Join CFF as we take a journey into the longer side of short cinema. One of the many joys of presenting our festival in a hybrid format is that it allows us to include so many amazing films that our time limitations during our in-person days wouldn't allow, and it also gives us the freedom to program more short work with running times 15 minutes and above. It can be challenging for festivals to make longer short films work when space in blocks is limited, and we're grateful that our two-volume Fun Size Epics block gives us a chance to share an exceptional group of films that pack more world-building and storytelling in their run times than some features can manage.

In The Dumpster Dive, cockroach news hosts Howard Scourge and Madison Von Vermin report on how microplastics could have dire consequences for their species’ biggest nuisance: humans. Toeing the line between documentary and fiction, Asherman combines expert testimonial, collage animation, puppetry, and live cockroaches in this short hybrid film.
