Ep44 Elizabeth Lo

"When I've experienced films that are transformative I feel like it makes me able to understand the world better." - Elizabeth Lo As a young person growing up in Hong Kong Elizabeth Lo was always captivated by film. The ability to take one on a journey through the expansion of their own understanding of the world around them is a gift. Lo remembered this lesson as she embarked on her educational career through film school in the United States. She has embraced such a gift and has been making it her own through short films that have explored multiple facets of the human condition. Lo has shifted her attention to man's most trusted companion for her first full-length feature documentary. Stray is perhaps the most intimate portrait of the life of dogs that we have seen yet. It is the story of street dogs in Istanbul, Turkey, and how they live freer than canines most anywhere else in the world. Turkey has adopted a no-capture, no-kill policy with street dogs (and cats) as they are taken care of by the residents of each community. The animals live freely among humans, fed by the residents in the communities in which they live, and are even given veterinary care paid for by the government. They are well acclimated to people and are not only not aggressive as a rule, but are friendly and will welcome a pat on the head or scratch behind the ear. With minimal dialogue and a soundtrack by acclaimed composer Ali Helnwein, Stray does a commanding job of capturing the life of these dogs as they go about their business, free to follow whatever whim fits their fancy. Made even more engaging, the movie is also filmed mostly from a dog's point of view and even the audio frequencies were raised to a level more attuned to what a dog would hear. I implore everyone to watch this incredible film. We can all take a page from Turkey and its treatment of street animals. If you are ever in doubt of whether dogs can live freely among humans your answers will be found in the movie Stray. images from Elizabeth Lo - used with permission stray movie website elizabeth lo instagram stray soundtrack by ali helnwein ali helnwein website Subscribe: iTunes | Android | Spotify | Email | RSS   MORE ART UNKNOWN PODCASTS.fusion-portfolio-wrapper#fusion-portfolio-26 .fusion-portfolio-content{ padding: 25px 25px 25px 25px; text-align: center; }.fusion-portfolio-26 .fusion-portfolio-wrapper .fusion-col-spacing{padding:20px;}Jim Wills2026-06-11T11:34:16-06:00 Ep97 Jennifer Sklias-Gahan Ep97 Jennifer Sklias-GahanJim Wills2026-06-02T10:50:10-06:00 Ep96 Jodi Krangle Ep96 Jodi KrangleJim Wills2026-05-13T10:56:33-06:00 Ep95 Kenneith Perrin Ep95 Kenneith PerrinJim Wills2026-05-01T01:16:54-06:00 Ep94 Joan Barbero Ep94 Joan BarberoJim Wills2026-04-30T12:00:48-06:00 Ep93 Cliff Beach Ep93 Cliff BeachJim Wills2026-04-12T04:19:08-06:00 Ep92 Kneet Ep92 KneetCrave Magazine2026-03-25T11:28:26-06:00 Ep91 Lora Arbrador Ep91 Lora ArbradorCrave Magazine2026-03-18T07:15:26-06:00 Ep90 Rupali Kumbhani Ep90 Rupali KumbhaniCrave Magazine2026-03-18T07:04:33-06:00 Ep89 Regina Linke Ep89 Regina LinkeCrave Magazine2026-03-09T10:02:35-06:00 Ep88 Alec Harrison Ep88 Alec HarrisonCrave Magazine2026-03-09T09:58:09-06:00 Ep87 Lee Isaacs