Dallas Medianale 2015 at the MAC Dallas, Tx

On Friday the thirteenth the Mckinney Avenue Contemporary in Dallas Tx hosted the Dallas Video Fest's new production The Dallas Medianele  which showcased installations and screenings by a variety of international film artists. the MAC is a venue that holds visual exhibitions as well as lectures and other things. The space was very welcoming and relaxed, first i watched a video installation in the black box featuring the work of Micah Stansell and his film The Water and the Blood , the film consists of  intense imagery and auditory details, it begins with the abstraction of the splashes of underwater swimming and follows the leisure of a teenage girl and her friends, it then moves on to a scene of two children running and playing, throughout the film there is intense sound that attracts you to the subjects, it tells a story without using much dialogue, except that each subject throughout the film has a part where they say a monologue of something everyday that they do in their lives, it revolves around the lives of a country farm family, and it ends with a monologue by the grandfather of the family and the very last scene shows all the family members coming out of water.
Even though this installation wasnt part of the main screening i found it very insightful, the cinematography was very beautiful and the colors flowed very well throughout the piece, as well as the sound it was a very important part of this, it gave way to better experience it,  the viewer could feel indulged in the images.
