 ee his bio below.\n\n \n\nBio\n\nAdam Sekuler is a filmmaker\, curator\, ed
 ucator and editor. Screening in forums and film festivals throughout the US
  and internationally\, his many alternative films strike a delicate balance
  between stylization and naturalism\, creating a poetic and lyrical form of
  visual storytelling.  His feature length documentary Tomorrow Never Knows 
 won the Radical Empathy Jury Award at the Chicago Underground Film Festival
  where his film 36 Hours also won the Carolee Schneemann Award. \n\nHe's pr
 oduced short works for Barry Jenkins\, Lisandro Alonso\, Josh and Benny Saf
 die\, Valerie Massadian\, Amie Siegel\, and Joe Swanberg.  As an editor he'
 s worked with Robinson Devor\, Courtney Stephens\, Pacho Velez and Stephani
 e Spray. \n\nHe holds an MFA in Studio Arts from the University of Colorado
 \, Boulder\, is Founder and Programmer of Radar: Exchanges in Dance Film Fr
 equencies\, and was Program Director for Northwest Film Forum (Seattle). Hi
 s work has screened at the BFI\,  International Film Festival Rotterdam\, F
 ilm Society of Lincoln Center\, Anthology Film Archives\, Walker Art Center
 \, Seattle Art Museum\, Museum of the Moving Image\, and dozens of other ve
 nues around the globe.\n\n \n\nTomorrow Never Knows\nThe uncomfortable real
 ity of death is faced by Shar and Cynthia who\, upon Shar’s diagnosis with 
 early-onset Alzheimer’s\, make a brave and difficult decision: she will und
 ertake a conscious death\, fully experiencing the end of her life. This doc
 umentary moves away from any ominous\, taboo or frightening depiction\, ins
 tead raising the question of what we really mean when we say someone has go
 ne. Is it the senility\, the last breath or the burial? How do we prepare f
 or each stage? And what happens when the diagnosis comes soon after your de
 cision to start a gender transition? As our population ages and the number 
 of diagnoses of this little-understood disease increases\, these are questi
 ons we must find the cultural courage to address. This is a quiet\, non-lin
 ear and thought-provoking piece that encourages and rewards the honest exam
 ination of our own mortality.\n\n"TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS is one of the greate
 st films about death I’ve seen—it’s a triumph of empathy\, a tour de force 
 of emotion\, and\, perhaps even more monumentally\, a prime example of cine
 ma as ontological examination." - Cinefile\n\nWinner of the Radical Empathy
  Award at Chicago Underground Film Fest 2018 \n\nNominated for a 2019 Queer
 ty award for Best Documentary
