SUMMARY:Bodies of Time: Documentary Media MFA Thesis Showcase (Night Two)
UID:642676@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION: Please note there will be a reception at 6 PM open to all attendees.    NIGHT TWO: Bodies of Time  Bodies of Time is the 2026 Northwestern Documentary Media MFA Thesis showcase. These films consider ways in which bodies across geographies inhabit a place and how places can settle or unsettle bodies across human and nonhuman timescales. In these works\, we search for wild orchids in Yunnan\, China; observe the state of migratory limbo of a Tibetan mother and son in Kathmandu\, Nepal; wayfind historical encounters across anachronistic timescales in a Chicago canal; and explore the tension between change and stasis as experienced through meditations on place in Chillicothe\, Illinois.  Following the screening\, Block Cinema Curator Michael Metzger will join the filmmakers for a conversation and Q&A with the audience.   Films:  Canal Land (Alan Medina\, 2026\, 15:30 mins\, 16mm-to-digital)  Anachronistic encounters along industrial banks convey the use and abuse of a Chicago canal. Settlers are frozen in time\, the waters remember\, and an amphibian presence persists.  Our Time Here (Victor Ramos\, 2026\, 20 mins\, Digital)  A portrait of a Midwestern town\, observed through the routines of its aging population.  Orchidaceae (Maya Castronovo\, 2026\, 18 mins\, Digital)  a search for an endangered orchid species in Yunnan\, China\, anchors an investigation into networks of cultivation\, and the porous boundary between the authentic and the staged.  Between Two Skies (________\, 2026\, 35 mins\, Digital)  A Tibetan mother and her eleven-year-old son living in Kathmandu\, Nepal\, await a family reunion in Canada.  Total runtime: approx. 88 min     Co-presented by Northwestern’s School of Communication\, The Department of Radio-TV-Film\, Jane Steiner Hoffman and Michael Hoffman\, and The Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art.\n\nMore Info: https://www.blockmuseum.northwestern.edu/cinema/2026/bodies-of-time-documentary-media-mfa-thesis-showcase-night-two.html\n\nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bodies-of-time-documentary-media-mfa-thesis-showcase-night-two-tickets-1989421198358?aff=oddtdtcreator?_eboga=false
