Filmmaker Lori Felker employs a mixture of cinematic tools to convey her physical and emotional turmoil in this alternately humorous and harrowing first-person recounting of the time she had a miscarriage while attending the Sundance Film Festival. Come for the well observed personal memoir, stay for the surprising celebrity cameos.

A fresh, modern take on the vampire story, featuring a woman surviving off of the menstrual blood of her friends, who suddenly realizes her supply is dwindling. Ultimately, this is a surprisingly charming tale of selflessness that tackles its extreme subject with a light touch.

An experimental short, lush with beautifully textured images and sounds, addressing themes of motherhood, loss, expectation, care, and legacy.

Filmmaker Kym McDaniel uses a variety of artistic media to paint a strikingly honest and personal portrait of the search for identity while confronting emotional and physical traumas and reckoning with a complicated parental relationship.

The Coronavirus lockdown as navigated and narrated by a three year-old girl who spends her alone time raising butterflies. A bit of blissful respite during the pandemic.

Lori Felker bookends her essayistic short, Spontaneous, with this wonderfully discomforting examination of life with a toddler. Starting with a chronological series of vignettes before focusing on an awkward encounter with a neighbor/babysitter, Not You is Felker’s funniest/eeriest short since Discontinuity (WFF ‘14).
