SHORTS PROGRAM

Each of these films takes a different approach to the problems and potential of perception. From pure abstraction to more direct and immediate engagement with the surrounding environment, this program explores and expands upon the varities of cinematic experience.
Some films force us to take a closer look at the properties of everyday objects and actions. Others call attention to the specificity of the cinematic medium, reprioritizing the surface of the image over its mere content.
While these films all explore their own ideas outside the boundaries of the above concerns, they all share this common love of the moving image. This program is an ode to the visceral and sensory pleasures of cinema, designed with the hope of opening you up to the possibilities contained within.
Plus, they look really fucking cool.
