For over 15 years the Philadelphia Independent Film Video Association has supported the completion of independent films through the PIFVA Subsidy Grant program. This evening showcases a varied collection of well crafted and original short narratives and documentary works-in-progress made by recent PIFVA Subsidy Grant recipients.

Nhieu Do’s Cry River (2007, 19 1/2 mins) was shot on 16mm and then completed on video. It is a visually stunning short full of Tarkovskian inspired landscapes through which a young man on a vision quest ventures. Click here to see a clip.

Byron Karabastsos’ Still Birth Chicken (2007, 12 min) in which a starving artist tries to not eat the subject of his still life.

Ted Passon will share 3 documentary works-in-progress -- Space 1026: Doing It Yourself with Other People (2008, 20 mins, pictured above) about the collective art making experiment, exhibition and creation space housed since 1997 at 1026 Arch Street, A People United (2008, 7 min) which takes a broader look at the Mumia debate and One Day In Paris (2007, 8 min) about a missed opportunity on love in the City of Lights.
