Short films by Dorothea Braemer and Paulette Moore, with filmmakers in person:

• The Spirit of Standing Rock (2016), with Director Paulette Moore
  This documentary is a collection of soulful narratives from Standing Rock Water Protectors articulating what they believe are the defining world views, actions, and stories of our day.
• Searching for Paradise (2013), with Director Dorothea Braemer
  This documentary is about three pioneering art initiatives in rural Brandenburg, Germany. Sometimes named “space pioneers” for their innovative use of neglected land, the people who are part of these initiatives are, the film argues, important catalysts for cultural innovation and social change.
