Love, Dad
Director - Diana Cam Van Nguyen (Czech Republic / Slovakia) Time - 13 min A short film about ties and gaps between a child and a parent. The author rediscovers love letters her dad used to write her from prison. That love seems to be gone now. She decides to write back in hope to find the connection again. She puts in writing what could not be said: blaming him for family´s break-up but also trying to understand. |
Menagerie
Director - Jack Gray (USA) Time - 4:30 min Day after day, inhabitants of the Menagerie play out their daily lives like clockwork.

Slower Animals
Director - John C. Kelley (USA) Time - 7 min While aimlessly following a winter goose migration across the American south, a professor slips in and out of childhood memories that all surround a forgotten trauma. This short animated film explores the ways we are shaped; both by what we remember and what we forget. |
Wet
