Other collective films and workshop productions

These films were made collectively by the students, workshop participants, and Niles Atallah, who taught the workshops and guided the creative process, actively collaborating with the participants to make the films together. They are presented here as works of collective authorship and records of the working process and collective spirit of those workshops.
