Let layers of cinematic texture, physical and metaphysical, tumble over you as you enjoy these four remarkably unique and transportive short films. Each use the narrative peculiarities of cinema, 120 plus years in the making, to subtle and sublime effect in building micro-cosmic story worlds of their own persuasion. Middlebury’s own Natasha Ngaiza uses tactful and poetic intercutting to focus and expand both inward and outward perceptions of motherhood in powerfully exact ways in A Mother. Two films by wacky reverse-engineers of cinema-style, The Rabbit Hunters and Hard, Cracked the Wind, up-cycle cinematic tropes and techniques of times past to elucidate artistry in an age without tradition. And En el dia de tu santo, a brilliant short from Argentina, uses stillness and ellipsis to render a seemingly mundane story into an affecting accumulation of moments.
