HEALING
Dir: Hart Ginsburg • Chicago • 9mins • Experimental
Synopsis:
As vaccines became more accessible, we worked on our first film in over a year with an actor, a grateful surprise that we couldn’t have expected. Healing explores through montage and narrative internal feelings of emptiness and disconnection. Particularly, during the isolating times of the pandemic, where healthcare systems and technological innovations added paradoxical complexities of connections and disconnection. Additionally, as a therapist I have often wondered where the line is between the therapist and the patient or client? We hope that Healing can be a space for the viewer to discover their own possibilities of healing.
