Lost and Found: International Shorts 2
The second shorts program features a collection of international films curated around the theme of “lost and found,” where the dramatic experience of getting lost, whether in the vast beauty of the expansive countryside, the comfort of a familiar place, or through being subjected to the perils of war, hopelessness, and even madness is offset by the transformative reassurance of finding oneself again. Films from South Africa, Germany, Argentina, France, and more make up this collection.
