How do we judge what's true and what's real? How can film or video manipulate truth and fabricate a new reality? Complicated questions call for shrewd shorts: Stephanie Argy and Alec Boehm recreate newsreel footage of Gandhi's secret 1927 visit–and nonviolent hitting–at Yankee Stadum in Gandhi at the Bat (US 11 mins). Ewan Telford's brilliant remix of classic cinema, Apocalypse Oz (US 25 mins) brings The Wizard of Oz crashing head-on into Apocalypse Now. Oh, the horror! Jason Mitchell's Filter (US 12 mins) tracks news media interpretations of a convenience-store robbery, deriving insightful interpretations of his own. In another convenience store a continent away, a philosophizing customer forces us to reconsider the ideals of our interconnectedness in Sainath Choudhury's Cataract (Germany 10 mins). On the anniversary of the 2005 London subway bombings, a grieving mother wrestles with her anguish, fears and prejudices on a flight back to England in Anthony Green's Screening (Canada 15 mins). In Xavier De Choudens' 00h17 (France 10 mins), a group of young men awaiting the midnight train find a surprisingly stellar way to entertain themselves. — J. Parsont
