“Do You Know What's Great?" is a commentary on our tendency to detach from the problems of the world and find solace in passive observation and indifference.
“Do You Know What's Great” is an experimental video composed of found footage and the text adapted from my flash fiction story of the same name from my debut story collection, Anecdotes (Book*hug Press, 2023), which won the 2024 Victoria Butler Book Prize and was a finalist for the 2024 Trillium Book Award, 2023 Danuta Gleed Literary Award, 2024 Fred Kerner Award, and 2024 VMI Besty Warland Between Genres Award.
"Do You Know What's Great?" has screened at REELpoetry Houston, TX (Houston, USA), Oxford Shorts (UK), Austin Micro Film Festival (Finalist, USA), So Limitless and Free International Film Festival (Finalist, Montreal), and received an honorable mention from the Croma Art Film Festival (USA).
Kathryn Mockler is the author of the story collection Anecdotes (Book*hug Press, 2023), which won the 2024 Victoria Butler Book Prize and was a finalist for the 2024 Trillium Book Award, 2023 Danuta Gleed Literary Award, 2024 Fred Kerner Award, and 2024 VMI Besty Warland Between Genres Award. She co-edited the print anthology Watch Your Head: Writers and Artists Respond to the Climate Crisis (Coach House Books, 2020). Her films have screened at TIFF, EMFA, the Palm Springs Film Festival and most recently at the Arizona Underground Film Festival and REELPoetry/HoustonTX.
