Special Jury Mention for Excellence in Non-Fiction Storytelling - I'M FREE NOW, YOU ARE FREE


The complexities of love are laid bare in this program showcasing erotica audiobook voice acting, disastrous date conversations, a record-breaking phone call and a graffiti love story.


Sloan Hearts Neckface, dir. Justin Fair (USA), Lip Service, dir. Emily Tremaine (USA), I’m Free Now, You Are Free, dir. Ash Goh Hua (USA), Disarmed, dir. Rana San, Will Myers (USA), Wednesday, dir. Alex Kokenis, Alison Hale (USA), La Gloria, dir. Mary Evangelista (USA), Sinking Ship, dir. Sasha Leigh Henry (Canada)

The short film SINKING SHIP is a hyper-stylized look at a changing relationship between a man and a woman hitting their early forties. While out for drinks, a couple find themselves in an intellectual discussion of how they feel about each other. Their clinical honesty is contrasted by the restaurant’s massive mural of open waters behind them that conveys the emotional truth of the state of their relationship. The ship is sinking, and it’s every person for themselves.
