Seven video pieces from around the world. The two that I watched all the way through were Hans Op de Beeck's "Parade" (2012, about 12 mins) and Julian Rosefeldt's "My home is a dark and cloud-hung land" (2011, about 30 mins); the first, as its name suggests, a parade of various types of people moving slowly across the stage of an opulent theatre, accompanied by a piano and horns soundtrack that reminded me of the music from Beasts of the Southern Wild, and the second a four-screen installation revolving around the German forest and surprisingly compelling with it. And there was one other longer one that I'll try to go back for another time.
