency in<br />

the C Scape Duneshack<br />

which is run by the Provincetown<br />

Community<br />

Compact in Cape Cod,<br />

Massachusetts. The shack<br />

had no running water or electricity. While there, she shot<br />

16mm film with her Beaulieu camera, recorded sounds with<br />

her cassette recorder and kept a journal.<br />

In 2018, Barbara began her own process of dying by revisiting<br />

her personal archive. She gave all of her Duneshack images,<br />

sounds and writing to filmmaker Lynne Sachs and invited her<br />

to make a film with the material.<br />

Box of Memories<br />

Animation<br />

by Felicitas Yang<br />

Heidelberg, Germany. 4 min.<br />

“Box of Memories” opens<br />

a small window into an<br />

intimate dialogue between<br />

two individuals who used<br />

to be close to each other.<br />

It does not take a stance<br />

on whether either of the<br />

individuals is correct, but rather focuses on the question of<br />

how shared memories affect people similarly and differently.<br />
