There comes a time when our lives call out for change. The colorful characters in this array of shorts embark on singular searches for that new way of life. In Brian Hennigan's quirky Duck Man (UK 10 mins), a simple guy becomes a celebrity after taking a job overseeing local waterfowl. Deva Palmier's Fishy (UK 10 mins) stars Shirley Henderson as a lonely, unemployed woman envious of her goldfish's trouble-free life. In brisk black and white, Laurence Walsh's Cold Kenya (Poland 31 mins) follows the daily, often wretched, existence of a successful businessman exploring avenues of escape. Fed up with life's constant little indignities, one woman takes control in Jörgen Hjerdt's It's My Turn Now (Sweden 7 mins). Ready (US 2 mins), from Lev Yilmaz's pencil-drawn Tales of Mere Existence, contemplates that seemingly simplest of routines: preparing to start the day. Swimming lessons help an overweight woman become thin in Stefanie Berk's Disappearing (US 16 mins). And in Chris Waitt's Dupe (Scotland 10 mins) a lazy dude buys a clone machine on eBay so he can have someone else keep his apartment clean. — J. Parsont
