Transmission: Message and Metamorphosis

The Culture Crawl’s 10th annual film and video series.

“How meanings change/change us”

In an age where communication has become inseparable from the tools that enable it, the mode of transmission has become inextricably linked to the mediums through which we receive messages. These conversations transform the ways we perceive the world, challenge our preconceptions, and inspire personal and societal change. This year’s selections connect one with the other: the subconscious with conscious, water with grief, and folklore to modern storytelling. Stairways that pull you backwards (and forwards) across borders, intersect artistic conversations, and reinterpret modern phrases. We speak to the animals and recognize them within ourselves. The message is the medium and the medium is us.
