Is blood thicker than water?

Is blood thicker than water?

5 films

Whenever I hear someone say, “They continue to give so much for each other—after all, they’re family, and blood is thicker than water,” I can’t help but think of this: In every family, there are at least two people who share no blood relation at all. So how can a phrase like “blood is thicker than water” possibly account for all the effort, pain, and complexity woven into those relationships? This exhibition presents five short films, each exploring a different kind of relationship. Some are bound by blood, while others reveal that sometimes, water runs thicker than blood. I often think of a line from The World Between Us: "In a family, people hurt each other. But they don’t heal each other." Perhaps that’s just what it means to be human—so clumsy at love, and yet so desperate for it.
