Dani Leventhal curates Shoulder Land, a film festival featuring Peggy Ahwesh, Nancy Andrews, Carolyn Lambert, Jeanne Liotta, Rachel Stuckey, and Deirtra Thompson. She writes, Using animation, found footage and live action this program of experimental film and video features the work of six artists who communicate complex ideas and deep emotional states of humanity’s impact on the land and on each other. Alternative versions of past, present and future yield dystopic geographies. Something is being birthed out of this, something like a warning.
