Goodbye, Snowball
Mohammad Rasel Ahmed
20:00
Sergei Kostin, a Washington, D.C. activist, navigates the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the political unrest following the murder of George Floyd. His days move between crowded street protests and the quiet intimacy of caring for his aging dog, Snoball. As the 2020 U.S. election pulls thousands into the capital, Sergei faces the more personal reckoning of saying goodbye to his beloved dog. Goodbye Snoball is a poetic meditation on love and loss in turbulent political times.

"It was kind of a surprising, surprising event..." Abel Berumen, an accomplished Mexican-American photographer, woke up blind one day as a result of a rare disease called Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum. This film, made seven years after the unexpected event, reflects on the paradox of his disability: how his loss of vision has enabled him to truly see.
