An Immaculate Conception _ Molly Miller

It has recently come to my attention that time is porous and that attempts to record or preserve are inherently insufficient. This film explores the construction of family and the familiar by playing with modes of opacity and documentary.

Boys of My Youth _ Christian Meola

Through eerie iPhone photographs of empty high school hallways and dimly lit locker rooms, a narrator reflects on his teenage sexual repression.

hard boil, soft centre _ Elsa Wong + Sonia Kwek

Unfolding as a series of vignettes, hard boil, soft centre is a surrealist short film that reimagines four female archetypes, threaded together with the symbol of the egg. Inspired by mythological figures, fantastical allegories and personal dreams, each story features a character of each archetype and their associated landscape, revealing a peek into these women’s hidden pains. hard boil, soft centre peels apart these visual metaphors, letting what’s inside ooze out.

Alien _ Noah Murphy

A person's recollection of the time they discovered an alien as a young child. An embodiment of the vague memories of childhood.

grounding (salt flats) _ Ashley Condina

The Fastest Boxer in the World _ Griffin Conner

BE YOURSELF. A one day shot-on-video odyssey in the life of Matthew Morales, the fastest boxer in the world.

INFINITE SUSPIRATION _ Alex Killgore

A Distillation of Existence. Nothing is real, Everything is Real. We find ourselves lost and found. Capturing the distortion of Reality is required for distilling Contemporary Life. The seen and unseen. Screen and Unscreen. I want To Be. I want Not To Be.

Trepan _ Alina Yakirevitch

A dead car functions as a prehistoric cave inhabited by three men. During the day, they carve drawings on its surface. As night falls, they enter the cave-car and in it they hold a ritual, an improvised sequence of movement and sound. In a state of trance, they utilize their bodies and the body of the vehicle to make a rhythm, a musical corpus, without using language.

Melody's Parade _ Brian Martin Haver-Scanlon

A man loses a woman in the crowd. Suddenly, an explosion. The parade erupts in to chaos. Her ghost travels through the streets of New York looking to save him.
