Our International showcase of short films returns once again.
This year we look at the trauma that follows the murder of a family member in Peru that remains shrouded in mystery and the rise to political activism after the killing of the sister of the protagonist by the LA police.
​We have a strong focus on Iran with two short fiction films focusing on the conditions of women in Iran and a re-imagining of the history of revolutionary Iran (the film includes brief images of animal cruelty).
Poetry plays an important role in exploring illegal migration in the USA, in rebuilding memories of the Spanish Civil War and in a poetic look at the beautiful and famous Portuguese Cobblestones whose maintenance clashes with the neoliberal city.
We also explore the history of the Keffiyeh and the limits of personal space and consent in public spaces (the right to take photographs of passers-by) and around consent in digital spaces, more specifically around unsoliciated nude images.
PLEASE NOTE: THE FILM SLAUGHTER INCLUDES BRIEF IMAGES OF ANIMAL CRUELTY SOME VVIEWERS MAY FIND DISTRESING.
