Shorts Program 7 - Student Shorts. From mullet-wearing, air-guitar gangs to a Palestinian suicide bomber, this yearÕs Student Shorts program covers a wide range of human experience. Whimsical stories like a lonely man trying to appear in as many photos as possible and a woman using balloons to send letters are balanced by tragic accounts of lynching, brothers separated in Vietnam and a homeless man in San FranciscoÕs Tenderloin.

In the middle of the night, Quarry, a retired hitman, leaves his lakeside cabin to find snack food at a convenience store. There he sees (but is not seen by) Harry, a Chicago mob underling who is buying various things, including sanitary napkins. This perks Quarry's interest -- why is a Chicago mob guy in these remote parts? Why is the mob guy -- who Quarry knows to be gay -- buying kotex?

A playful mix of multi culturalism and experiment. Grand statutes on one of the famous squares in Brussels are brought to life by the voices and imagination of Moroccan and Congolese children.

Shorts Program 5 - Portable Shorts. The strength of this program lies in the emotional depth of each title, a quality often difficult to achieve in a short film. These seven films span a broad range of feeling from the comedic to the bizarre to the tragic. Here, animated shorts mix easily with live action. One film depicts the rise and fall of civilization from a rock's perspective; another is inspired by the work of Japanese author, Kobo AbŽ.
