A program of engaging, real-life narratives in short bite-sized pieces, REALITY BITES presents the year’s very best documentary shorts from all over the world. Visionary and playful in tone, this is a package that offers portraits of incredible creatives, otherworldly locations, and unbelievable adventures, as well as shorts that explore the very boundaries of non-fiction storytelling. Expressing the concept that truth is often so much stranger than fiction, these tales of real-life need to be seen to be believed.
MARA is a femme revenge body horror for the digital age. This experiment is a short film that studies one of the least recognised yet most versatile performance artists - cam girls; and how their audiences react when something doesn't meet the expectations...to say the least. In the cam world where mutually a hyper-sexualised as well as demure quality of femininity is most valued, MARA explores the female body as breeding ground for artistic expression and liberation for the female psyche versus male fantasies in a hybrid crossection of live cam footage and narrative scenes.
