HOUNDS

Director  Omer Tobi
Israel
Runtime   30:00
Completion Date: April 5, 2016

For sixteen years Iris Kadosh has been the keeper of the museum’s exhibits, with much dedication and no complaints. One day she arrives to work to find out that the museum’s operational manager has left and she will be taking her place. The good news is tainted by Iris’ involvement in an accident, one that causes the museum to shut down and brings about an investigation. Iris must work her way through the ever growing anxiety she feels and the colorful and crude ensemble of workers that hover around her. She must face dark questions on ethics, good vs. bad, and decide how far she will go in order to keep the great position she was offered just that morning. The tragic and amusing dynamics between the museum’s employees creates an opera of marginal and rejected characters searching for any shred of respect from the world.

Being Seen

“Being Seen” will change the way you see people with developmental disabilities. A combination of funny, acerbic, and heart-wrenching, these people’s candid and articulate self-awareness quickly shatter preconceptions of the disabled.
“Being Seen” explores the poorly understood subculture of people living with "developmental disabilities." Bay Area filmmakers, Paul Zehrer and Chikara Motomura, spent over three years following individuals with developmental disabilities throughout the Bay Area, exploring how this population thinks about themselves and the world. Rather than being defined by others or their diagnosis, individuals (young and old) strive to create meaningful lives, meet adversity, and dream of their futures. Their candid and articulate self-awareness quickly shatter preconceptions and leave viewers with existential questions about continuum of cognitive functioning we accept as “neuro-typical” or “normal.”
