Currents Program 1: Below the Surface

Film at Lincoln Center

This shorts program delves into themes of isolation, displacement, memory, and desire through a collection of diverse cinematic voices. From a poignant exploration of exilic life in former East Berlin to a vibrant reanimation of disco legend Sylvester's eulogy, each film offers a distinct and intimate perspective. The program features compelling narratives, including a reflection on loss in wintry Montreal, an archival excavation of Korean War adoption, and a visually rich tale of illicit desire in post-revolutionary Iran.
