Christian Padron directs a short music film for&nbsp;Samora Pinderhughes.&nbsp;Masculinity&nbsp;is the&nbsp;the first release from&nbsp;composer Samora Pinderhughes'&nbsp;album Grief, and is part of the on-going collaboration between the director and artist&nbsp;under The Healing Project - a multidisciplinary response to trauma from structural violence."This film explores how different conceptions of manhood show up in body, language, and sound. Vulnerability is the center of this piece." Padron says.&nbsp;The documentary-style aesthetic explores masculinity in different characters and forms, and how the idea of 'manliness'&nbsp;is instilled from a young age. Spanning a range of tender vignettes, the video feels authentic and human, and this is reflected in the casting and location choices.&nbsp;"We wanted to have representations from various generations, from elders to babies, to think about how we're raised, what society teaches us, and how we reveal ourselves over time,” Padron continues.&nbsp;The film for Masculinity follows the short film Process, winner of the Audience Award for Best Experimental Film at BlackStar Film Festival, and Grief, a music and film commission by Carnegie Hall.
