Hap | Ography Anthology
Experimental
The Hap|Ography Anthology is a unique, interdisciplinary film and media project initially conceived of, and newly designed in, spring 2023 at WashU. Students are guided to visually answer the open-ended question what is happiness? by observing and capturing vertical video that documents “happiness” from the subjective vantage point of the filmmaker... Ultimately, each moment of curated vertical video is archived as a HAP|OGRAPH: a document of human happiness that is added to the filmmaker’s collection and then reviewed for inclusion in The Hap|Ography Anthology of Human Happiness.
