Short films that ache for somewhere gone

Nostalgic short films live in the pull of memory, in the things and places we cannot get back. The Last Reel lingers with cinema projectionists at the close of their craft, Land's End sends Joseph Mawle running away into a wistful, cinematic distance, and GhostofYou. watches Miranda struggle to move on as fragments of a past love keep resurfacing.

Some of these reach back to hold onto something fading. Interstice follows a teen genius travelling through time to find the father who was never there, The Tides That Bind chases messages in bottles across the years, and San Esteban: Freedom, Mysticism and Nopales watches a corner of rural Mexico fight to keep its soul. Ten short films to get lost in, no account required.
