ORCHID
NARRATIVE SHORT | 13.5 MIN | USA
Directed by Marit Mei-tsan Stafstrom

A cyborg woman risks everything to rescue her daughter - her clone - from a dystopian industrial facility. A metacinematic study in both sci-fi and the essay film, dealing with themes of identity, immigration, and the nature of cinema itself.

BEYOND YESTERDAY

AFRICAN ANIMAL'S LULLABY
NARRATIVE SHORT | 7 MIN | USA
Directed by Jessica Dimuzio, VMD and Rodney Whittenberg

“African Animals’ Lullaby,” an indie, family, "slice-of-life" film, incorporates authentic sounds and photographs of East African animals, set to a poem written by the film’s co-director and award-winning children’s book author and conservation educator Jessica Dimuzio, VMD. The film is co-directed and edited by Emmy award-winning composer Rodney Whittenberg, and narrated by internationally renowned, Pew Fellowship in the Arts recipient, master storyteller Charlotte Blake Alston.

MAYO GIRL
NARRATIVE SHORT | 11.5 MIN | USA
Directed by Jaccii Farris

She’s smart. She’s successful. She’s attractive.

So why is Sophie such a flop in the romance department? Because she’s also mastered the art of playing it safe. In fact, Sophie is as predictable as her lunchtime staple: plain chicken sandwich, hold the mayo. Every. Single. Time.

PARALYSIS
NARRATIVE SHORT | 4.5 MIN | USA
Directed by Melissa De Leon

Diana, a young mother, fears what comes in the night.

SPOON & ME
NARRATIVE SHORT | 7 MIN | USA
Directed by Koura Linda, Spaceship

A gentle and artistic look at a day in the life of a young girl with moderate myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).

ME limits her ability to live life as freely as an able-bodied person. This film is an expression of the ramifications of a "normal" day of exertion for someone with ME.

FIVE COUPLES
DOCUMENTARY SHORT | 15 MIN | USA
Directed by Haley Biggins

Interviews with 5 couples in love.

YOU GOT MA'AMED
NARRATIVE SHORT | 5.5 MIN | USA
