“We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life.” It’s been a while, right? Many of us have spent the last two years as hermits huddling against the invisible threats, so this year, we’re featuring a slate of shorts that examine what it’s like to be among others, just in case you’ve forgotten. These stories include tales from family gatherings and the minefield they can represent, all the way to the goings-on at a full-fledged film shoot!
These stories examined the expectations of those who come together, and the feelings of those who are finally able to return to what they once knew. These films are powerful statements of what it means to be with the ones we love... and those we may wish we could avoid.
