The Language of Healing
- Short Film Programs
- 54 mins
Language serves as an imperfect bridge between our innermost emotions and the outside world. How can we communicate our pain, loss, passion, or rage? This double feature focuses on individuals experiencing loss and their attempts to fill the void to allow for healing. These shorts explore the surprising, creative, and secret ways that “language” in its many forms can be used to display the tenacity of the human spirit.
Program curated by Ryan Kuang and Chetana R. Narasimha Jois