Ep87 Lee IsaacsCrave Magazine2026-02-05T22:26:18-07:00 Ep86 Evgenia Selina & Ilya Lapich Ep86 Evgenia Selina & Ilya LapichCrave Magazine2026-01-27T03:25:43-07:00 Ep85 Chris Orcutt Ep85 Chris OrcuttCrave Magazine2026-01-05T03:43:42-07:00 Ep84 Don Rodriguez Ep84 Don RodriguezCrave Magazine2026-01-02T07:47:38-07:00 Ep83 Franky Corcoran Ep83 Franky CorcoranCrave Magazine2025-12-18T08:47:06-07:00 Ep82 Maba Ba Ep82 Maba BaCrave Magazine2025-12-11T21:55:21-07:00 Ep81 Wednesdae Reim Ifrach Ep81 Wednesdae Reim IfrachCrave Magazine2025-12-12T04:30:18-07:00 Ep80 Dawn Farrow Ep80 Dawn FarrowCrave Magazine2025-12-12T05:39:48-07:00 Ep79 Richard Moon Ep79 Richard MoonCrave Magazine2025-12-12T05:47:26-07:00 Ep78 Kirk Voclain Ep78 Kirk VoclainCrave Magazine2025-12-15T04:17:17-07:00 Ep77 Stan Lai Ep77 Stan LaiCrave Magazine2025-12-15T04:19:24-07:00 Ep76 Dennis Welch Ep76 Dennis WelchCrave Magazine2025-12-15T07:25:35-07:00 Ep75 Jim Wills – part 3 Ep75 Jim Wills – part 3Crave Magazine2025-12-15T07:26:05-07:00 Ep74 Cameron Smith Ep74 Cameron SmithCrave Magazine2025-12-15T07:27:19-07:00 Ep73 Siquoyia Blue Ep73 Siquoyia BlueJim Wills2025-12-15T07:50:38-07:00 Ep72 Clementine Moss Ep72 Clementine MossJim Wills2025-12-15T07:51:34-07:00 Ep71 Rob Murat & Maya Elizabeth Ep71 Rob Murat & Maya ElizabethCrave Magazine2025-12-15T07:53:29-07:00 Ep70 Meg Raiano Ep70 Meg RaianoCrave Magazine2025-11-21T06:25:41-07:00 Ep69 Kat Sparks Ep69 Kat SparksCrave Magazine2025-11-21T06:28:00-07:00 Ep68 Christopher Quigley Ep68 Christopher QuigleyCrave Magazine2025-11-21T06:31:29-07:00 Ep67 Shanti Hershenson Ep67 Shanti HershensonCrave Magazine2025-11-21T07:53:07-07:00 Ep66 Alan Katz Part 2 Ep66 Alan Katz Part 2Crave Magazine2025-11-21T07:56:04-07:00 Ep65 Alan Katz Part 1 Ep65 Alan Katz Part 1Crave Magazine2025-11-21T08:00:58-07:00 Ep64 Hersh Gutwilik Ep64 Hersh GutwilikCrave Magazine2025-11-21T08:02:08-07:00 Ep63 Teri M Brown Ep63 Teri M BrownCrave Magazine2025-11-21T08:06:51-07:00 Ep62 DJ Windy M Ep62 DJ Windy MCrave Magazine2025-11-21T08:11:06-07:00 Ep61 Ant Boogie Ep61 Ant BoogieCrave Magazine2025-11-23T03:53:34-07:00 Ep60 Isabel Hülya Ergül Ep60 Isabel Hülya ErgülCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:00:15-06:00 Ep59 Afro Preachah Ep59 Afro PreachahCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:02:39-06:00 Ep58 Sofia Zolezzi Ep58 Sofia ZolezziCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:04:27-06:00 Ep57 Janet Dossigny Ep57 Janet DossignyCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:07:05-06:00 Ep56 Laura Viola Preciado Ep56 Laura Viola PreciadoCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:18:57-06:00 Ep55 Suzanne Frazier Ep55 Suzanne FrazierCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:20:21-06:00 Ep54 John Bacon Ep54 John BaconCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:23:04-06:00 Ep53 Heidi Luerra Ep53 Heidi LuerraCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:25:42-06:00 Ep52 Murat Germen Ep52 Murat GermenCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:35:44-06:00 Ep51 Monalicious Ep51 MonaliciousCrave Magazine2025-09-29T08:37:09-06:00 Ep50 Jim Wills – part 2 Ep50 Jim Wills – part 2Crave Magazine2025-09-29T08:45:05-06:00 ...
