This short film program includes the following films:
la fille du boulanger (The Baker’s Daughter)
The Baker's Daughter has things to tell her father: things of love, of accepting oneself, of the radiating feeling of being free which comes in full force, despite the weight of others' looks which could be threatening
La Petit Salon
Quynh, a young Vietnamese American woman, works at her mother’s hair salon where she is displaced within the Vietnamese culture and community. She encounters everyday conversations about men, domestic politics, and community gossip from the interactions her mother has with their predominately Vietnamese women patrons.
Poker Face
A 'girls night out' game of poker takes a surprising turn as secrets are revealed, and friendships are called into question.
Recessive
Shay is conflicted about whether to have a child with her wife, Norah. She struggles with her desire to be genetically connected to her own child--and with the knowledge that she may carry the marker for a serious genetic disorder. As Shay and Norah head off to the family home for the funeral of Shay's aunt, they must grapple with the nature of family, legacy, and parenthood. Recessive weaves experimental and personal documentary elements artfully into subtle acting to create a very modern, deeply emotional, narrative film.
Mice Heaven
Unique animation mixes with live action in Mice Heaven when a mother, a child and a lover are pulled together and pushed apart.
You Move Me
You Move Me is a buddy story about Tru and Dex and the dangers of moving Tru out of her ex-girlfriend’s apartment.
Secrets
Secrets is a hot new webseries featuring Boston talent and Boston backdrops. The gay soap opera is told in bite sized trailer vignettes. Secrets is produced by the team of Faith Soloway and Ian Brownell, whose other works include "Jesus Has Two Mommies," and "Miss Folk America." You can catch up with Secrets on faithsoloway.com.
