Festival Mix: A curated selection of short films spanning genres, styles, and voices. (Encore screenings are programming decisions and do not indicate award preference. Schedule subject to change.)

Reunited by their parents' death, two brothers, Alister and Oscar, meet at a storage unit to sort through a lifetime of belongings. What begins as a quiet, somber task quickly unravels as the confined space and charged memories force years of unspoken tension to the surface.

The brothers' strained interaction gives way to a raw, emotional confrontation, unearthing a deep-seated conflict from "that night" which precipitated one brother's move to New York. As they grapple with differing recollections of their parents and their past, they must navigate a minefield of grief, guilt, and perceived abandonment. "Storage" is an intimate drama that explores the painful, complex nature of sibling bonds and the difficult, necessary journey toward understanding and reconciliation.
