2cent/10coil – Experimental
10 min. by Monteith McCollum, Binghamton, NY, USA
Part science, part history, “2cent /10coil” is an exploration into the physical
properties of a U.S. postage stamp and the anomalies it presents when
subjected to the beam of an electron microscope. Integrated within, are the
philosophical musings and speeches of a man in his last weeks of life on a
quest entitled, “The Voyage of Understanding.”

CITATION AWARDS
A Paw Over Dark – Animation
10 min. by Dorian Saisse and Marissa Molson,

A Spell for Queer Home – Documentary
40 min. by Amanda Madden, Salt Lake City, UT, USA
“I arrive in a ghost town in the desert. I am here to cast a queer home spell.”
Braiding together embodied exploration, stories and wisdom from queer and
trans folks across the country, and original spell songs, this film is a meditation
and reflection on the question – what does it mean to be at home as a queer
person?
