The perspectives and approaches elevating short-form storytelling around the world
Existence is exhausting; narrative is tired. Thankfully, the Short Forum is back par excellence, reaching new heights of hybridity, invention, and raw experience. As the Anthropocene rages on and technology continues to coil around us, humanity as a concept is thrown into question. Films that dare to reinterpret the past and envision a better future are foregrounded as we continually reflect on what stories need to be told, what lessons still need learning, and what actions must be taken.

Short Forum 3: Workers of the World

Short Forum 5: Somewhere Else
If space and time are pure perception, let’s build them differently.
Short Forum 9: Big Time Sensuality
Explorations of desire and intimacy serve both pain and pleasure.
