These short films explore stange, new worlds. They boldly go, where no short has gone before…

Drawn and Quartered (Lynne Sachs, 1999, 4 min, 8mm optically printed onto 16mm) 8mm film optically printed onto 16mm to create four frames-literally a "drawn and quartered" image). A male form and a female form exist in their own private domains, separated by a barrier. Only for a moment does the one intrude upon the pictorial space of the other.

Amnesia (Margaret Harris, 2000, 14 min., 16mm) Jane, an amnesiac, stalks an apartment building from a foyer across the street. Unaware of how or why she is drawn to this place, Jane struggles to regain her memory. The mysterious tenants of the building pass by, and a few try to help her figure out why she's there.

Matt in Love (Adam Kleid, 1999, 21 min., 16mm) Matt, a lovesick young man on the brink of absolutely nothing, receives a surprise visit from his soulmate. Everything between them is fine and dandy, until she tells him she's engaged. Matt's hope for true love is fading fast. He decides it's time for action. Set in a mystical Manhattan populated by balloons and waterfalls.

Confederation Park (Bill Brown, 1999, 32 min., 16mm) Canada's not sure it wants to be a country, which is partly what this film is abooot. An essay on terrorist bombings, and bad weather, and the way the map in your head looks nothing like the map on a road atlas.

Kuroi Hitsuji (Black Sheep) (Aaron Woolfolk, 1998, 25 min., 16mm) Set in Japan, and based on Aaron Woolfolk's own experiences when he taught in Kochi, Kuroi Hitsuji depicts the relationship between an African American teacher and a junior high school student with a mental disability.

Presented by: Many of the filmmakers are expected to attend including Lynne Sachs, Margaret Harris, Aaron Woolfolk…Adam Kleid will not be here-he just got married and it on his honeymoon in Mexico!
