Wrought directed by Anna Sigrithur and Joel Penner (Canada) - 22 min
A short time lapse film exploring rot, fermentation and decay. Wrought unfolds a larger story about the ways humans create categories for the world around us that can be limiting. It explores (and challenges) terms like spoil, ferment, compost and rot as it coaxes audiences to decompose these categories and their associated binaries: self and other, human and non-human, and nature and culture. As the film title implies, we are all forged out of the relationships that transgress such binaries; we are all, indeed, wrought.
Against the Tide directed by Sarvnik Kaur (India/France) - 97 min
