This short film program includes the following films:
Crush (2011)
Prom Night in the South Bronx, Michael is in for the an evening of horror, hilarity and hope as he decides whether or not to man up and 'kick it' to his high school Crush or 'punk out' and let him walk into the sunset.
Sam
After being bullied and beaten for dressing like a boy at school, Sam escapes into the fields surrounding her house, where she's forced to spend the night and choose between who she is and who the world expects her to be. Sam mixes fantasy and reality, challenging our perception of identity and the world around us, and providing encouragement to young people who are still trying to figure out who they are, where their place is, and who they want to be.
The Art of Walking the Streets (A arte de andar pelas ruas de Brasília)
Two girls meet the city.
Prora
Prora, on the Baltic Sea. Mysterious, endless. In this deserted former Nazi holiday camp and communist military complex, teenagers Jan and Matthieu embark on an adventure that confronts their identities and puts their friendship at risk.
Revolution
Revolution is the coming-of-age story of Jack, a 16-year-old Iranian boy growing up in Los Angeles, 1989. The story is set in motion when Jack’s parents fire his beloved nanny Letti, for teaching him to pray. As his mother explains, “if it wasn’t for religion, we would never be here.”
Shabbat Dinner
Shabbat Dinner is boring as usual for William Shore. His mother has invited two crazy hippies and their son and is doing her best to show off, his father is drunk and berating their oddball guests, and he doesn't have much in common with their son Virgo. That is, until Virgo tells him that he has just come out as gay. In William's room, the boys speak directly to each other about themselves, while just a few feet away the adults discuss trivialities about prep school, marrying Jewish, and nonfat ice cream.
The Maiden and the Princess
Emmy kisses a girl on the playground and is left feeling isolated and alone. The Grand High Council of Fairy Tale Rules and Standards sends her a hetero-normative fairytale to set her down the ‘right’ path in THE MAIDEN AND THE PRINCESS.
