NJ/NY Film Short Series - 90 minutes - plus talkbacks
The Spe@k Project Directed by Devan Be
The message of this film is that each of us has a voice that needs to be found and heard. When silenced, we become invisible. This moving drama places the young adult experience center stage, as it tackles issues such as bullying, dating violence, mental illness, LGBT teen homelessness, substance abuse, etc.
Spirit Children Directed by Ralph Patterson
There remains a belief among some people within a limited area of northern Ghana, that children born with birth defects are omens of bad fortune. These "spirit children" as prescribed by custom are banished or put to death for sake of the remaining family and community. Sister Stan Terese Mario Mumuni and her staff take these children and restore them to their communities by assisting with proper healthcare, education and employment.
Second Skin Directed by Elisa Goodkind & Lily Mandelbaum
If personal style is the externalization of the soul, then Second Skin documents what unfolds when two souls are swapped. The film provides a rebuttal to the perception that style is vapid and to the notion that our most current set of fashion arbiters are able to accurately discern authenticity.
A Girl Like You with a Boy Like Me Directed by Ruben Amar
Today and more than ever, Bhadraksh is determined to end a long period of doubt. In a few moments, he will announce to the one he has always loved that he wants to end the relationship. Bhadraksh is a guide, a lighthouse standing proudly in the midst of the ocean, a rampart against masculine weakness.
Proper Steps Directed by Patrick Coyle
With the destruction of New York City imminent, Francis, a young cartoonist who stays isolated in his apartment is forced to come to terms with the regretful decisions he's made in his life. By drawing out his memories on paper, the remnants of a broken triangle involving his father and a young woman are brought back to life, and even though the last thing he wants to do is call his estranged father and try to make amends, the mixture of a massive tsunami looming in the distance and his ever present guilt leads him on a path towards reconciliation.
