"collage25" is an audiovisual intervention, in the form of divertimento, based on the film in the public domain "Carnival of Souls" by Herk Harvey (1962) that is part of a large experimental audiovisual research project that tries to explore, from the point of view of artistic-expressive activities, formal, structural, narrative and aesthetic issues. For this we intervene and construct variations, spatial and temporal of mythical scenes of the cinema that have passed through public domain. We modify its previous meanings, amplifying or varying its narrative value and its audiovisual aspect, tries to transfer, with moving images, expressive and emotional concepts to the screen. Repetitions reinforce the formal, narrative and structural aspects. Altering any resemblance to reality.

I Am A Traister: The Sarah Moskovitz Story

I Am A Traister: The Sarah Moskovitz Story is an animated film made by teens that tells the story of an unsung hero now in her 90s. In 1980s Los Angeles, Sarah Traister Moskovitz and her colleague Flo Kinsler founded the first Child Survivors of the Holocaust therapy and support group which went on to be a worldwide phenomenon. For the first time this generation of child survivors, then in their 40s and 50s, could name their experience, find community and begin to heal. Now in their 80s and 90s, these survivors consider themselves to be "phantom siblings" with Sarah as their "mother." The film was created by teens who worked with an artist mentor over Zoom, using their phones as cameras and cardboard boxes as animation stands. It is a production of The Righteous Conversations Project, a collaboration of Holocaust survivors and teens, based in Los Angeles and now in its tenth year.
