TV/SELF/TRAIN, dir. Valia O'Donnell, USA (WISCONSIN FILM)

TV A brief look at modern life through television.

SELF Worlds unfold within worlds following a personal logic; the fluid transformations seek to expound on the internal landscape of the psyche.

TRAIN This piece presents a surreal interpretation of Chicago's Green Line. The train is a singular place, however, it is also a daily convergence of thousands of lives with diverse histories, each distorting reality in their own way, and interacting and overlapping with other's experience of the place.
