This program screens with Best Micro Short Nominees

ABERRATION

Shani Varner / United States / 07:25


Empowered by the profound force of love, a man embarks on a harrowing odyssey through the sinister realms of purgatory, wherein he grapples with the labyrinthine passages of the five stages of grief, all while seeking absolution alongside his long-lost beloved.

FLAY

Gwyneth Johnson / United States / 03:44


A short, experimental body horror piece that is a social commentary on the stereotypes put on biracial/multiracial people. As conflicting voices arise, Isabella's confidence demises, and an innocent makeover turns into her need for "new skin."

MY WIFE

Aaron Garcia / United States / 06:00


My Wife is a beautiful woman, she keeps my home in order, makes sure I make it to work on time, and is an adequate cook.

SARI, NOT SORRY

Nikita Shah / United States / 04:35


A vibrant exploration of identity and self-expression, Sari, Not Sorry follows drag performer LaWhore Vagistan through a day in New York City. The film reimagines the sari as a living symbol of empowerment, fluidity, and cultural pride.

STICKY BUNS, RAVIOLI, AND WHITE CAKE

Nicole Pouchet / United States / 10:30


During breakfast, a grown-up Alice tries to convince the Mad Hatter to share his emotions so that Wonderland won't collapse along with his mental stability.
