Shorts Program 8: Student Short Film Competition

Running time: 134 mins

Provocative and inventive, the Student Shorts Program represents the best films being made in colleges and universities both in the Bay Area and around the world. This collection showcases a diverse range of subjects and styles - from high-tension films with depth (The Banana Monologues, Sobre la Mesa, ¡Una Carrerita, Doctor!), to smart and touching films about humanity (The Pool Party, No Robots, Loop Planes), to meditations on life (The Eagleman Stag), love and loss (The Love Song of Iskra Prufrock) and finding one's place in the world (Terrebone, Jimbo). A little comedy (The Vacation of Death) and an exciting documentary (Top Spin) complete this impressive display of young filmmaking talent.
