Mother and daughter dance in the first short clip. The second clip, “Seagulls & Singing,” is an art piece directed by Kate Gallagher. The concept was that a group of women in black bathing suits would sing on the beach for a womanfriend who was dying of cancer. But seagulls kept diving at them. They try to divert the gulls by throwing bread with surreptitious hand movements they hoped would evade the camera. Very funny.
