An Interpretation of Life and Death is a video project written and produced by students from Crane High School, in partnership with The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Urban Gateways Center for Arts Education. This work was made as part of a pilot program in media arts offered to high school students from underserved areas of Chicago. The program is co-taught by Chelsea Knight and John Thompson. Over the course of this intensive two-week video course, students worked collaboratively to create a work that explores and chronicles the progressive stages of life.

This work is shown together with a short documentary about the students and their individual and collective processes in the class.
