Shorts: Current Future – When Everything Changed
Shorts: Current Future – When Everything Changed
Description

Three films for 14+ exploring changes, shifts and preserving the status quo. Some of You Fucked Eva recalls the moment when the cheerleaders at a high school all fainted at exactly the same time. What happened that day? Distorted images and testimonies attempt to reconstruct this event, and those leading up to it. But unlike many other reconstructions, this film is a creative, poetic and visual trip down memory lane. A truly captivating experience. In kiss kiss bang bang, the director is transitioning, and films his girlfriend’s reaction to this process. Does she still love him? Will she admit that this changes everything? He tries to see himself through her eyes. Beneath Which Rivers Flow shows a quiet, deserted, magical place where a boy lives with his cow, surrounded by nature. He cherishes the breathtaking surroundings where he and his family live, but will he be able to preserve their lifestyle, or will the outside world keep closing in?

Current Future: recommended for ages 14+
