Regular by Nata Metlukh

"The story is set in a graphic design world where fonts are the main characters. They have unique properties: Bold makes everything thicker, Italic tilts things, Monospace equalizes objects by width, etc. Fonts team up to build a garden, and the five boxing wizards jump in quickly to inspect their work. A negative space storm flushes everything away, but Regular comes and fixes the garden."

Logline: The five boxing wizards jump quickly.

Fruit by Gerhard Funk

"Rise into being, mature, perish – 'Fruit' tells a creation story.

The Fishman by Leto S. Meade


"The journey of a dying fish’s last moments. 'The Fishman' formally embodies the transitory, shapeshifting nature of life and the inevitability of change by plunging its disembodied anthropomorphic protagonist between different mediums and styles."

From Over Here (On Stuttering) by Patrick Buhr

"This is a film about stuttering. Oh, and also about apple trees, catcallers, Goethe's Faust, pigeons, forests and girls on horses."
