Someone to Watch Over

In person: director Melanie Levy

This six-film compilation explores the ways we get by with a little help from others. The Space You Leave (dir. James Newton; 10 min.): A heartbreaking look at the parents of missing children. Loop Loop (dir. Patrick Bergeron; 5 min.): A colorful layering of images that delivers glimpses of life in Vietnam like a slot machine before our eyes. The Dwelling (dir. Sheldon Candis; 16 min.): On the banks of a Japanese river, engineering men have built makeshift homes. My Name Is Sydney (dir. Melanie Levy; 17 min.): Sixteen-year old Sydney is articulate in ways she can never express — a complex woman inside a severely autistic body. Goldthwait Home Movies (dir. Bobcat Goldthwait; 8 min.): Bobcat and his siblings offer commentary on the making of these family moments. Arsy Versy (dir. Miro Remo; 24 min.): Lubo watches over the bats, while his mother watches over him. (KC)
