Curator’s note

Short films built to linger in the back of your mind

Thought-provoking short films feel like a question you cannot quite set down. They are less about how the story makes you feel in the moment than about the idea it plants, the impossible choice or the uncomfortable truth that keeps unfolding hours later. This is the mood for films you want to talk about the instant they end.

Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times traces two men across five charged encounters, and Time Spent offers a man drowning in the cost of living an impossible bargain. The Truth Seekers drops you into the truth wars where the only side is your own, Zafar follows an immigrant trying to hold his family together as a pandemic breaks, and The Lost Weekend watches James confront toxic friends on a trip to define his manhood.
