<---------------------------------------------------------
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 MacLeans SIKUMI (On the Ice), an Inuit hunter in
the Arctic inadvertently becomes witness to a murder.
Daniel Robins MY OLYMPIC SUMMER is a touching documentary on the
filmmakers parents set against the hostage crisis at the 1972 Munich
Olympic Games.
The animated YOURS TRULY from Britains Osbert Parker is a dazzling
cartoon noir incorporating iconic Hollywood imagery.
In Danish filmmaker Mads Matthiesens 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
Murrays 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 Josephs MAN, two sisters form an unusual bond during an
encounter with a young man.
Another surprising Australian entry, Nash Edgertons 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!
