Director Marc Pacheco - USA - 3 min. - EXP Music Video
In a crumbling city on the brink of annihilation, four renegade musicians—each wielding otherworldly powers—are awakened by fate to battle a seductive sorceress and her army of bone-clad minions. Their only weapon? The untamed force of rock ‘n’ roll.

Director David Stout - USA - 7 min. - EXP Non-Narrative / AI

Director Ellery Bryan -
USA - 16 min. - EXP Non-Narrative
A diaristic film that begins at the solar eclipse, and uses planetary movements and geological records as jumping-off points for exploring meaning-making, subjectivity and memory.

Directors Gordon Monahan, Bill Coleman - Canada - 15 min. - EXP Documentary
Using the cinematic language to explore the connection between logic and emotion, technology and the organic, Sound of Mind and Body presents a unique film experience. Mind-controlled software harnesses a performer's brainwaves to sculpt sound, light, kinetic actions, and musical composition while they move and dance. The film captures a unique brainwave-influenced improvisation, where neural impulses trigger chance-based algorithms, which then determine patterns and combinations of sounds, musical notes, and light pulsations.

Director Leah Doz - Canada - 7 min. - EXP Narrative
One man explores and defies the definitions of Blackness, queerness, and masculinity in a kinetic self-portrait.
