Opening with two films on familial displacement and solitary inward questing, CROSSROADS 2023 concludes with notes of belief—works of visual and poetic philosophy considering repetition, change, velocity, perpetual motion, desiccated leisure and displaced labor. Time, formed from stars, acretes, flows, freezes, even stagnates and festers at the horizons of the oscillating universe.
