Invocation of the Memory of Mary Turner, lynched on May 19, 1918

A stasis work invoking the memory of the lynching of Mary Turner, a young, pregnant African American woman in South Georgia. Publicly demanding justice after the murder of her husband, Turner was kidnapped by a mob, hung up in a tree, set on fire, her child cut out and killed, and shot hundreds of times before being buried on-site in 1918. Returning to the origins of cinema, filmed on the exact date and time of Turner’s lynching 105-years earlier, # 3 uses form, time, light, shadow, and landscape as metaphor to not only invoke the memory of Mary Turner, but to also ponder perspective relating to racial violence, violence against women, our failure to acknowledge our past, and the racial divide that continues to exist today in the schizophrenia of America life.

L'art d'aimer mourir

Palette of Her

With closed eyes, a woman stands in serene stillness, her skin becoming a canvas where neutral pigments intertwine. She dances and reclines, embracing vulnerability as she finally opens her eyes and confronts the cruel world within her soul.

The Dark Galleries

A fascinating hall of mirrors through a montage of film noir scenes where the actors face a painted portrait. This perfect blend of cinema and painting was commissioned to supplement a book study. Provost exploits the rules of editing to create an imaginary museum visit. He guides us through living rooms and picture galleries of 1940s and 1950s noir crime thrillers, gothic melodramas, and ghost stories.

Yom Rishona

"Yom Rishona" follows a young woman's chaotic journey to self discovery as she commemorates the day she made crucial realizations in terms of queer and Jewish identity.

Rebecca

A poem told through Rebecca, the American Girl Doll.

Niches

Whether it be doing yoga with ants, printing with plants, or considering the travels of an apple: not all teachers are human in a bustling Spanish farmhouse. While instances of interspecies care are enacted beneath the cool stone arches of this rambling structure, the ecological niches (or roles) of various beings shift along with their unexpected environmental relationships. In a heavily altered landscape composed of serrated mountains and meticulously-maintained olive groves, human intervention is readily apparent; however, sometimes trees bear knowledge in addition to green fruits, and humans shape and are shaped by their environment in equal measure.

Original Short Film

On a quest to produce a genuinely original short film, our filmmakers encounter novel artificial intelligence. What will you see? The world's first narrative short produced using generative AI - each frame has been rendered by artificial intelligence, an interesting collision with reality.

Chamber

"The film's title takes into account meanings and implication of the word 'chamber', as well as of the heart, intimate music, darkness, room, camera, prison, gun part...both empty and loaded. CHAMBER provided my conversion from painter to filmmaker." -JB
