A Shorts Program is curated series of short films that play back to back in a single screening slot. Each of our shorts programs will offer a Q&A with attending filmmakers after the films. Each shorts program will play 3 times throughout the festival, and will be available virtually during our Virtual Encore Week.
This year’s Shorts Programs include:
An animation shorts block exploring aspects of life, love and loss.
5 Short Films about women overcoming challenges, making difficult choices, and changing the status-quo.
Take a trip into different communities and cultures with these impact-driven, change-making documentary films.
Films that explore the nature of identity, exclusion and the power in being ones-self.
A mixture of films exploring familal relationships in all forms — love, fear, history and all that comes with it.
A series of shorts that reflect on the past. From a retired hitman to a legendary Grizzly Bear, having to adapt to a changing world, and sharing unforgettable memories with your friends at the local Y.
AND MORE!
Absolutely! If you are on our mailing list you should be receiving one in the mail the first week of April, otherwise you can come pick one up at our HQ the first week of April! Come on in so you can start marking it up and making a game plan!
