This year, our annual feast of the spellbinding, weird, wild, mad, and macabre is one for the ages. These films eschew the everyday to deliver the thought and emotional benders that just won’t fit into the ordinary. Stories of worlds that are familiar to our dream selves waltz mercilessly with crazy aesthetics, and some dig deep into our relationship with technology.
These tales range from cyberpunk to simply oddball, but they all will stretch the limits of that you may think short films can do. Mindbenders is aptly named, and the forms they deliver will haunt and delight you.
