However, on a deeper level, it is also a thought process to find purpose in life, to see that opening up and sharing love is only giving it back to you as well.	No	No	No		No	No	No
Old Death	Kyle Garrett	7	The music video for the highly anticipated debut single from Car Colors (the new project from Charles Bissell, formerly of The Wrens), “Old Death." “Old Death” – both the song and music video – ruminates on time, how one chooses to spend it, and what those choices cost. Set within the evocative framework of an old, detuned portable television, Charles Bissell (aka Car Colors) broadcasts a poignant exploration of music, memory, and mortality. The video captures the emotional depth and introspection of Bissell's journey, creating a powerful and solitary reflection on the passage of time.	No	No	No		No	No	No

Out of the Picture	Mary Louise Schumacher	98	"Out of the Picture" takes us inside the lives of some of the most relevant writers on art today, thinkers who are making sense of a period of unprecedented change to art, media and society. "Out of the Picture" is the first feature-length documentary to be made in the U.S. about one of the art world’s most mysterious figures – the art critic. For more than a decade, we have turned our cameras on critics navigating rapidly changing art and media landscapes, writers such as Carolina Miranda, of the Los Angeles Times; Hrag Vartanian, of Hyperallergic; Jen Graves of The Stranger; Jeneé Osterheldt of The Boston Globe; and Seph Rodney, independent critic. We have conducted interviews with powerful art world personalities, such as artist Catherine Opie; author Sarah Thornton; and critics Roberta Smith, Jerry Saltz, and Peter Schjeldahl. We’ve also rooted our work in deep reporting. While a Nieman Fellow at Harvard, director Mary Louise Schumacher led a national survey of more than 300 arts writers across the U.S., revealing new facts about the art world’s power structures. "Out of the Picture" is poised to prompt a national conversation about the nature of art, modern life, and how meaning gets made in the 21st century.	No	No	No		No	No	No

Prayer of the Sea	Martin Gerigk	7	A composer recounts a dream from his youth that inspired the slow movement of his first string quartet, Prayer of the Sea. The dream, depicting a peaceful dissolution into the sea and wind, symbolized his future death. Decades later, rediscovering a drawing from the quartet's premiere - perfectly capturing the dream’s essence - revived its emotions. Now older, he reflects on the dream’s message: a serene acceptance of life’s inevitable end.

Robofauna	Gerardo Escudero Samara	4	In a world that once thrived with the vibrant symphony of nature, humans lived in harmony with animals and the natural environment. However, as time passed and society's relentless advancement continued, this harmony was shattered. Unchecked development brought environmental destruction, rampant pollution, and the mass extinction of species. Ecosystems that once flourished turned into desolate wastelands, and the primal connection between humans and nature was lost in the fog of progress. In a desperate bid to correct the mistakes of the past, humanity turned to technology and innovation, giving rise to the concept of Robo-Fauna. These robotic animals, created with advanced artificial intelligence, were designed to restore the lost balance. Robotic birds now pollinate flowers that insects can no longer reach, while robotic fish patrol the oceans, keeping marine pests at bay. In this new and fragile equilibrium, technology and nature have found a way to coexist peacefully. Robots collaborate with scientists to protect the dwindling natural resources and heal the ravaged lands. The coexistence between animals and robots is so harmonious that it is often forgotten that they belong to different worlds. The story of this world is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of life. It serves as a reminder that, although humanity may have erred, there is always hope for redemption. In this renewed world, technology and nature have joined forces to create a more sustainable and prosperous future, demonstrating that it is possible to amend the past and forge a path toward harmony.

Instead of making contact she receives a intergalactic distress call from space that leads her on a journey to Spacerock, the land where Area 51 once was. She is exposed to severe levels of radiation and within days all of her organs start to fail. Knowing that medical treatment won't help her mother Wendy brings her back to Spacerock to give her to the aliens in hopes that they may be able to save her.	No	No	No		Yes	No	No

Sargassum	Claude Barnes	90	In the vast Atlantic ocean, a mysterious and vital ecosystem floats and thrives, vital at sea but disastrous on shore—the Sargassum seaweed. Sargassum is a visually captivating 90 min documentary that uncovers the seaweed's ecological significance and the intricate relationships it holds with marine life and humanity. Experts shed light on the critical role Sargassum plays in marine biodiversity, acting as a nursery and a sanctuary in the open ocean. However, the documentary takes a poignant turn as it investigates the alarming proliferation of Sargassum, particularly in the Caribbean and southern US. Once a symbol of ecological balance, Sargassum has now become an environmental menace, overwhelming coastlines and disrupting local economies. Scientists and environmentalists discuss the factors contributing to this crisis, including climate change and nutrient pollution, which have exacerbated the growth of Sargassum. The documentary also explores innovative solutions and ongoing efforts to mitigate the problem, showcasing the resilience and ingenuity of affected communities in the Caribbean, Mexico.

