NEW YEAR

The New Year is followed from East to West as it travels around the globe. Members of Termite TV Collective, dispersed by the season, document their environments, capturing the spirit of the New Year in different time zones. Groggy lovers wake up analyzing their essence, while the sun sets on a Bavarian sledding party. Watching the years come and go in Germany, India, Hawai’i, New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and San Francisco presents a contemplative portrait of this deceptively ordinary day.
