BEYOND THE AURORA
IT’S MY FAULT
Sha Liu, China, 5m, animation
After the compression of the spiritual world by the force of
regulation, there will follow a series of emotions such as
introspection, violence, self-destruction, and untangling. This work
utilizes the approach of the digital medium itself to deconstruct, to
form the subliminal synesthesia visually and to create a fictional
experience for the mind.
MARIO
Tess Martin, USA, 4m, animation
In Italian playgrounds a song is chanted that dates back to World
War I. This paint on glass animation tells this dark tale of a soldier
who returns home from war to find his girlfriend has left him.
TIPPING POINT
Stephanie Young, 7m, drama
Riley is a socially-awkward barista who is crushing hard on Piper,
an attractive customer who always seems to over-tip. Despite
encouragement from Brad, their outgoing coworker, they don’t think
they stand a chance. When they see her performing at a burlesque
show, they are given the opportunity to overcome their shyness and
tell her how they really feel.
NUTS
Theo Sena, USA, 4m, drama
A man wakes up and fixes a world that isn’t broken
(Film begins with 15 seconds of sound over black)
