Asynchronous (Film) Truth (Film) Film: Non-student Made
Trine Times: Shijian, Shigan, Jikan
Three language learners at various stages of their stories collide in a montage which celebrates the first steps in the lifelong journey that is learning a second language.
This film was created remotely by 3 teachers living in China, South Korea, and Japan for the Liquid Arts 72-hour Film Festival. They were given a prop (a clock) and one line of dialogue ("the longest stories begin with a single breath") which they were required to include, and then had only 72 hours to write, shoot, edit, and submit the film. This is the final result of their effort! **FILMS may be viewed on Youtube ("About the Conference" drop down menu) or in the Watch Parties: Thursday 8pm-9pm or Sunday 10am-12pm or 2pm-6:30pm!**
