Short Film Program 3: The Reality of Illusion

Running time: 112 mins

Nothing is as it appears, but the shadows may be the truth. The Reality of Illusion examines the very idea of truth and its relationship with the world in which we live. These stories are masterfully crafted expressions of the ways we attempt to manipulate how the outside views our choices, whether about contrived arguments within contrived relationships or the open secrets we have always known but are shocked to hear spoken aloud. What happens when the liar begins to buy into the lie, and when the entire illusion comes crashing down? The Reality of Illusion brings together nine stories about the blurry line between truth and myth, and how it affects both the viewer and the viewed. – Chris Garcia Sponsored by LaCie
