13 WEEKS OF ISOLATION
By Teodosia Dobriyanov
The passivity of staying in confinement can grant other events a level of abstraction, but we need to fight this feeling and stay vigilant. We have seen too many authoritarian governments taking advantage of the COVD crisis and the fragility it creates. The times we're in ask us to fight against our human inability to focus our attention on multiple things for a long period of time. But I feel like this is a challenge our future depends on. I guess this is what the film is about.
Solo
By Phillip Soulliere
“Solo” was made of the manic necessity to fill my time in quarantine with some semblance of productivity. I began to think a lot about the idea of actually being completely alone during that time. No roommates or partner to help inhabit the days, just complete solitude. The process was all encompassing as I didn’t have a particular story in mind. Instead I chose to try and really inhabit the mindset of how I thought the deterioration of the outside world would have affected me in such a lonely state. The product of that mindset was definitely jarring. I drank too much, stayed up most nights till around 4AM, talked to myself a lot, and tried to dream up scenes or shots that really captured the place my psyche was going. In the end I was blown away that this film became sort of a letter of encouragement to the people in my life. The idea that this would end one day and that you don’t actually have to feel obligated to make so much out of the time. Just keep pushing, take care of yourself and the people around you, we’ll get through this.
