One part home video seance, one part 3D musical, Angel of Death 3D is an attempt, by way of Jackass and the spirit of Evel Knievel, to reflect on American adolescence and the pubescent body in the 21st century. (Note: this film can be viewed with anaglyph 3D glasses but such glasses are not required to view it.

RIDE OR DIE
Nadine E. Smith
Through reclaimed, remixed, and reinterpreted footage from the Fast & Furious franchise, this video piece explores the on and off-screen relationship between Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, who passed away in a car accident on November 30, 2013. Across six panels, we follow the two men and their fictional counterparts as they race and rescue one another over and over again on a last ride that, thanks to cinema, can extend into infinity. Vin sings a Rihanna ballad to his now fallen friend, who exists within movies but is no longer with us in reality.
