These 11 shorts present strange tales and sonorous forays into the world of abstract animation. Jay Rosenblatt's Afraid So (US 3 mins) is a cinépoem for these anxious times. Eva Weber's The Intimacy of Strangers (UK 20 mins) uses overheard cell phone calls to explore public and private space. Dennis Iannuzzi's Vitruvius' Toybox (US 7 mins) is an homage to Dada's experiments with text, form and motion. Jay Rosenblatt's Phantom Limb (US 28 mins) is a haunting journey into a family secret. Ken Paul Rosenthal's Arcs of Texture (US 6 mins) pays a Bay Area tribute to the cinematic city symphony film genre. Tiffany Doesken-Polos' Falling (US 4 mins) seductively studies the human form. Kassandra Wellendorf's Outside (Denmark 14 mins) cleverly considers Danish tourism in Iceland. Stephanie Maxwell's All That Remains (US 6 mins) is a brilliant blend of visual montage with musique-concréte. Diana Rumjahn's Going Home (US 5 mins) is a photo-roman starring a cast of homesick plush animals. Lee Gardner's Wakeup (US 5 mins) weaves the night before with the morning after. David Kellum's Ambassadors Day (US 21 mins) is a post-apocapalyptic sci-fi spoof about intergalactic diplomacy. — K. Davis
