Sometimes when Og goes shopping, he buys several very different things. They are not even close to being the same, and none of the things are better than the other – they are just different. And that’s what Og is introducing to you today – two very different new videos that we’ve recently added to our programming.
The short experimental documentary, It’s the Bronx, incorporates original music, animation, old photographs and oral history to tell the story of the Schornstein family, who immigrated to the United States shortly before the turn of the 20th century. The historic and biographical photos of the time, location and family members help document and define the generations who grew up in the Bronx. For more info, you can check out Gabrielle Sloane's website at Kashani Arts.
Our other newly added program is titled Family Survival Kit, and it takes a conspicuously tongue-in-check look at defense mechanisms that some relatives might need to employ during stressful family gatherings. I’m sure that there are many of us out there who can add a few of our own…..hmmm…Og can think of a few right now!
