The tension between traditional family values and modern love. The loss of a loved one. The outright terror of turning in a class project late. This year's Student Shorts program is an extraordinary collection of captivating films that explore universal themes—love, loss, family, connection, embracing your true self, and (of course) disposing of a body. With unique approaches to storytelling that only young, emerging artists can capture, these tales showcase a diverse range of subjects, styles, and perspectives on life in truly dynamic ways.
