A Special Virtual Encore Showcase of DCEFF's 2025 Eric Moe Award Winner and Finalists for Best Short on Sustainability

Student Academy Award Winner. Oscar-shortlisted. For Flynn, a single father and empty nester in the Bronx, beekeeping is a source of calm, wisdom, and healing. Undeterred by his severe allergy to bee stings, he cares for hives across the city—including several inside his daughter Alaura's childhood bedroom. When Flynn receives a life-threatening diagnosis, he reluctantly steps away from the bees under Alaura's care. Battling cancer while fretting about his hives' survival, Flynn prepares his daughter to continue living powerfully—with or without him. <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/0d704ff4bc31cd6a2176bf4d50a75a40.png" style="display: block; margin: auto;" width="450">

HOUSTON’S WHITEBEAM follows climber, botanist and poet Libby Houston who, at 80 years old, continues her work climbing the 300-foot cliffs of Bristol's Avon Gorge to investigate rare plants. By reaching every ledge on every rock face and using her poet's eye for close observation, Libby has helped establish the area as one of England’s most important botanical sites. But as it stands, there is only one known member of her namesake discovery - Houston’s Whitebeam - and reflecting on its inevitable extinction prompts Libby to contemplate her own legacy.
