Hybrid Doc Shorts
American Capitalism
France, 2013, 9 minutes
Director: Thibault Le Texier
In 1955, professor of history Clifton L. Ganus Jr., revealed the holy trinity of American capitalism. Made entirely from institutional films from the 1940s to the 1970s. The self-referential discourse of the institutional movies used here, for which you need "more things for more jobs for more things," is crippled by two major contradictions: the Protestant appraisal of thrift and the hedonistic promotion of the most unrestrained consumption. This film makes us reflect on how our current consumption continues to be sold under the label of freedom.
The Audience
USA, 2013, 10 minutes
Director: Jon Berkowitz
Six hidden cameras capture an intimate and original Los Angeles based theater experience in which two audience members watch a 10-minute play performed inside of a car. When the actors suddenly expect the audience to perform, big questions present themselves. Is this simply a case of mistaken identity? Or is the true purpose of theater exposed?
Noah
USA, 2013, 18 minutes
Director: Walter Woodman, Patrick Cederberg
In a story that plays out entirely on a teenager's computer screen, Noah follows its eponymous protagonist as his relationship takes a rapid turn for the worse in this fascinating study of behavior (and romance) in the digital age.
A Story for the Modlins
Spain, 2012, 26 minutes
Director: Sergio Oksman
After appearing in the film Rosemary's Baby, by Roman Polanski, Elmer Modlin ran away with his wife Margaret and his son Nelson to a distant land. They shut themselves inside a dark apartment, where Margaret devoted herself to painting the coming Apocalypse, using Nelson and Elmer as models. Thirty years later, hundreds of the family's intimate photographs and documents appeared on the sidewalk like a jigsaw puzzle, waiting for someone to come along and piece together "a story for the Modlins".
To This Day
Canada, 2013, 7 minutes
Produced by Giant Ant
To This Day is a project based on a spoken word poem written by Shane Koyczan called "To This Day", to further explore the profound and lasting impact that bullying can have on an individual. Vancouver-based studio Giant Ant collaborated with Shane to visualize this story and pushed it to the broader animation community. Eighty-six animators and motion artists donated their time and brought their unique styles to 20-second segments that are threaded into one uid voice.
