I Want to Live on Mars - Mariya Somova (Lancaster, Pennsylvania)

Two unlikely friends embark on a journey to escape life in a ghost town devastated by disaster. In broad strokes, two young women (Pickles, very rural, and Breezy, very urban) are brought together by the mistakes or the circumstances of their guardians beyond their control. After months of a prickly, unlikely friendship, and a series of poetically unexpected events, the two strike out on their own, leaving behind whatever scraps they had in exurban Pennsylvania in search of "Life on Mars." 2023; 80 min. 



Pripyat Horse – Sally Patricia Pearce (Penmachno, United Kingdom)

‘A sparrow flies swiftly in through one door of the hall, and out through another…. Even so, man appears on earth for a little while; but of what went before this life or of what follows, we know nothing.’ Bede A moment for mourning, for a friend, for the earth. 2024; 2 min.



Muted – Chris Zou (Bridgewater, New Jersey)

Jessica is a Chinese-American high schooler studying for a chemistry test late at night. Faced with the immense pressure of perfection, she turns to pills to enhance her studying. Her actions threaten to jeopardize her relationships with her friends, while exploring her tumultuous relationship with her mother. 2024; 6 min.



The Miracle of You – Peter Spruyt (Hollywood, California)

A man takes us on his meditation journey towards inner-peace and harmony, showing that in these enlightened times one can achieve self-forgiveness for just about anything. 2023; 5 min.



Five Loaves – Nicholas Diodato (Shamong, New Jersey)

The ongoings at a food pantry reveal the workings of a corrupt church. 2024; 6 min.
