Composition
9,192,631,770 Hz
Is time a phenomenon that can be captured with scientific precision, or is it a strictly personal experience? In this cinematic essay, director Todd Chandler explores how we control time, and how time controls us.
Air Horse One
Show jumping horse Legacy travels from Florida to Europe, zigzagging from one championship to the next aboard a specially equipped airplane, where every effort is made to ensure she arrives at her destination with as little stress as possible.
Detach
What happens when a surgical robot, originally developed to operate on soldiers on the battlefield, becomes self-aware? A disorienting, unsettling exploration of the thin line between saving a life and taking a life.
Fear Nothing
Private security is big business in inequality-ridden South Africa. This behind-the-scenes look reveals that rather than increasing safety, all the weapons, alarm systems, and drones only serve to fuel paranoia, racism, and aggression.
