Low-Resolution Stories
THE VANISHING WOMAN by Ofri Cnaani
Ofri Cnaani will use one of her DIY moviemakers to create a series of real-time movies. ‘Vanishing Woman’ deals with magic, trickery, the dawn of cinema and the archives of the Israeli Kibbutz movement.

THE CRUELTY OF PIRATES by Jenny Vogel
“The Cruelty of Pirates” is a story of low-resolution encounter that offers an intimate reading of contemporary loneliness. Live-streaming video projections in the stutter-step language of webcameras result in a display of light signals that suggest an unknown code, some unknown message. The story is old: a man and a woman and the innate desire for love.

INVITATION TO A DUEL by Jenny Vogel
Drawing from the archive of her grandfather’s tape recordings Jenny Vogel creates a DIY opera that weaves together her family’s history and fiction to tell a story of tragedy and loss.
