HEX: Begin Again

The story of a young idealistic teacher and his struggle with a class of difficult students in a northern British Columbia school.

Black and white filming of the song "Das verlassene Mägdlein" by Hugo Wolf to lyrics by Eduard Mörike.

In the trio of video installations comprising THREE SONGS, Laura Taler braids singing, gesture and the language of filmmaking in an immersive, non-narrative approach to storytelling. THREE SONGS is rooted in Taler’s personal history of leaving Romania as a child and eventually settling in Canada. It explores such themes as familial ties, loss and displacement, and experiences of duality—of being caught between places— that are familiar to those creating new lives in different countries.
