2024 Fall MFA Documentary Film Screening

The Department of Art & Art History presents a fall screening of six short films by first-year MFA students in the Documentary Film program. Q&A with filmmakers and reception to immediately follow the screening. 

• 37°49'20" N, 122°29'20" W by Pedro Marnoto | A ritual stirs the sea. Away from the world of the living, San Francisco's unclaimed dead find their final resting place.
• highways take me anywhere I want by María Luisa Santos Fischel | Father and daughter, two emigrants, share stories across distances and separations, hoping to find or make home where they've ended up.
• TEPCO Beach by Zoe Valery | A beach covered in porcelain shards opens up a space for meditations around waste and treasure, and the afterlives of things.
• Mirror by Tirzah Brott | A mirror reflects more than it sees.
• Jelly’s Place by Devon Blackwell | A portrait of Jelly’s Place — a sanctuary for unwanted animals and the industrial landscape that surrounds it.
• Close Combat by Johanna Gustin | A ragtag group of hobby wrestlers meet for their weekly practice, and experience an intimacy that can only come from headlocks, half nelsons, and gut wrenches.
