Adas Falasteen, dir. by Hamdi Khalil Elhusseini & Samar Taher Lulu, (Palestine), Doc Short, 8 min, Palestine Lentils follows a Palestinian chef in Gaza who turns cooking into an act of care and resistance, using his craft to help his community endure the famine brought on by war. Centered on resilience, resourcefulness, and shared humanity, this documentary offers a moving portrait of hope sustained through food.
-
Cats, dir. by Danilo Stanimirović, (Serbia / Switzerland), Short, 10 min SCREENING 1 of 2 When eight-year-old Miša finds an abandoned kitten on the street, he clings to it in a desperate attempt to draw out the affection missing from his fractured home. This intimate drama observes childhood loneliness with quiet sensitivity, inviting audiences into a poignant story about the need for care and connection.
-
PeriPerseu, dir. by Stella Brajterman, (Brazil), Short, 5 min, Part two of the Icor trilogy, PeriPerseu is a visual poem inspired by Greek myth that reflects on Perseus and Danae through the mother’s body as a vessel for new life. Blending mythic imagery with embodied, experimental form, the film offers a meditative experience that should appeal to viewers drawn to poetic cinema and hybrid artistic expression.
-
Hide, dir. by Brenden Hubbard, (United States), Short, 17 min,
After a devastating loss, a father and daughter hold tight to their nightly bedtime ritual as an unspeakable horror stalks their town after dark. This haunting short pairs emotional intimacy with creeping dread in a way that should especially appeal to viewers drawn to atmospheric horror with a strong human core.
-
Invaders Of The Valley Saloon, dir. by Dustin Tidwell, (United States), Short, 12 min SCREENING 1 of 2 A saloon in the old west is visited by extra terrestrial beings.
-
Man Eater, dir. by Alexander Whitrow, (Australia), Short, 25 min, After a gruesome act of self-defense, a young woman branded a psychopath is confined to an asylum and forced to confront an impossible choice between her freedom and her moral conscience. Set against a chilling mid-century system of punishment and control, this psychological drama offers a tense, character-driven story that will resonate with viewers drawn to dark social critique and morally fraught suspense.
-
The Ale, dir. by Adrian Eppel, (Australia), Short, 2 min SCREENING 1 of 2 Heartbroken and hoping to drink alone, Sam finds his plans upended when three friends descend on his Melbourne bar and turn his misery into surreal, unruly chaos. Mixing absurd comedy with real emotional warmth, the film offers a fast, affectionate portrait of friendship that should especially connect with viewers who appreciate humor with heart.
-
Somber Tides (marée noire), dir. by Chantal Caron, (Canada), Short, 12 min, Somber Tides evokes a world on the brink, where life struggles against wind, water, and the threat of extinction in a visceral cry for survival. With its elemental imagery and embodied intensity, the film offers a striking experience for viewers drawn to dance-driven cinema and urgent reflections on the natural world.
-
The Shell, dir. by Marco Santos, (Portugal), Short, 7 min, Haunted by the world’s constant noise and suffering, a young woman retreats to the sea in search of silence and relief. Quietly evocative and emotionally focused, the film offers a contemplative experience for viewers drawn to intimate stories of inner turmoil and escape.
-
The Space Between Attack And Decay, dir. by Jessica Kourkounis, (United States), Short, 29 min SCREENING 1 of 2 Under a gray, fractured world, a sailing scientist’s rigid ritual begins to unravel when a chrome apparition appears and a radio’s cryptic commands pull him into a surreal journey across disjointed landscapes. Atmospheric and visually striking, the film offers an intriguing blend of sci-fi, mystery, and abstraction for viewers drawn to dreamlike cinema and fragile glimmers of hope.
-
Underneath, dir. by Matthew James Bissett-Johnson, (Australia), Animation, 3 min, A geometric figure pursues a blob through an underground complex in this stripped-down, surreal animated chase. Playful and enigmatic, the film offers a distinctive visual experience for viewers drawn to abstraction, absurdity, and animation that invites interpretation.
-
Homicide, dir. by Nima Tabandeh, (Iran), Short, 10 min, At dawn, a grieving family travels to prison to carry out the execution of the man convicted of murdering their son, exposing the brutal machinery of state punishment. This stark Iranian drama confronts justice, vengeance, and loss with unsettling clarity, offering a powerful experience for viewers drawn to urgent, socially engaged cinema.
-
Vas Mar, dir. by Nima Tabandeh, (Iran), Short, 20 min, As Nowruz approaches, an elderly woman grieving her husband’s sudden death must choose between surrendering to despair and carrying forward the hopeful life they built together. Tender and deeply human, the film offers a moving reflection on loss, resilience, and the quiet power of continuing on.
-
The Reach, dir. by Luca Caserta, (Italy), Short, 28 min SCREENING 1 of 2 9:00pm SHOWTIME On Goat Island, an elderly woman who has never crossed the stretch of water separating her from the mainland begins to see visions of lost loved ones and is drawn toward a final journey through memory, love, and mortality. Tender and supernatural in equal measure, the film offers a moving, reflective experience for viewers drawn to intimate stories about grief, courage, and the boundaries between life and death in this Steven King written adaptation.
-
Big Mama Thornton: I Can't Be Anyone But Me, dir. by Robert Clem, (United States), Doc Feature, 88 min SCREENING 1 of 2* 9:30pm SHOWTIME This powerful documentary honors the life and legacy of blues icon Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton, a groundbreaking artist whose fierce authenticity and influence helped shape American music history.
