Remarkable photos and video diary of the boundless, desolate yet beautiful salt flats in South Australia. Accompanied by shorts: “A Healing Art,” “Danny and Annie, Part I” and “Danny and Annie, Part II.”
In his search for "somewhere I could point my camera into pure
space," award-winning photographer Murray Fredericks began making
annual solo camping trips to remote Lake Eyre and its salt flats in
South Australia. These trips have yielded remarkable photos of a
boundless, desolate yet beautiful environment where sky, water and
land merge. Made in collaboration with documentary filmmaker
Michael Angus, "SALT" is the film extension of Fredericks' work at
Lake Eyre, interweaving his photos and video diary with time-lapse
sequences to offer viewers the liberating and disorienting
experience of being thrown into an infinite dimension of mind and
spirit.
A selection of shorts: "A Healing Art," "Danny and Annie, Part
I" and "Danny and Annie, Part II."
Nothing can make up for the loss of an eye, but as shown in
Ellen Frick's "A Healing Art," artificial eye makers Christy
Erickson and Todd Cranmore combine artistry, skill and compassion
to rekindle hope for their patients and families. In addition, the
award-winning StoryCorps team brings documentary animations
celebrating the best and most powerful stories that have emerged
from the StoryCorps archive. Animated by Mike and Tim Rauch and
using original StoryCorps audio recordings, these short films
capture the intimate and emotionally resonant conversations that
have become renowned as NPR's quintessential "driveway
moments."
"Danny and Annie, Part I"
Brooklyn natives Danny and Annie Perasa reminisce about their
27-year love affair. When Danny talks about his love for Annie,
it's obvious that he is one of the world's great romantics.
"Danny and Annie, Part II"
After nearly three decades of marriage, fatal illness dashed Danny
and Annie's hopes for a long life together. In an intimate and
heartbreaking glimpse into a marriage, this animated short observes
true love as it braves the finality of loss.
