Bookmarks of Discomfort: A timely transdisciplinary collective program that is grounded in reality yet transcends to unify. In recent years discomfort, unfamiliarity, unprecedented events have become our new normal and changed, shook, transformed our lives as we never imagined was possible. The heart of this show is rooted within that deep sense of discomfort, the pleasure and pain to address issues, crises that challenge us, motivate us, move us to grow, understand, empathize, and ultimately heal and bring us together.
The first annual Wide Open Experimental Film Festival will be taking place at Rodeo Cinema on Film Row (701 W Sheridan Ave) in Oklahoma City, OK April 9 + 10.

The Kodama Film Festival was conceived as a means of emulating a sense of earthly reverberation, by finding creative voices that would meaningfully reflect the wonder of the natural world onto contemporary society.
The brief for submissions is as broad as nature is vast; to present short, feature films or photography that explore the physical and spiritual landscapes of the planet; to connect the rhymes and rhythms of the people with the land; and to generate a sense of communal reflection upon humanity’s often tumultuous relationship with its various habitats.
"Al insistir en dar forma a las imágenes sería necesario partir de la relación entre éstas y el tiempo. Sin éste no hay insistencia posible. La repetición y la búsqueda necesitan de un tiempo desde el que poder expandirse.[...] entonces, la vida de las imágenes, no consistiría tanto en la sencilla inmovilidad ni en la sucesiva recuperación del movimiento, sino en una pausa cargada de tensiones entre ambas."
Comisariado por Biviana Chauchi , Nicole Remy y Sofía Tudela.
