ABOUT THE EVENT: It’s a new dawn, a new day, a new block of films. Here we see characters wrestle with changes in the world, relationships, and their lives. We see the characters in these films encounter breaking points and how they change will dictate a new course for their lives. ABOUT THE FILMS: Fairground Director: Jess Berry Producers: Giulia Alexander, Jess Berry Writer: Jess Berry USA | 13min @brrygood @fairground_film Falling in love with Shane, a wandering carnie at the county fair, risks teenage hog farmer Maggie’s place in her family’s Grand Champion legacy. Drawn into the thrill of first love on the forbidden midway, Maggie drifts from the barn—and from her mother, shattering the trust their relationship was built on. As the summer’s biggest swine competition approaches, her desire for a different destiny threatens to upend everything she’s been raised to become. GISELLE Director: Lauren Goetzman Producers: Tony Yang, João Pereira-Webber Writer: Lauren Goetzman USA | 16min @laurenngoetzman On Yom Kippur’s eve, Reut (45) avoids grief by hosting a holiday dinner days after her brother’s death. But a cursed encounter with her estranged aunt at a Kosher market – and a vision of rotten meat – begin to crack her composure. As three generations gather, a haunting call and a moment of stillness lead Reut to open the door, at last, to mourning, tradition, and the healing her family needs. When Big People Lie Director: Gianfranco Fernández-Ruiz Producers: Gus Murray, Amy Kouxiao Writers: Gianfranco Fernández-Ruiz, Pablo Cervera USA | 14min @gianfranco_f_ruiz @sashamerci @whenbigpeoplelie Elvis is ten, curious, and already fluent in the language of small lies. His mother Lola sells them dreams—furniture, fairy tales, fake marriages—to keep them afloat. But when fantasy collides with post-9/11 paranoia and Elvis begins inventing stories of his own to cope with a disappeared man, an old apartment, and a fake Eiffel Tower. As truth slips further from view, so does childhood, and the two must reckon with what her survival has cost them.
