International Shorts 4 – Saturday Night Shorts

Description

The final collection of screendance shorts from around the world is centered on the themes of light, loss, oppression, and scaling heights told through dance. Anchored by the Australian autobiographical feature Ward of the State, about girls who were stolen from their families and placed in convents, the program also includes the world premiere of Bay-Area filmmaker Austin Forbord’s compelling new film exploring the plight of formerly incarcerated men and their relationship to their sons. Films from Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. round out the program.
