Room 3
What do we do when 'one of us' transgresses profoundly? A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff is a mystical-musical indie feature about the intersection of finance and spirituality which asks this question through synchronised swimmers, music videos, sacred texts, an imagined excommunication ritual, and more. Slated for a 2021 release; join for a sneak peek!
Room 5
There used to be a story in the Bible in which Abraham killed his son Isaac. It is not there anymore. Neither are many other stories that were once told. In the Original Bible, Jacob was the first Patriarch, The Israelites were not slaves in Egypt. There were only seven commandments, no other laws, and Moses made it to the promised land instead of dying in the desert. Today I will introduce you to the Original Bible.
