The Problem by Jennifer Ward The Problem is a cinematic portrait of a young woman undergoing a time of crisis and change. Ward takes the look of everyday life and seamlessly builds a sense of mystery and psychological struggle. She uses an ambiguous and shifting sense of time and place to convey a conflicted mental state. Martina Jackson brings a strong presence to the screen in a convincing and understated performance. lost watch by Priscilla Yamamoto lost watch is a gem of a short film that recalls the raw cinematic eloquence of the French New Wave. Yamamoto creates powerful and startling compositions and a gritty black and white photographic language. The story looks at a relationship and a sense of loss that is both material and emotional. In the small moments, in the camera movements and the compositions of figures and interior settings, Yamamoto creates an original filmic vision that has the feel of life today. With Casey C. A Sunshiny Production. connected? by Isabel B. Pulido connected? visualizes the relationship of people and machines in the cybernetic age. Pulido uses live performance, play, and special effects to create a motion picture portrait of our relation to our screens and digital realities. The film references both the monitor and the games that are played on it, while building a mesemerizing rhythm. An original original work that recalls early cinematic fascination with moving paintings, while addressing the contemporary world of cyborgs. you have my goat? by Geoffrey Spach you have my goat? is a visualization of a troubling dream of a young girl. Creatures and faces appear through the darkness, accompanied by disturbing sounds. She is hiding and running from these images that seem to be keeping from her an important possession -- her goat. Dreams are an uncontrollable experience. Their mysteries are like the mysteries of faith and spirituality. In this film I chose to explore many of these aspects through the mind of a young girl. Juniper Tea by John Farrand Juniper Tea is a rich and complete short film. Farrand takes the situation of a simple conversation in a park, and builds into it a portrayal of memory, joy and love. With an unerring sense of timing and a bold sense of color, Farrand brings all of the drama and movement of a suspense thriller to an everyday conversation. The sense of detail, especially in a memorable close-up exploration of fruit, infuses a poetic sense to the work. There are many small touches that make this a film worth seeing and seeing again. With Celeste Sharp and John Farrand.
