Join us at The Peale for a Film Screening: Light, Memory, and Imagines Futures. Part of Spark VII: Industrial Afterglow

225 Holliday St

Join us at The Peale for Spark VII Film Screening: Light, Memory, and Imagined Futures.How do moving images help us make sense of collapse, tranformation, and the possible futures that flicker just beyond reach? This special screening event brings together short films and experimental animations by artists features in Industrial Afterglow - each exploring light, decay, and ecological or emotional afterlives through a cinematic lens. Featured Artists &amp; Works:<ul><li>Alexi Scheiber — Awake/Dreaming A lush, hand-drawn animation imagining a future where cities are rewilded, softened by time, moss, and speculative care. Urban structures dissolve into ecosystems in this slow, dreamlike meditation on ecological transformation.</li><li>Tara Youngborg — not a town but a landing page A layered audiovisual work that maps the sonic and visual traces of post-industrial landscapes. Blending field recordings with glitch aesthetics, Youngborg’s piece captures the haunted hum of infrastructure in decay.</li><li>Jena Burchick — what it felt like A deeply personal video work that translates the experience of giving birth under technological and clinical surveillance into sensory abstraction. Through voice, scan, and visual distortion, Burchick reclaims the narrative of reproductive control.</li><li>Alexandra Garove — Transition System A digital animation composed entirely through high-resolution flatbed scans, imagining the architectural ruins of today overtaken by speculative plant life. Garove’s digital dreamscapes blur the line between decay and resurgence.</li></ul>This screening will be followed by a brief conversation with the artists (in person and remote), offering insight into their process, how they work with light and time as narrative devces, and what it means to film not for documentation - but for transformation.
