IMAGINING NOW is a program of experimental films that showcase a range of contemporary uses of low and high fidelity video, and film for dramatic and sensual affect. A collection of light studies, relational investigations and very loose narratives, these films posit investigations on the here and now and represent a new generation working on the periphery of filmmaking. Imagining Now is programmed by Aimee Friberg; total running time is 70 minutes.
