ABOUT THE EVENT: The definition of home is different for everyone. These films tackle the complicated feeling of building a home. How does the meaning of home change when you’ve changed so much? We’re excited to showcase these three films which tackle all those complicated emotions that we resonate with. ABOUT THE FILMS: Lucía, the Woman Without a Face Director: Georga Morgan-Fleming, José Herrera Producers: Georga Morgan-Fleming, José Herrera, Hector Martinez Writers: Georga Morgan-Fleming, José Herrera USA | 15min @20gallonsfilm @georgamf Javier is haunted by a recurring nightmare: he’s trapped in a strange house with something waiting for him in the basement. Despite his mother’s reassurance that they’re only dreams (“solo son sueños”), he can’t shake the feeling that a darker significance lurks below the surface. After another sleepless night, he finally gives in and tries hanging a crucifix over his bed to ward off the dream, but instead, finds himself being pulled in deeper. Shooting Watermelons Director: Antonio Donato Producers: Patrick James Verlin – Courageous Donuts, Olivia Serafini Sauli, VIA73 Writer: Paolo Carbone, Antonio Donato Italy, UK | 20min @toto.donato @antonio-donato Federico is on holiday with his father and brother in a summer residence in Sardinia. Their father, Aurelio, is a severe and overtly masculine man who makes Federico feel anxious and inadequate. When a wealthy German family invites them to dinner, Federico discovers he is not so different from his father. RESET Director: Celine Tien, Jerry Hsu Producers: Julien Soros Writers: Celine Tien, Jerry Hsu USA | 16min @virtuallyceline, @jerrymandered, @zucchinifred In a near-future Texas where aging citizens are reverted to childhood under a program called RESET, Riley becomes caretaker to a twelve-year-old version of her own mother – rebellious, sharp-tongued, and haunted by memories that shouldn’t exist. When RESET officials take a sudden interest in Riley, the family is brought to Austin, where the program’s gleaming promise begins to unravel. A grounded sci-fi dramedy about memory, inheritance, and what we owe the people who raised us.
