KNME-TV (Television station : Albuquerque, N.M.) · 2017

Hollywood screenwriter Matthew McDuffie interviews founder and director of Experiments in Cinema Bryan Konefsky. [Matthew] “What makes a film experimental?” [Bryan] “I think, at the heart of experimental film is a profound sense of curiosity. Think about a scientist who has a hypothesis, and what might happen 'If,' and an artist who experiments with cinematic form, does some of the same, what might happen 'if.'” Santa Clara artist and educator Porter Swentzell and Isleta artist Daryl Lucero discuss how artmaking can bring ecological awareness. “One of the things that’s really important to me in traditional arts is reestablishing that relationship with where the materials you need to make what you need to make, come from.” Organized by Max Baptiste, using lots of paint and fun, “We Are This City” uses the creative experience to bring Albuquerque’s community together. “Fun, what I found, breaks down boundaries. When you’re having fun with someone you’re not thinking about your differences.”
