The films
What better way to learn from history than to sit down and converse with it? Filmmaker Davina Pardo follows an incredible subject—Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss, who decided in 1986 to speak out about her experiences to allow others to learn from her past. Now, she participates in an interactive hologram project, preserving her stories and image for conversations with future generations. Surrounded by a twinkling constellation of cameras in what she calls “the cage,” Eva relives difficult stories from the camps while demonstrating her aptitude for healing and rebirth.
In this stylish short, a hand-poke tattoo artist in Brooklyn reflects on her unique style and approach to inking. As she sees it, her work is essentially a “meticulously placed wound,” one that will wear and age with the recipient for many years to come. Eschewing machines for her painstaking process, prick by prick she emblazons signature figures on limbs and torsos—her latest undertaking is a full back. Working with a variety of clients, she describes the gravity involved. These are not mere brief exchanges, but personal expressions by an artist who values her work, accepts the pressure of knowing it will be with her client forever, and relishes the idea that it is walking around on display for the world to see.
Each day, Miss Doris leaves her house and walks next door to run her post office. As evening falls, she walks upstairs to run her roller-skating rink. Here, she leads games, easily skating among her customers, as she’s been doing for over 50 years. Organized rows of skates line the walls, a record player bellows classic pop hits, and Miss Doris gets on the microphone to lead a round of dance skate elimination. One is immediately at home in this rink tucked into a quaint town on Topsail Island, N.C. As Miss Doris begins sharing personal stories, the images alternate between the magnificent sunsets and storms of the coastal town and lovingly lit scenes of the rink. Mixing in interviews with Miss Doris’s admirers, filmmaker Nicole Triche creates a beautiful sense of place and character, centered on the timeless thrill of circling the rink on roller skates.

Are these films for adults or children as well?
