 is a Philadelphia-based media arts collective dedicated to exploring new approaches to experimental art exhibition. Since the spring of 2018 we have worked towards creating an open forum for film and electronic art in the city by hosting frequent screenings and performance events.

This film was made manually using an inkjet printer and clear 16mm film leader. The film reworks footage from a short narrative film made by the artist's mother in the 1970's. The film also uses source material from family films shot by the artist's grandparents. "Brighton" explores memory, performance, fiction and loss.

The Art of Forgetting

The Museum of Prophecy was filmed in Skagästron, Northern Iceland over the course of several months. The title is the same as the town’s only museum where our narrator, Dagný Marín, has faithfully operated for the last decade. MOP explores the mythical lore of a small town as it transitions into another season of eternal night. The history of this place and its past residence still inform the lived experiences of the few inhabitants it has left. Museum of Prophecy urges the viewer to know Skagästron as Icelanders, do even if the means trusting what you can't see in front of you. Original score by Chris Frankford.
