Come watch a selection of short films revealing the elasticity of the human face as well as some of its mystery! Focusing on facial features shaped over minutes or decades, these short animations and documentaries highlight the incredible arc of human emotions as shown on our faces, from the meditative, the mysterious, to the stretch of pleasure or disgust. Do you see tenderness, sadness, or disdain?
