A short filmmaker often has even greater storytelling challenges than a feature filmmaker, and those that succeed are a wonder to behold. This year we proudly give some of our favorites (and finalists) their due in our spotlight program. The screening line-up includes films with a twist, and films that will make you laugh and cry. Guaranteed. Join us for the world premieres of USAFF fave Bill Plympton’s hilarious Hot Dog and Glen Luchford’s unforgettable modern noir piece Dark Yellow, featuring John Hawkes; Casey Stangl’s quirky comedy CU@ED’S; Matthew Perkins’s endearing Magic Juan; AJ Ingoglia and Bob O’Reilly’s wrenchingly terrific Paper Angels; Justin Lerner’s powerful drama The Replacement Child and Taron Lexton’s charming comedy Struck. Program time: 90 minutes.
