NYFI (The Bride)
Alana Kakoyiannis
In an emotionally infused montage using archival footage, text and voiceover, the filmmaker compares the premise of contemporary marriage to that of arranged marriage. By juxtaposing her own experience to that of her Greek immigrant grandparents, the piece reflects on the possibility that although we enjoy more freedom today, the same uncertainties about love continue to plague us.
Not Of Here
Laura Mariposa
Feet are stuck to this surface like suction cups.

From here to there.
There are many places where no one ever walks.
Earth lays dormant.
These places are crusts of commerce.
Go dancing there.
