B-LA CONNECT, an initiative to promote cooperation and networking between the creative communites of the sister cities of Berlin and Los Angeles.
This film screening features the video art of 15 artists from both Berlin and Los Angeles. The work, which ranges from the surreal to the hauntingly poignant, includes journeys in search of family, healing, and one's own depths, as well as explorations of cosmic time, painstaking exercises in embodiment, and graceful, captivating rituals performed in isolation. Please join us and meet the artists from both sides of the Atlantic.
