Shorts Program 1: Mirror, Mirror
by Ealasaid Haas • February 19, 2007 • Cinequest 17, Shorts
This collection of shorts ranges from the absurd to the sublime. There is a dialog-free piece following a woman in a museum as she is touched by the exhibits and finds one that is out of the ordinary. Another tells the story of a little girl who is exceptionally pragmatic. Some are at once silly and wise, like “Skin Heads,” a parable about human kindness in the guise of a silly piece featuring a kindly old woman and her son in a house surrounded by local skinheads. This is a lovely, peculiar collection sure to provoke thought and discussion.