Saving Walden's World	James S Merkel, Deborah Shaffer	89	“As a former engineer working on weapons, his words have a special power.” -- Howard Zinn, Historian THE FILM When a young arms dealer discovers his work is harming families in less affluent societies, he has an ethical crisis and begins a decades-long journey to redeem himself and make the world a better place. SAVING WALDEN’S WORLD is a revealing new film following Jim Merkel as he raises Walden, a budding scientist, in an off-the-grid homestead and wonders: could the very people his past-life’s work targeted, hold the keys to a sustainable planet? A journey into “enemy” territory ensues, meeting powerful women who reshape society to work for all. Far from affluent utopias, Kerala, Cuba and Slovenia offer women free college, access to contraception, maternity leave, childcare, dentistry and healthcare. Services unimaginable in much of Jim’s blue-collar America. As earth temperatures soar, the stakes couldn’t get higher. WHY THIS FILM Immerse yourself in this intimate father-son exploration of a global shift, where personal and collective decisions about procreation and consumption ripple through generations, resulting in fewer yet healthier children. Land reform and literacy movements offered a route out of poverty. Our inspiring film spotlights the dividends of decades of policies towards social justice. As population pressures ease driven by the empowerment of women and education, we encounter a stark reality. Many nations are manipulated by a fear of economic decline and attempt to coerce more consumption and births. Could this jeopardize the very progress women are making towards averting the 6th extinction?	No	No	No		No	No	No

The Future with Us		2	Creative Statement The film focuses on traditional Chinese opera, Tai Chi, calligraphy, embroidery and other intangible cultural heritage, explores the inheritance dilemma in modern society, and thinks about how to balance the development of traditional culture and future technology. The film begins with a candle, which symbolizes the origin of civilization, reflecting the characters in intact traditional costumes, which is in sharp contrast with the dilapidated urban background. Although traditional culture has faded out of the mainstream vision, its spirit is still sticking. However, in the face of the wave of technological development, traditional culture gradually compromised and was eventually replaced by emotionless technology. The picture is gradually compressed and presents a sense of suffocation, which directly expresses that traditional culture has disappeared in the torrent of technology. At the end, it returns to the candle, leaving an open reflection on the future: is it extinction or hope?	No	No	No		No	No	No
The Girl Who Faded Away	Brent Heise	6	The search for love happens in a place where angels fear to tread. A man is walking on the edge of deep woods, holding an old wooden case. A white owl in the trees takes notice of him and swoops down. In a puff of smoke the owl transforms and becomes a beautiful female apparition. The “Girl” warns him against going further in these woods. The man stops and he sets his wood case on a fallen tree trunk. He opens it. Inside is an old fashioned turntable, a wind-up phonograph he cranks before carefully placing the needle on an old, black vinyl record. The music crackles and plays and a story unfolds. He experiences a vision: he is approaching an exotic country estate with its entranceway resembling an exotic, metal bird cage. He’s there and he steps in and sees the Girl waiting for him. He pursues her, but she is always one step ahead, able to disappear by magic, or secretly walking behind him, uncatchable. Finally, the man is able to engage her in just one loving dance with the song that is still playing. But the beautiful apparition suddenly pulls away, fading away into thin air. And just as the music fades she deserts him. The vision gone, there at the edge of the woods, the man, abandoned by love, begins his long trek into his lonely future, literally, into his sunset with many miles ahead of him. As he departs into the stormy dark cloud fields, the owl screeches from her nest above the man. Abandoned by the man, the owl transforms one last time to the Girl Who Faded Away. She stands where the man stood, looking at him as he journeys forever away, a tear on her cheek, and mourning forever his departure.	No	No	No		No	No	No
The Girl from the wood	Alexander Mulumbator Ovsyankin	3	“The Girl from the wood”. This AI video project was created for the social initiative "Podvigi," which tells the stories of heroic acts by ordinary people. We were inspired by the fairy tales from the series "Magical Tales of Child Heroes," based on the real-life heroic deeds of children, and created an AI-animated film. The main idea of the video is to show young children the heroic example of a 3-year-old girl who survived in the forest for 12 days: how to stay calm, fight for survival, and believe in a happy ending. This animated story is meant to warn children against impulsive actions, give them important advice, and inspire them to believe in themselves! The video is stylistically divided into two parts: a fairy tale told by a grandmother to her granddaughter and real-life events.
