anadromous
[ uh-NAD-ruh-muhs ]
adjective

Ari Grubbs (Tacoma, Wa.)
Ariel Ari Grubb is an interdisciplinary artist, animator, and director from Boston, Massachusetts. Identifying from a young age as a puppeteer, storyteller, and performer, Aris work ranges from stop motion animation, sculpture, illustration, film, and anything in between. While varying in scale, style, and medium, all of Aris work comes from the desire to tell stories, and whether through animated film, interactive sculpture, or playful illustration, Ari relies on charming characters and a fantastical color palette to lure in viewers, and rewards those that take the time to uncover the hidden narratives. Ari lives and works out of Tacoma, Washington.
We Will Learn To Give Ourselves New Names (4:25)
An examination of the politics of naming, belonging, and cartography. Maps blur and names shift as the filmmaker questions colonial logics of place and identity, asking: how do we rename ourselves in a world that has already named and claimed so much?
Emery Joan (Seattle,Wa.)
Objectionable Fruit (15:00)
Objectionable Fruit is an experimental documentary examining the Ginkgo treea living fossil celebrated for its resilience and unique capacity to change sexes, defying human-imposed binaries. Using the Ginkgo as a metaphor for fluidity and endurance, the film weaves together themes of gender identity, ecological interconnectedness, and the nuanced complexities of trans existence.
Hogan Seidel, Gabby Follett (Seattle, Wa.)
Touch.mov (5:08)
This film is my exploration in the idea of touching my own art. As a video artist, I find in modern times I have been stripped of the opportunity of actually touching my own art with my own hands. With this film, I play with 8mm and 16mm film, direct animation and video synthesis in an attempt to actually put my finger print in my product. Even the sound consists of drawings I put through a 16mm film projector. As an artist in times where AI controls a lot of the decisions we are made to have, I want to go back to the basics and make something real.
Deb Seitz (Portland, Or.)
Look back at me (8:00)
This film uses digital glitch and analog video processing tools to create visual and sonic altars for Black femme pleasure, play, revenge and possibility. look back at me utilizes and appropriates canonical pop culture film and media images of Black lesbians and queered femmes, featuring concert footage of Janet Jackson from her Velvet Rope tour, Chrystale Wilson as Ronnie in the 1998 film The Players Club and the inimitable Grace Jones, amongst others. look back at me lays in the messy interstices that inextricably link power, pleasure, violence and desire.
