Echo

Italy, 2016, 13 min.

Director: Davide Fara

Daniele is a boy affected by chronic deja vu, a pathology leading him to believe he already lived everything that happens in his life. Following his supposed “premonitions,” he eventually meets Adelaide, an extroverted girl who’s going to shake all his beliefs.

Valparaiso

Italy, 2016, 20 min. 

Director: Carlo Sironi

While Rocio is pent up in an immigration detention center in Rome, she gets pregnant. She doesn’t want to tell who did it or how it happened.  The law does not permit them to hold a pregnant woman, so Rocio gets released with a temporary residency permit when she is four months pregnant. Now she is free, but she has to carry on with an unwanted pregnancy.

The Great Player  위대한 선수

Korea, 2009, 18 min.

Director: Yoo Seung-jo

In corporate culture, just about everyone has someone to kiss up to. Dong-sik tried to play the game and impress his boss at their company’s ridiculous team-building soccer match, but his true feelings are plain to see.

Harin, the Cat, and Taehyeon

하린, 고양이 그리고 태현

Korea, 2017, 11 min.

Director: Eun-hyang Lee

Harin has a comfortable life and a stable relationship with Taehyeon. But what happens when we become complacent... and neglect to take care of the true source of our own happiness? 

Dol (First Birthday)  돌 

USA, 2011, 11 min.

Director: Andrew Ahn 

When Nick attends his baby nephew's 'dol,' a traditional Korean first birthday party, he finds himself yearning for a life just out of reach.
