Shorts Program 11A: Life Lessions
Running time: 121 mins
Some films are able to tell a great story while imparting life lessons to the viewer; others feature the characters themselves learning lesssons of their own.
This program of student work is a combination of various styles, featuring bubbles and balloons, pills and pigeons, monkeys and masked heroes, as they tell coming-of-age stories with unique vision, give insights into contemporary political challenges, and craft tales of hilarious confrontations, often all in the same film.
