Heading straight out of the Sundance Film Festival and plugging  
directly into your short film pleasure center comes the 2008 SUNDANCE  
SHORTS program!
Selected by the programmers at the Sundance Institute, which organizes  
the annual festival, this lively and altogether unique sampler of nine  
shorts (culled from the 83 short films screened at the 2008 festival)  
covers a dizzying variety of styles, genres and cultures.
In Andrew Okpeaha MacLean’s SIKUMI (On the Ice), an Inuit hunter in  
the Arctic inadvertently becomes witness to a murder.
Daniel Robin’s MY OLYMPIC SUMMER is a touching documentary on the  
filmmaker’s parents set against the hostage crisis at the 1972 Munich  
Olympic Games.
The animated YOURS TRULY from Britain’s Osbert Parker is a dazzling  
“cartoon noir” incorporating iconic Hollywood imagery.
In Danish filmmaker Mads Matthiesen’s poignant DENNIS, an introverted  
bodybuilder goes out on a date and disappoints his mother.
Dan Beers’ hilarious FCU: FACT CHECKERS UNIT stars Pete and Brian  
(Peter Karinen and Brian Sacca) as two FCU agents who break into Bill  
Murray’s home to confirm a magazine item about his bedtime habits.
In the German film W., a most unusual public service announcement, a  
social outcast describes how he found his place in the world.
I LOVE SARAH JANE from Australian Spencer Susser is an apocalyptic  
teenage romance, combining the crush of first love and the crunch of  
rampaging zombies.
In Myna Joseph’s MAN, two sisters form an unusual bond during an  
encounter with a young man.
Another surprising Australian entry, Nash Edgerton’s SPIDER, proves  
that practical jokes can backfire in a big way. Hang onto your seats  
for this one!
They're short, they're sweet, they're the SUNDANCE SHORTS. Catch them  
while you can!
