Intro - Shorts 2 Screening Committee Selects

Cloistered underneath the sparkling facade of the Eiffel Tower are dozens of undocumented Senegalese migrants working to send money to their families back home. Constantly harassed by the police, they toil in the shadows, selling miniature souvenirs of the iconic Parisian monument they hustle beneath.

Dafa Metti (Difficult)

Biodiversity shifts in the Kuril Islands and Vladimir, a Russian marine biologist, is determined to retrieve data from a set of active volcanoes. Hijacking a tour of photographers, his infectious energy brings direction to their trip as they document his journey on the Western Pacific.

From Kurils with Love

Japanese Buddhism describes life as water pouring in and out of bodies gradually, no moment of beginning or end. As one woman pondering life’s fluidity and her terminated pregnancy, the film explores spiritual concepts and individual grief. Mixed-animation and live-action montages visualize a private meditation of life, death, and faith.

Mizuko

In a small Norwegian town, a group of boys find themselves ousted by the local community for their rough antics.&nbsp;Relying upon each other to stay entertained, they cause all sorts of trouble robbing locals and hanging with known criminals. Decades later the group recounts some of their most notorious experiences.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Train Robbers

A complex portrait of Arizona-based geographer Scott Warren, who awaits a felony trial and possible 20-year prison sentence for providing aid to migrants making their way across the US-Mexican border. His case exposes the moral quandary that awaits anyone who must choose between providing aid or obeying the law.&nbsp;&nbsp;
