Live Your Art, a short film by Mani Mehrvarz documenting the work of four Buffalo-based artists—Naila Ansari, Julia Anne Cordani, Pam Glick, and Maryam Muliaee—is available to screen online. The film’s music was composed by Ethan Hayden and performed by Wooden Cities.

A collaborative film-making experiment by the Arts Collaboratory, Live Your Art documents the experience of living and working in Buffalo as an artist. Bringing together four diverse Buffalo artists, the short film is a celebration of creativity across the disciplines. The production team takes cameras into spaces where art is made, and then leads viewers out into the city on a search for sources of inspiration, collaboration and community.
