"2:13" is many things. First, it's the name of a film festival that call for artists to submit films of exactly 2 minutes 13 seconds. Second, it's the name of the film that Dana Elfenbaum and I submitted to this festival in 2005. Third, it's an action that exceeded the film itself: it happened in 2009, when Marisol Dominguez showed our film to her students, in Mexico, and asked them to write a text about it. Afterward, she selected some of the texts the students have written and sent them to me. I found them very interesting, and decided to record a personal answer to some of the students (below).

A sonorous image and a visual rhythm remove and recreate accelerations and stoppages that build up a plane which emphasizes a fourth and a fifth dimension: time and spirit.
