Emsahar
A young girl attempts to prevent the imminent death of her beloved grandmother by harnessing the magical powers of a local Ramadan drummer.
Napo
John, unable to understand the illness that drives his grandfather between past and present states, stumbles upon an old album full of photographs and lets the images guide his imagination, transforming his grandpa's memories into drawing interpretations.
Frank & Emmet
Frank & Emmet tells the story of two life-long friends and show-business partners who, after weeks of drifting apart, sit together to have a much-needed conversation. The talk takes a turn when they address head-on the one thing they’ve never talked about: One of them is a puppet.
Black Slide
Timid young Eviah and his best friend sneak onto the Black Slide, the most terrifying ride at Aqua Fun. There, Eviah will gain insight to prepare him for events about to unfold at home.
Looking at Childhood
An old man is visited by the young boy he once was, forming a momentary reunion of past and present.
Floundering
With the end of a floundering adventure in sight, neither grandfather nor grandchild are quite ready to part ways. They depend on one another to stave off mundanity. For grandpa, that means living alone; for Charlie, school.

These shorts tackle the complexity of grief, loneliness, and all of life’s transitions with grace and a touch of humor.



To accommodate evolving public health recommendations regarding COVID-19, we are adopting a hybrid virtual-and-in-person festival model for CFFS 2022. VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person) Festival Passes are available here.


⚠️ For the sake of public safety, NWFF patrons ages 5+ will be required to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination and to double-mask while in the building. Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them. ⚠️


NWFF is adapting to evolving recommendations to protect the public from COVID-19. Read more about their policies regarding cleaning, masks, and capacity limitations here. We reserve the option to shift the festival to virtual-only on short notice.

Charlie and her grandfather Roger ride to the beach to go floundering. There’s an unspoken unease beneath their outing, as Charlie soon has to go back to school, and Roger will continue living on his own. After an argument and a fall on their way back, they both realize that their dependent relationship may not be able to provide the same shelter forever.
