Animated Shorts
A rich collection of animated shorts produced using a broad range of techniques, from the painstakingly handmade to the meticulously digital. These films bring visual pleasures and splendors unique to their respective mediums.
 
Comedy Shorts
After the laughter comes tears. Sometimes those tears are from laughing so hard you cry, and sometimes they’re from crying so hard you eventually have to laugh. Whether fueled by chuckles found in the absurd, or the painful truths hidden in dark humor, these shorts are sometimes funny haha and sometimes funny oh no!
 
Character Study Shorts
This captivating assortment of shorts focuses on incisive, character-driven narratives, showcasing an array of personalities and varied lives on screen.
 
Documentary Shorts
In this eclectic array of short-form non-fictions, a rich tapestry of stories unfolds, mixing loving portraits with thrilling stories of true crime. This affecting collection of works both surprises and inspires.
 
Narrative Shorts
These dramatic gems envelop characters within contentious and powerfully resonant scenes. In them, figures combat physical threats, rehashed memories, and awkward exchanges. Punctuated by dashes of laughter, these Narrative Shorts are high on drama, but also vibrantly human.

There will be Filmmaker Q&As after each shorts program!
