Sun May 27 | 4:30 pm | VIFC
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed or inconsequential with the bombardment of visual and verbal messages we receive on a daily basis. Yet, these same signals and noises are often what keep us connected to one another. This collection of stylish and award-winning films explores the conflicts between the private and public, between being intimate yet distant, and between progress and nostalgia in this ubiquitous information age.

Talk to Me
Director: Mark Craig, UK, 2006, 23 minutes
In the 80’s, long before email and texting, answering machines were the cornerstone of personal messaging. Filmmaker Mark Craig interweaves more than 100 telephone messages to a continuous montage of the callers’ photos, capturing the essence of life for himself, his family and his friends as it unfolded over two decades.

Hattenhorst
Director: Ove Sander, Germany, 2005, 5 minutes

Accompanied by static, black and white images, a crotchety old projectionist
contemplates whether cinema pictures have any meaning for him.
The Intimacy of Strangers
Director: Eva Weber, UK, 2005, 20 minutes
You used to have to make an effort to overhear other people’s conversations.
Now you have to make an effort not to. The Intimacy of Strangers is a story of life, love, loss and hope – entirely constructed out of real, overheard mobile phone conversations of random strangers.
Program Length: 64 minutes
