Dreams and Reflections:
Films for the Present Moment

My film students this year face a unique and intimidating challenge: to create meaningful cinematic work within the confines of a COVID-dominated world. Making art using the medium of moving images is a steep challenge at the best of times, but generating new ideas and executing them safely while masks, social distancing, and stay at home mandates are facts of life are exceptionally daunting tasks for budding film artists.

This selection of work by Upper School film students, divided into four complementary sections, demonstrates that against all odds, these young auteurs refuse to let their creativity lie dormant.
