Bridge Kids

In the near future there are no adults, a tree house becomes a door to another dimension, and rocks release intuitive powers. Documentary, historiography and mythology collide and transform in a 16mm film showing a world of telepathic children interpreting technologies. A meditation and absurd collage of media, sci-fi cliché, and performance, “Bridge Kids” connects a research documentary on J.B Rhine and the history of ESP/ Parapsychology, with a science fiction drama portraying an adolescent’s connection with the dead.
