feature film
play
In the new play with heavy ballet elements by Emma Davidov, a New York City photographer's new romance ignites a surreal battle with buried childhood trauma from a manipulative teacher who abused her, forcing her to grapple with a groomed psyche and the pressures of desirability as she confronts her past to fight for a liberated future.
THE TEMPLE
FEATURE LENGTH DOCUMENTARY
A tale of co-creation, The Temple of Together follows the construction and short life of Burning Man’s great Temple-- the largest and most ephemeral public art Instsallation in the world. Designer Caroline Ghosn, hundreds of volunteers, and over 75,000 “Burners” will unite on the playa as they seek the sacred, cultivate connection, and be transformed by the mighty flames that will engulf the Temple only one week after it is erected, returning it to ash. Our cast of characters ranges from zany to solemn, each starting their journey from a
different backgrounds and coalescing into the intricate and heartwarming fabric of Black Rock City. The tale begins at The Loom in the bay area where the design begins to take shape and takes us to the Playa where art cars, talent shows, love stories, and spiritual experiences take place. The Temple is a labor of love, and we were honored to capture deeply personal offerings which adorned the Temple's great arches, lattices, and domes.
"SOUP"
SHORT FILM
A dark comedy of delicious proportions (key word being portions), "Soup" centers on a sordid supper for three where the anti-heroine Sofia (Olivia Haley Young) leaves it all out on the table. Sofia, the victim of a heinous crime grapples with her abuser's Stockholm-syndrome ridden wife, Amber (Emma Davidov) and apologist mother (Mary Haley Young). This short film, written by Kingmond Young and directed by San Fransisco-based rising director Athyn Ritter,
deals with themes of womanhood, abuse, grooming, and the cost of being consumed by our pasts. The Aurelians' inaugural film, "Soup" is a stomach-turning, pearl clutching, red-wine and revenge fueled affair. This manic journey can only be accurately described as "the same way you imagine Nicole Kidman felt in that photo where she screams in glee after divorcing Tom Cruise". We suggest viewing on an empty stomach.
THE ROMANTIC
The Romantic is Emma Davidov’s inaugural collection of poetry. Written over the span of 7 years, it is composed of love letters, prayers, vindications, and musings. Each of these are strung together by the strong theme of romanticization of one’s life, a phenomena from which no one is safe. It is a book about the little moments, the big feelings, the intrusive thoughts, and sweet sweet heartbreak. Handle with care… words are sharp and we are so soft.
A BOOK OF POEMS
The Salon Series is an immersive artistic nightlife experience featuring an evolving lineup of up-and-coming darlings of the art world and new voices featuring The Aurelians Collective resident artists. Iterations include 2023's sold-out The Fountain of Youth and the upcoming Celestial Bodies. Lineups include theatre, original music, stunning installations, and poetry, culminating in a vibrant fête where artists and industry reps find a unique opportunity to connect.
