In this travelogue, Forgács documents the Jewish exodus from Slovakia just before the beginning of World War II. In two boats, a group of nine hundred Slovak, Austrian Jews tried to reach the Black Sea via the river Danube, in order to get to Palestine from there.

Sarita Colonia was a humble girl from the Peruvian Andes who dedicated much of her life to the poor of Lima and sacrificed herself for them. She died in 1940 at the age of 24. Over time, her tomb became a place of veneration and pilgrimage because of the miracles she began to perform for the most needy. This documentary not only narrates Sarita's life as told by her siblings, but also explores the cult of this unrecognized saint through the migratory process in which she was involved. Her suffering, deprivation, and attempts to survive in the capital make Sarita a reflection of the lives of thousands of migrants who venerate her today.

The Times. 1998.‘Or different voices, still lives: Todd’s short is a poeticrather melancholy meditation on memory and the difficulty of expressing love, which counterpoints evocative images of London with a familial litany of questions and confessions.

This is a portrait of my wife, the artist Katy Martin in her studio painting directly on her own body while imagining a wild animal. While not centered on the theme of family disease like the other four videos, this piece does also explore the body as a site of beauty and abjection.
This double portrait cinematically projects my sister's wound onto my own body and psyche. Shortly after she received a living donor kidney from a friend, I filmed the scar that resulted from removing both her damaged organs. This video projects that image of her two-week-old scar onto my own body, visualizing my complex feelings of knowing I have been spared the gene that caused her disease. In the video, I find, on my own body, the scars I imagine we share.
