Thank you to Spectacle for hosting this event!!

Firefly _ N'namdi Anderson

A young man pursues his passion in the dead of night.

Jessie the Ghost _ Patrick Boehmcke

A wanted cybercriminal lays low at the Jersey Shore.

Loobtopia _ Ruby Bailey

In Loobtopia, avatars and digital effigies serve as conduits for the director’s real life venting and journaling. Deliberately 'silly' visual tropes and a cynical and ironically narcissistic third-person narrative work to camouflage an aching feeling of emptiness, as Loobi endlessly and chaotically quests for a sense of ‘home’.

Triangular Door _ Dylan Mars Greenberg

The last survivors of an obliterated culture search for spiritual bondage in a reality show from hell. Shot on Super 8 film and narrated by Guy Maddin. Featuring Adam Green as the Earth's Salesman.

Year of the Rabbit _ Astro Rys

A meditation on the cycles of creation, life, and rebirth, told through the mediums of home videos from the past year. Everything is connected and everything will return.

OF _ Ellis Ozen & SOVAK

An obsessed online-chess player who witnesses the love story of two rogue horses.

Cadillac Jake III: The Staircase to Hell _ Rex Krowbar

Rex Krowbar visits the infamous “Devil’s Pier” to investigate a site known for its long history of disappearances that still remained unsolved. Upon climbing the staircase located in the middle of the pier, Rex discovers a tape that may give them the answers they were looking for.

Supply & Demand _ Elliot J Smith

An ode to the economics of electricity and comfort in an era of abundance.

The Space Between the Door and the Floor _ Sabrina Kissack

Starring Ava Scott / Directed by Tempest Creation / Wardrobe by Astrid Parker

גִּלְגּוּל (Gilgul) _ Gabi Rudin

Dr. Adrian Finkelstein reflects on his first experience with death as a child of World War II in Bucharest, Romania. Through his premature exposure to the fragility and impermanence of human existence, he uncovers an intuitive desire to investigate the temporality of life and death.

Raater Ful (Night Flower) _ Nina Gofur

A diary entry from a trip to my father's home village in Bangladesh.

Bezuna _ Saif Alsaegh

Bezuna explores the complexities of fleeing a war-zone through the analysis of peripheral details. Through interweaving different narratives, the film presents the raw and broken feelings of a child and a cat whose lives will never be the same.

Echappe _ Xinli She

The contradiction between the physical world and inner self. A journey of individualistic expression trapped under the confines presented by society.
