Filmmaker Elizabeth Subrin, a professor in Temple's School of Communications and Theater, spoke to the New York Times about her latest work, "Lost Tribes and Promised Lands." Through still photography Subrins attempts to create a visual comparison between images from 2001, just after Sept. 11, and 2008. Through their dense quality of color and almost saturated daylight, Subrin presents a meditative work on an inability to go back in time and the role of stasis which prompts questions about whether progress ever actually occurs.
