• Shorts Program 8: Reflections from the East and Back

    by  • March 7, 2005 • Shorts


    This unusual collection of shorts has everything from documentary to action, and gives us a look at people in a variety of cultures. There’s “Mujaan,” a documentary about the building of a Mongolian yurt. “Fallen Angels” is a strange action piece with guns and swords made in reaction to the limitations placed on on-screen violence in film school. “Skinning” and “The Eyes” bring us tragedy from different viewpoints, while “Helmut” is a surreal comedy. “Little Terrorist” manages to be at once frightening and funny as it follows a boy who mistakenly crosses over from Pakistan into India. The gem of the batch is “Detective Q,” a mockumentary about a detective with an unusual gift that is as annoying as it is useful.
    Shows 3/6, 9:45 pm (Camera 12) and 3/8, 5:00 pm (Camera 12).
