CRIP TIME
Year: 2018
Country: United States
Type: Short
Form: Experimental
Lazard methodically replenishes her pill boxes one by one, each movement measuring time passing - including that of the sun moving across the table. Crip time - the way time bends and warps to meet disabled bodies - is illustrated eloquently in this notable piece of slow cinema.

Image description: A set of hands sort seven pillbox compartments on an embroidered tablecloth. The image is taken from an overhead position with the hands partially obstructing the view of the differently colored compartments. The compartments are yellow, blue, pink, green, and white. They are filled with differently colored pills too. There is a patch of bright sunlight on the tablecloth and there are a few pill bottles barely visible along the edge of the frame. Bright orange pills are held in the palm of one hand.
