Curatorial Statement
Dying.films is an engaging visual experience displaying the moving works of filmmakers on the topic of life and death. These 8 short films tackle difficult and often undiscussed themes such as the relationships of estranged family members at end of life, what a “good death” is, day-to-day anxiety and the integral grief that we all have. This grouping of works provides access to stories we can all relate to. The short film screenings will provide an opportunity to open conversation about familial, cultural, religious and self views surrounding death and grief.
