Short Film Program 6: DocuNation

Short Film Program 6

Running time: 110 mins

The truth, well told, is preferable to any lie. Documentary short form is the oldest arena of film! DocuNation brings heartbreaking tales together with satire and comedy, beautiful images with lovely animation, tradition with experimentation. You will find an examination of everything from the Velvet Underground to bounce houses, from spoken word poetry to Moth man. These are films that examine the pain we inflict on one another, as well as the joys simple interactions can provide, and they all come together to form the DocuNation. – Chris Garcia Sponsored By LaCie Presented In Honor Of Jim Boyce
