Synopsis

A showcase of 5 local short films. In "A Day, That Year", a seemingly harmless punishment meted out on a 5-year-old becomes a pivotal childhood experience that will forever change him. In "The Feeling of Being Close to You", the filmmaker and her mother candidly discuss intergenerational trauma and abuse in a reconciliatory phone conversation. In "Mothers", three generations of women - doting grandmother, harried mother and innocent daughter -negotiate interdependence as well as differing priorities and desires. In "Breaking News", 18-year-old Eliza grapples with her pregnancy and the prospect of abortion. In "Lay Over", Daniel and Claudia toy with the idea of getting back together four months after their breakup.
