Shorts included in this package:
THE ELEPHANT WHISPERERS - Dir. Kartiki Gonsalves | India, 39m
The Elephant Whisperers follows an indigenous couple as they fall in love with Raghu, an orphaned elephant given into their care, and tirelessly work to ensure his recovery and survival.
HAULOUT - Dir. Maxim Arbugaev, Evgenia Arbugaeva | United Kingdom / Russia, 25m
A man is waiting in his hut in the desolate expanse of the Russian Arctic. He is holding out to observe a natural event that occurs there every year. But ocean warming is taking its toll.
HOW DO YOU MEASURE A YEAR? - Dir. Jay Rosenblatt | USA, 29m
For 17 years, filmmaker Jay Rosenblatt filmed his daughter Ella on her birthday in the same spot, asking the same questions. What results is a unique chance to watch time, to see a young woman come into focus physically, mentally and emotionally.
THE MARTHA MITCHELL EFFECT - Dir. Anne Alvergue | USA, 39m
She was once as famous as Jackie O. Then she tried to take down a President. The Martha Mitchell Effect is an archival portrait of the unlikeliest of whistleblowers: Martha Mitchell, a Republican cabinet wife, gaslit by the Nixon Administration to keep her quiet. It offers a female gaze on Watergate through the eyes of the woman herself.
STRANGER AT THE GATE - Dir. Joshua Seftel | USA, 30m
After 25 years of service, a US Marine filled with hatred for Muslims plots to bomb an Indiana mosque. When he comes face to face with the immigrants he seeks to kill, the story takes a shocking twist toward compassion, grace, and forgiveness.
