Short Film Spotlight, Presented by the Talking Pictures Festival

FREE EVENT!

Enjoy an afternoon of international shorts at the Talking Pictures Festival!  Black humor reigns in Keri Burrows’ AIR (UK), where the air on the planet all of a sudden becomes unbreathable and two unlikely heroes find each other as they struggle to survive. Kyra Buschor and Cynthia Collins’ animated ZING (Germany) shows the grim reaper in a battle of wills with a smart little girl. Stephen Sues’ animated ADAIR (USA) begins with simple car trouble in Iowa before turning into a twisted Midwestern fever dream. Terrence Heuston’s MADDOGGIN’ takes us to the harsh streets of East L.A., where Pedro and Ernesto are pressured to join the local gang. The choices the boys make over a single day will alter their lives forever. Plus additional short films.
