When our minds play tricks on us, many strange and beautiful things can happen. From deep dreams to mental challenges, these shorts travel the byways of our brains to great effect. A man and a woman chase love in their separate–but equal–dreams in Massimo Amici's She He (Italy 9 mins). In Jackie Oudney's Vagabond Shoes (UK 18 mins), a homeless man reveals a new persona when a lost suit allows him to crash a swank New Year's Eve party. In Hoku Uchiyama's Rose (US 34 mins), young Travis meets a teenage girl whose friendship, and murder, he is destined to revisit each year. The graphic artistry of Bert&Bertie's Phobias (UK 8 mins) explores the inner worlds of the bizarre fears that can afflict us. Assertiveness training goes to a new level in Nick Reed's Assertion Techniques (UK 3 mins). And when two men find themselves trapped in a well in Jeremy Haccoun's Paradox (UK 19 mins), who's got the real story–the one who thinks he's in his own backyard, or the one who thinks they're prisoners in a medieval dungeon?
