THE FINALIST & WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT FOLLOWS SCREENING

A panfemale future, One day in the future. A delegate joins the emergency convention of the global government to prevent a pending crisis. M/S: Runtime: 9:38

Passage, Muriel Paraboni, Director: A fisherman throws himself into unknown waters, where fish have long gone, wrapped in silent mystery. In this journey without return, the landscape sometimes assumes the role of the other and the other soon reveals the reverse or a mirror of himself in the ineluctable solitude of the horizon. LVM: Runtime 14:27

You Are Who You Say You Are, Jeanine Rogers, Director: Jeanine creates a poem to overcome all the discouraging words said to her to encourage other women to be their best selves. SW/P: Runtime 1:25

Under every skin, Megan Stancanelli, Director: Under every skin can be considered a psychological/artistic short film. SW/P: Runtime 3:14

Terry Leans In, Gary John Boulter, Director: After 50 years of doing God knows what with his life, Terry has finally found his true calling. M/S: Runtime 2:30

The Things I Say To My Animal, Kim Hlavac, Director: Based on a group poem, this is a no-budget short film about the things we say to our pets. SW/P: Runtime 4:20

Jangan Lupa, Jeremy Flohr, Director: JANGAN LUPA ('do not forget') refers to an integration booklet for people that came to the Netherlands after the Indonesian independence. In a patronizing manner, this booklet explains how to become a 'proper' Dutch citizen: how to clean your house, how to peel potatoes, and how to dress for the cold Dutch winter. Overriding people's own cultures, experiences, and identities, it did not provide tools on how to deal with displacement, war trauma, or how to make your new surroundings a home. This video gives voice, sound, and movement to the search for belonging, wherever you are. M/S: Runtime 3:36 

Seduction of Distance, Mike Messier, Director: Kathryn "Seduction of Distance" is a promo/proof of concept monologue from Mike Messier's "A Distance from Avalon - when the dying and the dead reunite" novel, feature film screenplay, and full-length feature-length stage play script. M/S:  Runtime 4:40

We are the Lost Girls, Steve Downey, Director: features the poem "We are the Lost Girls", written and performed by Christina Jane ["C. J "]. Both Steve and Christina are on the Autism Spectrum but were not diagnosed until they were adults. This late diagnosis helped to explain the challenges they had both experienced when children, growing up, and later as adults. SW/P:  Runtime 5:38

A Second of the World, Anja Struck, Director. What happens in a single second around the world? "A second of the world" is a flashlight on the deeply human, which happens at the same time but in different places of this world. Based on a short story by the German writer Siegfried Lenz. SW/P: Runtime 6:11

Les Mots Croisés, Nicolas Engel, A hotel at night. Coded messages. Tea. LVM: Runtime 28:16

Johnny The Dime, Joseph Blake Menzel, Director: A brash and arrogant man catches a peeping-tom spying on his sister. He vows to take revenge and discovers something very special about himself along the way. M/S: Runtime 17:17
