Shrine13 – USA

Shrine13 is a production house and creative association dedicated to documentary and experimental film & video, experimental music, live performance, film photography, and book publication. From the unceded lands of the Cowlitz and Clackamas native tribes in the Pacific Northwest of the United Snakes, they collaborate with artists from around the world. Their collaborators become members of a rich web of creators who support one another's work across borders from South and Central America, to North America, Europe and the Middle East. Their short and feature length films address topics of cross cultural identity, crisis of identity, leaving, and rebuilding a new world within the shell of the old. Through their work, they seek to articulate visions of liberation within our lifetime.
