"3:45" by Alisha Liu
CalArts animation student Alisha Liu created a gentle, optimistic short film called "3:45." I will say that I do what the young character in this film does, but instead of seeing one side or the other, I usually see both...at the same time...macro and micro...welcome to my head...

Wading Through Time
“The years teach what the days never know.”
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
“There comes a time when we realize that our parents cannot save themselves or save us, that everyone who wades through time eventually gets dragged out to sea by the undertow- that, in short, we are all going.”
--John Green, in his book LOOKING FOR ALASKA
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

In The Mirror, In The Mind
“We always feel younger than we are. I carry inside myself my earlier faces, as a tree contains its rings. The sum of them is me. The mirror sees only my latest face, while I know all my previous ones.”
--Tomas Tranströmer, Swedish poet

I Still Know
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”

HUMAN POSTCARDS
HUMAN POSTCARDS
A video project of one minute portraits of humans by filmmaker Nora Jaccaud and sound engineer Arie Van Der Poel.
Iñaki was asked to identify the most beautiful thing that has happened to him in his life.
Boris had a change of career.
Emma works in a shop.
Kim cares for Kiwis.
Blair is creative.
"Every person we meet, observe on the street, in a shop, behind a counter, and even the ones we don’t see, like the cherry picker behind the fruit or the dairy farmer behind our milk, have thoughts worth hearing, worlds worth seeing. We believe we have a lot to learn from them. Maybe you too ?"
